'Transcripted' Goes Gold

by Rainier on Aug. 12, 2012 @ 1:56 a.m. PDT

Transcripted is a mixture of two incredibly addictive and vastly popular casual gaming genres: the dual-stick shooter and the match-three puzzle game.

History’s greatest battles have always been fought at scales too small for the human eye to see.

The microcosm is a violent, chaotic world, where the struggle for existence rages between countless organisms every second of every day… until now. The game has changed- a disease unlike anything in nature has recently been discovered infecting humans, and is spreading fast. This xeno pathogen has proven to be immune to traditional methods of treatment; only the most cutting edge weapons have any hope of stopping the disease before it reaches epidemic proportions. Enter the Nano Probe- a microscopic, experimental device controlled remotely from outside the body by a crack team of engineers and scientists. Like a miniscule master assassin, the Nano Probe is equipped with advanced prototypical weaponry from laser blasters to homing rockets to help it destroy its quarry.

Take control of the Nano Probe to annihilate this threat before it wipes humanity from the face of the earth.

"Transcripted finally turned out to be the unique, fun and beautiful game we had in mind," stated Alkemi Co-Founder Alain Puget.

“More tactical than your average shooter, more intense than your average puzzle-game, with Transcripted we hope, if not to establish a new genre, at least to provide a new and memorable experience for a wide range of players from casual to hardcore," said Alkemi Co-Founder Mickael Mouillé.

In Transcripted players take control of the Nano Probe, a microscopic apparatus used to combat disease. With the aid of a skill tree that improves ship equipment, health, shields and the Nano Probe’s arsenal of upgradeable weapons, players must successfully navigate through hordes of deadly pathogens to destroy the disease’s pseudo-DNA as it twines perilously on its endless path to infection. Along the way players must defeat gigantic boss colonies the pathogen has evolved with the sole purpose of stopping the Nano Probe from completing its mission. Difficulty levels of both puzzle and shooting segments can be adjusted independently to suit every play style, making Transcripted an incredibly replayable experience.
