She is attacked by the robot force Process led by a group called The Camerata, but the attempt fails and they leave behind Transistor, a greatsword-like weapon that has absorbed the man that was last killed with it.
During the game Red is hunted down by the group and gets to wield the sword that has its own personality and acts like a companion.
She explores the environment, fighting enemies with a battle system that combines both real-time elements as well as a turn-based planning phase called Turn().
The turn-based approach is only available during battles where a part of the environment is fenced off.
During the planning phase different actions can be selected, both movement and attacks, filling up an action bar near the top of the screen.
When done they are executed one after the other.
It takes some time before the bar is recharged, but meanwhile real-time movement and actions are still possible.
Destroyed processes often leave behind cells that need to be picked up or enemies respawn.
The areas usually have walls that can be used as cover.
Through the battles Red gains experience used to acquire Functions, powers from the Process.
These can be equipped as one of four techniques and can also be used to enhance existing techniques.
A large portion of the gameplay is based around experimenting with different configurations of Functions.
Skills are divided into active, passive and upgrade slots and most are unlocked by reaching new levels.
Any function can be used for each of the three types of slots.
The active slot is the main power and it can be enhanced with one or more functions in an upgrade slot.
Passive slots are separate and provide passive effects.
By switching and combining functions in active and upgrade slots, a specific fighting style can be created.
This is encouraged in the game through the inspect command where p
About PC
PC gaming spans over four decades, from early DOS titles to today's massive Steam and digital-storefront libraries. Because "PC" covers everything from 1990s CD-ROM releases to current AAA titles, it's the single largest platform by game count on Gamevaro. For collectors, PC gaming splits into two very different worlds: physical big-box releases from the 1990s and 2000s (increasingly collectible, especially complete-in-box with original manuals and inserts) and the modern digital library, which Gamevaro tracks for portfolio and spending purposes even though it has no resale market.
Gamevaro tracks Transistor for PC with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Transistor to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PC release dates back to 2014.

Rarity & condition
No market sales have been tracked yet for Transistor — this could mean it rarely changes hands, or simply that Gamevaro hasn't recorded a sale for it yet. Be the first to add it to your collection.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
