Set in the gorgeous, hand-painted city of Cloudbank, Transistor tells a perplexing, yet simple story about a woman named Red and her trusty sword, the Transistor. When viewed as a single entity, Transistor is a challenging, creative, touching title that does the indie community proud. Aspects of the game can seem under-explained, complicated, or downright bizarre until they all become one. This partial lyric illustrates the game’s greatest faults and its unmistakable beauty: Transistor as a whole is greater than the sum of its parts. “We all become one.” While its unlikely that Supergiant Games and composer Darren Korb intended the definitive song from Transistor‘s superb soundtrack to perfectly explain the game, nothing could be truer.
