Transistor is the Spiritual Successor to Supergiant Games' previous hit Bastion, featuring the returning voice talent of Logan Cunningham as the titular weapon. In the city of Cloudbank, a young singer known as Red is attacked by a mysterious organization known as the Camerata. Somehow, she survives (although she loses her voice) but finds the dead body of a man she knows. Impaled in his stomach is a mysterious sword called the Transistor, and contained within the sword is the soul of the man himself. Red takes the sword, and together they set out to discover the intentions of the Camerata and stop the dangerous force known as the Process from overtaking the city.Gameplay is a mixture of real-time action comparable to Bastion and tactical RPG-like elements; "Planning Mode", A.K.A. "Turn()", can be used to plan a chain of attacks and move around at high speed when executing the plan. There are a number of Functions (a.k.a. spells) to unlock, each capable of being used as a skill themselves, an upgrade to another Function, or as a passive ability, with a huge variety of available combinations. | |

Cherry Tapping: Ping() does almost no damage, but has an extremely high attack speed and really low Turn() cost. It pairs well with Load() to trigger the bombs that program creates. | |

Darker and Edgier: The game is noticeably darker than Bastion. While Bastion takes place After the End, Transistor puts the player right in the middle of the ongoing apocalypse as they get to watch everything fall apart around them. And unlike Bastion, nobody survives to the end of the game (or at least nobody survives unprocessed). | |

Democracy Is Flawed | |
| Transistor (Video Game) / int_18150c85 | comment |
Democracy Is Flawed: Everything in Cloudbank — from the weather to the color of the sky — is decided by public poll. This has left the city constantly changing to suit whatever whim the citizens have, and frequently left the less-well off at the mercy of a tyranny of the majority. Seems to be the motive of the Camerata, seeking to build a better system through the use of the Transistor and the Process, though the exact details are never revealed. | |

Gone Horribly Wrong: Royce Brackett found the Process was responsible for Cloudbank's ever-shifting nature, and drew it forth in its raw form. Then he let Grant borrow the Transistor, the Camerata targeted Red, and everything went to Hell.

Mythology Gag | |
| Transistor (Video Game) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: Starting a "recursive" run plays the first sentence spoken in the game in a distorted manner (and voiced by a different character). This is very similar to the New Game Plus from Bastion. The Central Theme from Bastion occurs here again, only this time the player isn't even given the option to start over again, seeing that the protagonist is Driven to Suicide. | |

Verbal Tic | |
| Transistor (Video Game) / int_26d1f65f | comment |
Royce has a Verbal Tic of repeating parts of his sentences, sometimes with slightly different phrasing, with alternate words. He only stops in the cutscene that reveals he has his own copy of the Transistor. And after Red beats him and destroys the copy, he starts repeating again, just before he dies. In fact, he repeats himself twice. | |

Awesome, but Impractical | |
| Transistor (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: Using Help() as a passive command gives you a 25% chance of becoming a Superuser whenever you use Turn(), giving you access to the unique Kill() command that has the highest base damage in the game, but it can't be enhanced with support commands and using it once takes up your entire Turn(), meaning you can't perform any combos with it either. It won't help if you were lining up for a piercing attack like Breach(); you're out of luck since you can only use Kill() this turn and it explodes on first impact. Using Help() as a primary function has similar problems. The awesome: you can summon a Fetch, one of the most dangerous Processes, and upgrade it with other functions to make it even more powerful. The impractical: once you exceed a very short distance from the pet, it unsummons. Yes, if you exceed this distance during a Turn(), despite ending the Turn() right next to the pet, it will still unsummon. The super super impractical: if you exceed the distance during your Turn(), your Turn() ENDS, AND you lose the pet. This pretty much makes Help() one of the most disruptive support enemies you could face in the game. | |

