New Recursion Mode Announced For Transistor

In a new PlayStation Blog post it has been revealed that upcoming PSN game Transistor will have a new mode added to the game after the player completes it.

 

Speaking out on the blog post, Greg Kasavin of Supergiant Games described the new mode titled Recursion Mode:

 

“Recursion mode is unlocked after you finish Transistor’s story. You’ll then have the option to recurse through the experience, retaining your progression data — notably, your User Level and all the Transistor functions you’ve unlocked. This immediately opens up a lot of new gameplay as you’ll be discovering new function combinations all the way through your initial play-through of the game. You’ll also find some new surprises (that word again) in the content itself the second time around. Most notably, the composition of enemy forces you’ll encounter will be different — and it’ll be different just about every time you play. This means you can really sink your teeth into the core gameplay if, as we hope, you’ve taken a liking to it by the end of the game.”

 

Supergiant Games’ last title Bastion had a similar approach to allow players to continue playing the game with their completed game data to experience Bastion from a different perspective. Given the success of Transistor developer’s last game it seems to be a formula that players enjoy.

 

Transistor will be released May 20th on the PlayStation Store for the PlayStation 4 and is priced at $19.99.
