    Rad could and should become one of 2019's greatest sleeper hits.

    RAD brings us back to the 80s and 90s of the future, where the mutation is still good and it grants you the most insane powers that you can imagine. Can you utilize them to bring the power back to the people who already suffered the apocalypse twice? It's up to you to never surrender, in this imaginative and weird roguelike that is clearly not fine, but double the fine! Or just play it while waiting for Psychonauts 2, that should work fine as well.

    A highly customizable rogue-lite with a charming aesthetic flair, RAD lives up to its name.

    A good and classic roguelike, enriched by 3D graphic, humour, 80’s style and a refined gameplay. The wonderful synth ost, the good narrative and the melee core mechanics distinguish RAD from other similar games. It needs to increase its content, although everything right now is very balanced.

    RAD conquered us with its mix of hack n slash, rogue-like and charming post-apocalyptic world... and fans of the 80s will appreciate it even more.

    RAD is deeper and more challenging than it looks, making it a super fun post-apocalyptic adventure that's always fresh.

    RAD is a post apocalyptic roguelike, with an unique power up system that has the same pro and cons.

    A nice roguelike by Double Fine Productions, even if it’s a bit shallow.

    RAD is a good time, and it overcame a lot of my initial reservations. I just wish it wasn’t so built on chance, and the all-too-1980s misery of playing through the same parts dozens of times to get to the bits I want.

    Mediocre little game. The last world is a clusterf_ck of colors, you can barely see projectiles or the enemies approaching towards you, andMediocre little game. The last world is a clusterf_ck of colors, you can barely see projectiles or the enemies approaching towards you, and you end up getting hit, and probably die. Awful environment, also very short.… Full Review »
