After an attack that leaves Red severely injured and her voice silenced, she comes across a sword-shaped weapon called the Transistor, which contains the consciousness of a man named Grant, who was killed by The Process. Together, Red and the Transistor must uncover the truth behind the invasion and confront those responsible.

The combat system in “Transistor” is one of its highlights. Players can alternate between a real-time combat style and a strategic turn-based approach.

During battles, players can pause time to plan their moves and select skills, allowing for tactical and dynamic gameplay. Skills can be customized and combined, giving players the freedom to create their own combat style.

Very interesting

if not mistaken these are the same people that made Hades? The graphical style is very similar. I played it for a bit and found it pretty good but it was one of those games for me that if I put it down for too long I return to it and have no idea what is going on.
