Rad
Rad is a 3D action rogue-like set in a post-post-apocalyptic world, where humanity has faced armageddon not once, but twice.
Rad is an adventure developed by Double Fine Productions, released 20 August 2019 on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC (Microsoft Windows).
What Rad is
Rad is an adventure game developed by Double Fine Productions and released in 2019. It was published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. It is available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on Unreal Engine 4.
The premise, in the publisher's words
In RAD, the fate of the world depends on you, your trusty bat, and whatever strange new abilities you gain as the world around you ravages your body — twisting and mutating you into something far less than human, but far more powerful. Playing as a teenage protagonist, it is here where you must venture into the Fallow — an ever-changing, radioactive wasteland filled with unknown and unspeakable creatures in the hopes you will find the solution to heal the world, and transform the cracked, barren landscape into a lush source of new life.
How it plays
It is played from a bird view / isometric perspective. Its themes are action. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component.
How it was received
Rad holds a critic score of 74 out of 100. That places it above 47% of the 7,530 rated adventure games in our database, which average 72. Games released in 2019 averaged 69, so it scored 5 points above the year average.
What it launched against
Rad launched on 20 August 2019, within three weeks of Control, GreedFall, Gears 5 and Blasphemous. It reviewed better than 1 of the 4. It arrived 6 years into the PlayStation 4's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: Control, GreedFall, Gears 5, Blasphemous.
