What to study

Transistor's Turn() planning turns the arena floor into a worksheet: a dotted grid shows where Red can move, red arcs mark enemy ranges, and a curved line traces the planned path, so the player reads the whole turn before committing to it. The overlay keeps the art-deco arena fully visible underneath, which keeps planning feeling like part of the world rather than a separate menu. Frame at about 53.2s in the Launch Trailer (Steam). No trailer burn-in or caption on this frame.
