    Great game for a great price. The story is actually great. I was not expecting that from an indy game. The music is awesome, the main soundtrack is amazing. This is, hands down, one of the best indy games I have ever played. I wish it gave players more flexibility in terms of ability choosing, later on in the game. Like you can choose certain limitations for certain levels. I also wishedGreat game for a great price. The story is actually great. I was not expecting that from an indy game.

Just go play it, and then go see all the videos on YouTube about the lore of this game, believe me it's worth it.… Expand

    I'm still listening to the music. This game is an absolute gem, the art design, game mechanics, story and music. Supergiant once again issues a masterclass on how to design a game.

    Fantastic score, story, and visuals. I also loved the gameplay. Being able to mix and match attacks for new combos added a lot to the depth of combat!

    Um dos jogos que mais gostei de platinar. É super divertido e o gameplay é cheio de surpresas, bem diferente e único.

    Transistor es un juego con una trama bastante interesante, un juego que te deja jugar de una manera muy simplificada o de una manera mas estratégica. un juego bastante adictivo y con una ambientación y un soundtrack muy buenos. si bien hay cosas que te pueden confundir o quizá partes de la historia que no están bien contadas, pero te deja muy buen sabor de boca al final. Muy buen cierre.

    got the game initially after i played bastion. tried it out but stopped playing pretty fast and moved on but couldn’t really remember why. then i went completely down the hades rabbit hole for over 300 hours and thought, "hey you still have that other game made by them, perhaps try it out again".
    so I did. and the art work, music and seemingly also the story are great. but the combat is    got the game initially after i played bastion. tried it out but stopped playing pretty fast and moved on but couldn’t really remember why. then i went completely down the hades rabbit hole for over 300 hours and thought, "hey you still have that other game made by them, perhaps try it out again".
    so I did. and the art work, music and seemingly also the story are great. but the combat is just not for me. the "turn feature" is an interesting concept, but doesn’t change that the combat feels clunky and complicated, at least when you compare it to bastion and hades. i’d rather have either a strategic or the hack and slay approach, but for me this doesn’t really mix well, at least not the way they have done it here. which is really a shame, since i'm very curious where the story would take me, but the combat is just way too frustrating and confusing for me.    … Expand

    the game has its own world, history, visual design, but the ideas of the previous game (Bastion) are still visible, at first I didn’t really like the combat and only at the end it was revealed more

    Transistor is an atmospheric and action-packed sci-fi RPG with excellent combat mechanics and deep customization options. The top-notch audiovisuals are complemented with a gripping storyline. Overall, Transistor is an excellent role-playing adventure. I sincerely hope, that other game companies are smart enough to copy the smartest ideas from this indie pearl. [Aug 2014]

    Transistor is an example of style and courage, an action RPG with an intriguing combat system, a fascinating story and characters. This game is also simply sublime in the field of graphics and sound. A great game by the creators of Bastion.