Combinatorial Explosion | |
| Transistor (Video Game) / int_320cbf82 | comment |
Combinatorial Explosion: Every new function you find has one of three uses: Active, Upgrade, or Passive. Active uses the function as a skill, either damage-dealing or support. Upgrade uses the function to enhance an active function, and Passive enhances Red herself. There are a total of 16 functions to choose from, so there's a lot of ways to mix and match. In New Game Plus, you unlock additional copies of the functions which allow you to stack them for even more combinations. The game even keeps track of which combinations you've actually used in battle, and each function needs to be used in each type of slot at least once to unlock the available backstory for that function. | |

Magic from Technology: All of the Transistor's Functions have names and parentheses like programming code functions. Among other things, the Transistor is meant to control the Process, which in gameplay takes the form of combat against the Process. You are figuratively typing out commands to terminate processes when you queue up moves during Turn(). But it all looks like you're casting magic spells. | |

Game-Breaking Bug | |
| Transistor (Video Game) / int_33ca811a | comment |
Game-Breaking Bug: Multiple copies of Get() as an upgrade tend not to react well in Turn(). The most common example of this is using a Tap() and Void() with both augmented by Get(). If you try to use both against tougher Processes, Turn() can lock up if you stack Tap() on top of Void() multiple times, forcing you to abort the sequence using 'R' and lose out on the damage you should have done from the additional uses of Tap(). | |

Fantastical Social Services: Cloudbank is run by the Central Administration, which polls citizens daily through the OVC news terminals to determine policy down to the scale of the shapes of buildings and the colour of the sky; its members include people like Farrah Yon-Dale, a professional sky painter who spited popular vote one day to use her suitor's favourite colours instead, and Bailey Gilande, an archivist of Cloudbank's nebulous history. The Camerata are motivated by disillusionment with this system, hoping to make their mark on the city a little more permanent. | |

Boring, but Practical | |
| Transistor (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6 | comment |
Boring, but Practical: There's a lot of cool skills, but Crash() is by far the most useful standby you'll have. It has a decent attack speed, decent Turn() cost, stuns, synergizes well with most other functions, and its only drawback is short range. Jaunt() is simply a low cost dash move. Slap Help() into it and half your enemies will be busy clawing at decoys you left behind as you dance around like a bunny on crack. Put Load() into it and you'll be bombing Processes left and right just by moving. This'll cost you a fair bit of MEM, though. Alternatively, tack it on to any function as an upgrade. You now have a function which works during Turn() cooldown, which is practically indispensable in later battles when collecting Cells is imperative, and makes killing shielded Badcells much easier. | |

Unintentionally Unwinnable | |
| Transistor (Video Game) / int_3ac5110b | comment |
Unintentionally Unwinnable: The Permanence limiter makes functions overload whenever you uninstall them. An insane player might try to use this to overload all of their functions, but functions start uninstalling normally again when you're down to your last four. There's only a set of three functions in the game that are completely incapable of dealing damage if you restrict yourself to them... Jaunt, Mask and Void. But with the Recursion copies of those functions, it is therefore possible to make sure that your last four functions can't deal damage. Since the game uses a profile system for saves, leaving this state requires restoring a manual backup. | |

The Unfought | |
| Transistor (Video Game) / int_464dd7cc | comment |
The Unfought: Two members of the Camerata, Grant and Asher, are never actually fought, having committed suicide just before Red could reach them. Especially surprising in regards to Grant, who was played up as the main antagonist in both the launch trailer and the game itself. He never gets a single line of dialogue. The second iteration of the Spine is never fought. Its tail just harasses you for a few sections. | |

Central Theme | |
| Transistor (Video Game) / int_5ce7dbb9 | comment |
Central Theme: Hubris, and the consequences of never looking back. The Camerata end up unearthing the Process in an attempt to control Cloudbank forever, but in doing so they doom the entire city. Similarly, Red manages to come out on top against the Camerata, but chooses to take her own life so she won't be alone anymore. Also, the uncomfortable consequences of forced change. Cloudbank is constantly changing itself, which is supposed to stop boredom and ennui. Instead, it seemingly causes those same things- after all, if things are always changing, then change itself becomes repetitive. On a grander scale, the Process is simply returning the city back to its basic form, while the last third of the plot is Red and Royce realizing that they're the only two people left in the entire world and what to do about it. | |

