About Rad Rodgers - Radical Edition
The Story
Rad is a rambunctious but spirited young boy who maybe plays too many video games. After dozing off at the tail end of a long night of gaming, Rad awakens to find his dusty old console has turned itself back on. Suddenly a vortex emerges and he's sucked into his TV, where he finds himself the star in his very own video game adventure.Dusty is Rad's good-hearted but foul-mouthed, now-sentient game console. His clock speed isn't what it used to be, but what he lacks for in megahertz he makes up for with experience and attitude!
Rad & Dusty's adventure takes them through many dangerous stages of action-packed, humor-filled, hardcore platforming fun. This decaying jungle world has been infected by a fierce corruption, and it's up to the unlikely buddy-duo Rad and Dusty to save the jungle's inhabitants and restore the Elder Tree as guardian of the land.
Features
Weapons: Dusty arms Rad with a variety of radical bad-ass weaponry. The Bolt Blaster has unlimited ammo, is easy to use, and more than enough firepower to get the job done. The Phoenix Cannon shoots out a fiery bird whose wingspan lights enemies ablaze as it flies by.Sounds & Music: Composer Andrew Hulshult combined his years of musical experience (both performing and writing) with his passion for retro-style gaming to create an amazing and authentic soundtrack for the game complete with MIDI-inspired music... And synthesizers!
The Pixelverse: While Rad and Dusty are a great team, only Dusty can enter the electrified Pixelverse -- a dangerous spacetime-breaking region that exists behind the game world. Dusty enters the Pixelverse when necessary to repair glitches in the running game world, allowing both Rad & Dusty to continue their journey.
Classic Easter Eggs: The game features hard-to-find collectibles in sometimes even harder-to-find classic secret rooms. Use your precision platforming skills to collect 'em all.

✦ AI summary
Rad Rodgers has charming presentation with good level design and a humorous personality, but players are divided on execution. The controls receive mixed feedback ranging from terrible to decent, and the game is hampered by bugs, uneven pacing, and humor that doesn't always land, though some find it reminiscent of classic platformers like Conker's Bad Fur Day and worth playing on sale.
I remember really wanting to like this but forgot why I stopped playing- but now I remembered- the bugs. Way too many bugs. Completely ruins the game for me. It sucks because there IS. a good game in there but publisher doesn't seem to care. If the devs ever got a chance to polish this game I'm sure it would be fantastic.2 found this helpful
Developed by Slipgate Ironworks and published by HandyGames in collaboration with 3D Realms, Rad Rodgers: Radical Edition is a fast-paced action platformer that celebrates the golden age of 1990s gaming while refining its mechanics for a modern audience. Rather than simply imitating the classics that inspired it, the game blends old-school level design with polished visuals, smoother controls, and new gameplay features that make this edition the definitive version of Rad's adventure. From its colorful environments to its emphasis on exploration and hidden collectibles, the game immediately appeals to players who appreciate traditional side-scrolling platformers with a contemporary presentation. The adventure follows Rad, an energetic young gamer who unexpectedly finds himself transported into the world of his favorite video game. Accompanying him is Dusty, a sarcastic and highly capable sentient game console whose personality provides much of the game's humor. Together they set out to restore order to a world infected by corruption, battling bizarre enemies and overcoming dangerous obstacles along the way. The chemistry between the two protagonists is one of the game's strongest q…1 found this helpful
Part run n gun, part platformer, but mostly frustrating. Game looks and sounds good, but the controls feel pretty terrible most of the time.
I have two versions of this game for some reason. I played this version a few years ago. I guess I should go try out the year one version to see what the difference is.
[h1][u]Rad Rodgers Radical Edition | Review[/u][/h1] In this review, I’d like to share my personal experience with Rad Rodgers and talk about what I enjoyed and what I didn’t. [b]Please note that this review may contain some spoilers.[/b] Hopefully, my thoughts help you decide whether the game might be for you. [hr][/hr] [h2]Review[/h2] I completed Rad Rodgers in about 4 hours of playtime, and while the core idea and presentation have charm, the overall experience felt pretty mixed. The level design is genuinely nice and the game’s humor gives it personality, though it sometimes tries a bit too hard and the jokes don’t always land. The pacing also fluctuates quite a bit, making some sections feel engaging while others drag noticeably. On top of that, the flow of the gameplay often shifts from enjoyable action to more tedious moments, which made it hard for me to stay consistently motivated. As a whole, the game shows potential, but its execution often gets in the way of enjoying that potential consistently. [h3]What I Liked[/h3] [list] [*]Nice, well-crafted level design [*]Humorous presentation; the style is fun, even if it occasionally overreaches [*]Good visual style with v…
An otherwise decent platformer irreparably maimed by level-stopping bugs and incredibly unfunny jokes.
