As outlined in Polygon’s Transistor preview, Red was a superstar who had her voice stolen after a confrontation with five assassins. She then finds companionship in a possessed sword called the Transistor — which she found embedded in the soul’s cadaver.
The 15-minute long gameplay shows Red dispatching robots spawned by the city-wide AI, referred to as the Process, who is after the Transistor. As touched upon in Polygon's PAX hands-on, the gameplay illustrates Transistor's sideways evolution into turn-based strategy combat.
The player then pauses the gameplay, transforming the setting to a neon-techno environment, and maps out the sequence of attacking moves as highlighted in a grid formation. Later on in the footage, the player demonstrates how to set up an attack upon multiple enemies by lining them up.
The Supergiant Games announced Transistor via a tweet last week and provided a 20-minute playable section for PAX East attendees over the weekend. Transistor is slated for an early 2014 release; however, the developer is yet to decide what platforms to release it on.
