Transistor

An isometric action RPG set in the city of Cloudbank, where you play Red and fight robotic enemies with a talking sword-like weapon. You can act in real time or pause to plan a chain of moves. Abilities can be equipped as active powers or used to upgrade each other, which invites a lot of experimenting. Is it your kind of game?
