They’d be one in the same in every lexicon on the planet if it were humanly possible. It’s amazing what a change of scenery can do. I felt more inclined to explore the game’s challenges playing on Switch because the game finally clicked for me. If you have played it, getting it again depends on whether or not you liked the combat system in its original versions. If you haven’t played Transistor, you should just get it on whatever platform you can, though the Switch version is a strong choice. If I were to play the game a third time, I would definitely choose this version rather than the PC build. In docked mode, I really appreciated seeing all that art on my big TV. All of Supergiant Games’ signatures – the beautiful art and music – shine just as brightly in this version of the game. I found that I was more inclined to take risks with what moves I chose because I didn’t feel like I was fighting with the combat system as much. On the other hand, playing the game more than once may feel like less of a chore now that the combat is overall easier. Hell, I’m still not quite sure about everything that happens in Transistor, and I’ve now played it twice. In the course of a single playthrough, you’re probably not going to be able to use all your moves in all these slots, meaning that you might roll up to the final boss without being quite sure of what’s going on. To find out that character’s background, you have to use their move in an Active slot, which is your main move slot, as well as an Upgrade slot, which modifies a move to give it additional powers, and finally, in a Passive slot, which gives you a passive skill like recharging health or spawning a copy of yourself to distract enemies. ![]() Each move you use with the Transistor is linked to a major or minor character from the city. It’s still got a confusing story, and even though fixing the gameplay makes it easier to access other parts of the game’s lore, it is all still delivered in a cumbersome way. In this go around, I had three Limiters on, and even by the final boss I considered adding another to up the challenge.īecause playing Transistor on Switch fixed my one gameplay problem, I noticed some of the game’s other issues more. Some of them reduce how many moves you can use one makes enemies hit twice as hard. In my original playthrough, I never once touched the Limiters, which are an in-game combat challenge setting that you can apply which will award you with more experience points. I was surprised by how much easier it was. It’s not surprising that the game feels so finessed on the Switch, since the original game came out in 2014, so development studio Supergiant Games has had time to perfect the control scheme for this version. ![]() Boss fights that I once struggled with sometimes felt a little too easy. It made it easier to plan moves more efficiently when I knew I was going to hit my targets, and that little bit of feedback kept my brain awake. In both docked and handheld mode, I felt like it was easier to make Red do what I wanted, thanks to your aim snapping to enemies, and, surprisingly, a little bit of vibration in the Joy-Con whenever I planned a new move. On the Switch, it feels less fiddly overall. In practice, at least on the PC version, that design usually led to me pausing time, hitting a bunch of enemies with the same move over and over, and then running around until my moves recharged. ![]() In theory, that sounds like an interesting puzzle for combat. Using the Transistor, you can fight the Process using a variety of attacks, and also by pausing time to plan out what you want to do and executing it faster than your enemies can respond. You’re on a quest to figure out how to get your voice and his body back as the city you both live in is being destroyed by something called The Process. Plus, her boyfriend has been trapped in a sword shaped like a giant USB stick called the Transistor. In Transistor, you play as Red, a singer who has lost her voice. ![]()
