If you are looking for an RPG that features amazing music, a distinct world, and an isometric or top-down perspective, look no further Transistor. 

In this action RPG, the game follows Red, a famous singer just trying to make it another day in the densely populated urban city of Cloudbank. 

When Red is attacked by a robotic force known as the Process, she escapes, finding a great-sword weapon called the Transistor in the process. 

Using this weapon, players battle enemies in a combination of real-time combat and a frozen planning mode called Turn(). 

With Turn(), actions drain a bar, requiring a recharge in order for Red to attack again. Through winning battles, Transistor rewards players with new items, upgrades, and a handful of other progressive items known to the action RPG genre.