Improbable Use of a Weapon: Though the Transistor looks like a sword, Red never actually uses it as such. Even her most basic attack has her slamming it into the ground and firing a burst of energy from the eye on the side. The only time she uses it like a proper sword is when she impales herself with it at the end of the game. | |

You Will Not Evade Me: The main purpose of Get() in all its forms. As a primary function, any enemy you hit with it is dragged to you. As an upgrade, it adds an attracting effect to the function (Void(), for example, essentially turns into a debuffing black hole). If installed as passive, it will make you draw in dropped Cells faster and from further away. Higher-level Creeps have a Get() like effect as part of their beams, and higher-level Jerks have a copy of the Get() function that they'll use on you at regular intervals. | |

Overdrive | |
| Transistor (Video Game) / int_68edd0d1 | comment |
Overdrive: The core feature of the game. Using the Transistor's Turn() function, Red has the power to slow time to a standstill, plan out the next few seconds, and perform attacks/dodge at lightning-speed for those few seconds. The drawback is that doing this will cause all of Red's attacks and Turn() itself to go on cooldown; the time it takes to recharge depends on how much Red did during Turn(), up to five seconds if you used the whole bar. Jaunt() bypasses this restriction, either as a primary function or as an upgrade for other functions. | |

Though should Red let Royce win, then instead, Royce gets to completely rebuild the city. "Come closer." | |

Back from the Dead | |
| Transistor (Video Game) / int_8967e17f | comment |
Back from the Dead: When killed, Processes will drop a cell which can then be collected. If you fail to collect it, it will regenerate back into the Process you just killed. One Limiter can cause Processes to drop multiple cells, all of which respawn into the same enemy which spawned them. Younglady is an exception. When she is killed, she drops nearly a dozen cells with a regeneration rate half that of normal. All of them regenerate into Badcells if not collected. Badcells do not drop cells when killed in any situation. | |

There Is No Kill Like Overkill | |
| Transistor (Video Game) / int_8b606a51 | comment |
There Is No Kill Like Overkill: The game notifies you of this when you're about to do excessive damage to an enemy during planning mode,◊ as it could be better spent on killing other things. If you stack up enough damage the UI replaces the "OVERKILL!" indicator with an incredulous, "DO YOU EVEN READ" and shortly afterward, "YOU ARE MEAN", and the Transistor will sometimes comment on Red's ruthlessness after you execute an overkill attack. Despite this, it can be worthwhile to pile on a little overkill, as the game only predicts damage based on current position and it is not 100% accurate. One achievement requires doing 2048 damage in the practice arena in a single use of Turn(). The total health of the five enemies within is only 1750. As for an upper limit, you can do just above 100,000 damage with the right build. | |

Self-Imposed Challenge | |
| Transistor (Video Game) / int_8d4fcaa5 | comment |
Self-Imposed Challenge: Limiters trade detriments for increased Experience Points, like causing enemies, a.k.a Processes, to drop multiple cells, instead of the regular of just one, and when left alone for long enough, those cells bring the Processes Back from the Dead. | |

Minimalist Cast: Not quite to Bastion's extent, but there are seven characters in the entire game (not counting the couple of people that are processed into the Transistor at the start of the game), and one of them is a news reporter who never interacts with the other characters, one of them is transformed into a Process by the time you meet up with her, and another kills himself before the player can meet or even speak with him. | |

Difficult, but Awesome | |
| Transistor (Video Game) / int_9b9397bb | comment |
Difficult, but Awesome: Most high MEM cost functions veer into this. Load() lets you plant a massively damaging bomb that eats up almost half your Turn() gauge in base form. But once you've got the hang of it, it's downright deadly. Use it to upgrade Mask() to perform explosive cloaking, turn it into status debuff mine with an increased blast radius, or use Crash() to chuck it at foes like a mortar. Ping() is practically useless on its own, as even with its high attack speed its damage is negligible. Paired with other functions, though, it becomes valuable support tool. Breach() has low attack speed and high turn cost, but also pierces destructible objects and does high damage. A bit impractical by itself, but rather useful as a modifier for other functions. Used with Turn(), it does massive backstab damage and can hit multiple targets. Used with Jaunt(), you literally run through enemies, flying across the battlefield as a living projectile. | |

