Deal | With 93% positive reviews, this action RPG is back to its lowest price on Steam, at 85% off

Available on Steam since May 20, 2014, Transistor is an action RPG developed by Supergiant Games, the creators behind Hades. Highly rated on Steam, with 93% positive ratings out of more than 31,000 reviews, it is currently 85% off until April 28, 2026. This means that it is available for $2.99 instead of $19.99.

In this game, which takes place in a futuristic world, you play as Red, a singer living in Cloudbank. However, she and a young man are attacked by the Camerata, a secret and powerful organization. During this attack, Red loses her voice, and the man’s spirit is transferred into a sword named Transistor. 

As a result, his spirit will guide you throughout your adventure and will allow you to uncover all the secrets of this world. But that’s not all, because as you progress, you’ll also have to lead battles and be strategic. Indeed, there are many skills available, and you'll need to create a custom build to defeat each opponent and boss.

Therefore, it has many strengths, particularly regarding the fights, where the system is quite complex. In addition, when you defeat enemies, you can absorb their skills and use them against other opponents. It’s also possible to plan your actions in advance. The graphics are appreciated, and the soundtrack is also popular among players. 

However, some critics point out that the game is short and the enemies are difficult to beat. The combat lacks variety, as you face the same enemies over and over. Several players also complain about Red's slow movement. Finally, according to SteamDB, Transistor was already available at this price during a similar discount on June 22, 2017.
