    As an original 80s gamer, Rad Rodgers hits all the happy places. It has elements of the perfect classic platformer, sidelong references to my favorite old games, but still has the advantages of a modern, original game. Rad Rodgers is fantastically fun, and I’m looking forward to adding the next episode to my collection.

    Rad Rodgers is a tautly constructed, well-paced game that doesn't outstay its welcome. Although I grew tired of the Pixelverse gimmick and wasn't always on board with the game's humor, I enjoyed its vibrant art, action and level design. Whether you're a platforming wizard or just a casual fan on the genre, Rad Rodgers will keep you entertained.

    New mechanics, some tweaks to the level design, and more unique enemy AI would go a long way to making this one of those games you absolutely need to check out.

    Rad Rodgers World One is a charming experience for the older gamers that enjoyed the classic 2D platformers of the 90's with a great visual quality but a very short length.

    At the end of the day, Rad Rodgers is a fine game that does what it sets out to do fairly successfully, it’s just that what it sets out to do isn’t anything terribly unique or special. The platforming is functional, but fails to introduce anything particularly memorable or engaging. The combat is fun, but simple, and the enemies do little more than die with a satisfying pop. Not every game needs to be groundbreaking or instantly classic, and there's nothing wrong with a game like this, that you can beat in a few pleasant lazy afternoons.

    With its humorous writing, nice level design, smooth gameplay and multiple references to classic games, Rad Rodgers: World One is a title that fans of the genre will surely enjoy, despite its lack of true innovation, short length and some performance issues on less powerful system configurations.

    Not So Rad
    Rad Rodgers World One is a 90s inspired 4 hour long 2d platformer where you of course play as rad Rodgers accompanied by dusty..
    You have a gun for shooting things, and dusties smarth mouth to keep oyu laughing…
    This game is full of crude humor, though there are parental controls to take care of this…
    But the humor of this game is probably the best part..
    The rest of this game just feels like one giant chore
    This game features 8 main levels, 3 optional pogo chasing levels, and a boss battle…
    And all 8 of these levels for the most part look and feel identical…
    there is no variety here which ultimately makes this game feel like the longest 4 hours of your life
    The goal of each level is to collect 4 shards to unlock a gate and move on..
    This game is at its best when it sticks to straight forward platforming…
    These moments of optional exploration with different guns and hidden homes fileld of smart talking creatures are the best..
    The platforming and shooting can feel satisfying..
    But when this game is bad its bad.. and its bad when it has you playing as dusty in hhis mini game of avoiding lasers and enemies to collect items to put a platform into the world or unlock and new path and the game is bad when wants to feel like more of a Metroidvania sending you in dozens of different directions trying to find these pieces…
    I wouldn’t have minded these moments as much though if levels actually felt or looked different from one another…
    They all feel and play the same….
    So these less than linear moments feel like an axiety filled drag rather than a new form of level to overcome…
    The level design here is just mediocre…
    Rad Rodgers: World One doesn’t have me excited for World Two and is probably a series Ill skip in the future
    I Give Rad Rodgers: World One

Poor performance. Some things are truly bad. The sad thing is that Slipgate studios (interceptor entertainment) failed on what’s supposed to be esencial in a platformer ,and that is the jumping, aiming and shooting mechanics. And for a game released on the 2010’s that is unforgivable.This game is poorly executed . Instead of the foul language, schoolyard jokes and bunch of useless characters they should have concentrated on what matters more. The last levels are endless and absurdly difficult.They just threw a bunch of mechanisms (laser totems and sawblades) for you to rage. It’s a rageathon.It’s not that you would not be able to finish it ,but you’ll have to be extremely patient to get to the end, and probably you’ll quit even before that.… Full Review »