Foreshadowing: The song "We All Become" is basically the plot in musical form. Asher and Grant's fate also foreshadows how Red ends the story. Royce has a Verbal Tic of repeating parts of his sentences, sometimes with slightly different phrasing, with alternate words. He only stops in the cutscene that reveals he has his own copy of the Transistor. And after Red beats him and destroys the copy, he starts repeating again, just before he dies. In fact, he repeats himself twice. | |

Mind Screw: Much like Bastion, major details about the story and setting are intentionally left vague and never elaborated on, leaving players to fill in the gaps. The Very Definitely Final Dungeon is this in spades. Nothing makes any sense, you are still running around going to unknown addresses, and you are listening to an estranged scientist rambling about a object all three of you know even less about. Special mention goes to an abyss with a listed depth of "NaN". NaN in programming is shorthand for Not a Number.

Continuing is Painful | |
| Transistor (Video Game) / int_c3d60914 | comment |
Continuing is Painful: Played with. If you are killed, your highest MEM function is overloaded (unless it's your only damage-dealing function, which always overloads last), rendering it unusable, and your life bar is restored. Depending on how you've set yourself up, this can range from a mere annoyance to making the battle outright unwinnable. This is intentional and well-planned by the devs; the highest-cost function is lost first (most likely the favorite which the player dumped a bunch of powerful upgrades into), forcing players to equip and try out different functions at the next save point until the lost function is restored at a later save point. Losing a function you were relying on forces you to adapt your strategy, which gives you lots of chances to find the many hidden interactions and strategies in the game. It's also a vital component of the Mirror Boss fights. Both of them have multiple lives and will almost certainly take one of the player's functions through sheer attrition, so being able to sacrifice one is important unless you know how to win that battle without dying. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Transistor (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The Bracket Towers Maintenance Section has the code 0451, which is famously used as the initial door code in System Shock, but in that game, it was a reference to Fahrenheit 451. In a track "She Shines" has a set of lyric that could be a nod to Blade Runner. | |

Doppleganger Spin: Combining Jaunt() with Help() results in Red leaving behind decoy afterimages whenever she Flash Steps. Spark() as a passive causes Red to spawn a decoy every time she's hit, distracting enemies for a few moments. | |

Anti-Frustration Features | |
| Transistor (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3 | comment |
Anti-Frustration Features: No matter how small the remaining amount of Turn() processing left, any function you have can be used regardless of how much it would go over that leftover. This allows you to tack high-cost functions like Cull() to the end of a series of cheaper set-up functions for devastating combos. If you fumble the puzzle that requires two break points to be activated simultaneously enough times, and the Transistor says "Wait a sec", finishing it will cause the Transistor to be embarrassed, even if Red doesn't fail enough times for it to complete itself automatically. If you only have one damage-dealing function installed, it overloads last even if it has the highest MEM cost. It's important to note that this only works if your other functions do no damage of any kind; Jaunt(), for example, can do damage if you've upgraded it properly, and the game takes this into account. If you manage to overload the Transistor in the first few battles prior to the first access point, you won't lose any functions from doing so. This is especially important in New Game Plus, as a loadout optimized to beat the final boss is often impractical when dealing with greater numbers of weaker Processes. | |

Gameplay and Story Integration: The fact that your skills are functions explains why they can be used as upgrades to other functions despite being abilities themselves, since because they are literally representations of programming functions, it is entirely possible to use a function inside another function, causing the output of the outer function to be modified by the inner function (like an upgrade), while the inner function can be used by itself (like a skill). Some upgrades also refer to themselves as subroutines. | |
