Transcripted

About

Transcripted throws you into a chaotic arena where you juggle twin-stick shooter action with match-3 puzzles. You control a ship that blasts enemies while rearranging colored orbs to form matches. The twist is your shots and puzzle moves directly impact the battlefield creating a frantic loop of destruction and strategy. It's fast it's frantic and it's got a weird sci-fi story holding it all together. The game's biggest hook is how it knots shooting and puzzle mechanics into one tight system. While not everyone's cup of tea the 2012 release has developed a cult following for its bold approach. Short levels keep things zipping along though the learning curve might trip some players. It’s a wild ride that leans into its quirks with both barrels.
