• RAD October 16th Patch Update - 18 October 2019

  Hello RAD fans! We’re pleased to announce that the latest update for RAD on STEAM® has been released! This update includes some new items to allow your brave teenager to have more control over the mutations they receive in the Fallow, as well as seven new fun quirks that open up new playstyles! Fix for issue that would allow a "lockdown" room to be triggered when the player isn't in it Assist Features moved to Options screen for better visibility (used to be in Gameplay Options) Altars can be used multiple times now. Each time they are used the chance of an offering being rejected increases. The eyes turn red when it will reject all offerings 7 New Quirks added! Key Master: Increases the number of floppy disks that spawn Meat Lovers: More meat spawns. Similar to Shark Style but without the speed boost and no damage is done when the player stops moving Yeet Lovers: Increases the chances…

• RAD Patch 4 - 13 September 2019

  Hello RADlings! Here's your patch notes for the latest RAD update! • Chronobellum Hyper cooldown changed from 4 seconds to 20 seconds. Can now be used when half full • Altars can give a key when sacrificing a Diet Health Potion • Cathode Raider task to hit antenna only requires one hit instead of three • Soul Glow consumable now does double damage and damages more often • W2-2 overall map size has been slightly reduced to help shorten run length • Polyp Pal now has more health, will take damage from ground fire and will teleport back to the player if it falls off a cliff. The price has been adjusted as well • W1-2 has fewer islands and will now try to only generate 1 underground area. This should create far fewer incidents of maps where multiple undergrounds make it confusing to navigate the level • Symbiant targeting has been tuned • Multiple crash fixes, most notably when using Mutati…

• Wot I Think: RAD - 20 August 2019

  Developer: Double Fine Productions Publisher: Bandai Namco Entertainment Release: Out now On: Windows From: Steam , Humble Price: 16/$20/ 20 Wot do I think? I think the return of words like “rad”, “tubular”, and “bodacious” are less welcome echoes of the 1980s than the returning threat of nuclear Armageddon, for a start. As such, it’s with a particularly glowering eye that I turn to RAD, Double Fine’s new action game about bashing mutants in the face (or face-like area), whose title is pretty indicative of its attitude towards words like that. RAD is about plucky teenagers, braving the ruins of the ruins of civilisation to clonk monsters and reactivate ancient machines for the vague benefit of their fellow survivors. Yes, you read me right – the game’s world has suffered two apocalypses, although what could have been an interes…

• Double Fine's post-post-apocalyptic action rogue-like RAD gets an August release date - 20 May 2019

  Double Fine's 80s-hued, post-apocalyptic rogue-like, RAD, will be heading to Xbox One, PS4, PC and Switch (in a squeal of synthesisers, no doubt) on 20th August. RAD was initially unveiled back in March and is being directed by Lee Petty, who previously helmed Double Fine's bonce-swapping sci-fi platformer Headlander and delightful Matryoshka-doll-themed adventure Stacking. Petty's latest title casts players as a bat-wielding teenager, on a quest to restore life in a "post-post-apocalyptic world, where humanity has faced armageddon not once, but twice". That quest, explains Double Fine, leads players through an ever-changing radioactive wasteland known as the Fallow, but "the deeper you journey into unknown lands, the more you will expose yourself to gnarly toxins which will wreak havoc on your fragile human form."
