  RAD October 16th Patch Update

  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 of getting ranged mutations My Buddy: Increases the chances of "buddy" mutations (Death Roe, Teeny Bopper, Suck Face, Home Slice) and "buddy" items (Polyp Pal, Laser Pal) Cheapskate: Lowers prices in all shops Unstable: Taking damage will result in one of your exo mutations randomly changing Devolution: The player starts with a full assortment of mutations. Over time, mutations are randomly taken away until the player is left with just their bat. New internal mutations can be gained but no new external mutation can be gained New items and consumables - new mutation-based items can appear in the world. Discover them and figure out what they do! New weather patterns and world tiles added to the variation of the Fallow! Fixed an issue with the secret mutation that caused it to lose its upgrade when loading a new level

  RAD Patch 4

  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 Mutation Swapper machines • Mutation Leveler and Mutation Swapper machines no longer take health when used • Anti-aliasing option added to Graphics Options. This allows the player to choose between Temporal (default, what the game has been using the entire time), FXAA or None. This is mostly for PC and Switch players who may not like the "softness" that Temporal AA creates • Vampiric Hits can no longer be triggered by hitting Death Roe babies • Daily Challenge scoring has been adjusted so that scores are generally lower. The score cap was being hit too often (9999 on leaderboards). Now it should be nearly impossible to hit the cap without cheating • Enemies affected by Chronobellum Freeze can now take damage • Death Roe babies are not affected by Chronobellum Freeze • Chronobellum Freeze cooldown is now 3x longer. However it can be activated while the resource is half full now • Mutation cooldowns are now properly affected by Chronobellum • High ground pound does 2 points of damage instead of 1. It still has a wider AoE • Warhead combos now have a proper cooldown • The level seed number has...

  Wot I Think: RAD

  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 interesting bit of worldbuilding is largely a device for shoehorning in the aforementioned 1980s, alongside more advanced technology.
