RAD is a roguelike action game created made by double fine productions the guys who made well-known games such as psychonauts, grim fandango, broken age brutal legend, costume quest, and much more I would list but we'll be here forever so let's move on. The plot of this game is that due to a double Apocalypse, natural resources have become scarce, and the elder of the settlement needs someone to venture out and find new resources to survive, everyone in the settlement refuses except one which is the player. The player decided to burden this task and is given a metal bat which will be your main weapon and so the player character heads out in the post-apocalyptic wasteland with the bat in hand the player in search of new resources to survive while dealing with many mutated abominations along the way. The gameplay is simple like I say this is a roguelike a bit like the binding of Isaac due to the upgrades your character get or in this case, mutations will affect how your character looks and a nice little touch that they did the NPCs made comments on your character's mutations it's a nice level of detail that they did to this game but speaking mutation lets go over the main mechanic of this game the mutations in this game there a bar next to your character's health is the RAD meter when killing enemies or eating certain items your RAD meter goes up and when the meter is full your will level up and gain a random mutation, the mutation can effect stem from attack, speed, health, range, and resistance, etc you can also get mutation by finding these mini-dungeons at the game level the same thing applies to artifacts you find in the game's world but the main difference that you can't have the same type of artifact on your character while mutation is permanent until you'll die. Your main goal for each level to find and activate a certain amount of pillars so it unlocks your way to the boss room during that time you'll explore the current landscape getting mutation and artifacts, finding secrets to get more loot, and go to shops buy healing items and keys for a locked chest and areas also when you die depending on how well you do in during your run you'll be rewarded with perks of this that you can give during the start another thing I would like is the hints and pieces of lore depending on which area you go the narrator will give you some info and what happened during the double Apocalypse finally I would it satisfying when you kill multiple people find a health item(which is in form of meat) and a bunch of currency an announcer would say some sick slang like "groovy, fast cash or killer" IDK I like that the fact they done that props for the VA. The graphics of this game is amazing the whole game has this punk 80s aesthetic even the soundtrack that aesthetics comprises of rock and synths I sometimes catch myself bobbing my head towards the beat of the soundtrack. Now we got all the positives of this game away let's go over the negatives.

Overall RAD is a game you'll play probably as a time waster if like rogue-like games with an 80s aesthetic then RAD is the game for you

A nick pick of the game is depth perception of this game is that has part former elements to it and some cases I have to hit something but I always end of falling off of a cliff and missing by one mile
