Interesting, I was thinking the art style was nearly identical to Bastion and hence worth picking up, because it's awesome.Looks like a pretty generic art style compared to Bastion
And apparently the guy who did the voice of Rucks in Bastion is going to be the voice of the talking swordThis is where the gameplay takes a sharp left ? instead of an action-RPG, button-mashing maelstrom, Transistor incorporates turn-based and strategy mechanics. When the first major enemy appears, Red is able to pause the action and survey the battlefield, and she is allotted two moves in this stage. Red is allowed to roam free within a certain radius, and she can undo moves to test out certain strategies and attacks. The freeform tactical design lends itself to exploring all of Red's abilities and establishing combos, which deal more damage.
