About
Rad is a 2019 action rogue-like that stands out with its unique post-post-apocalyptic setting, where humanity has already survived the end of the world—twice. The game combines fast-paced 3D action gameplay with roguelike progression mechanics, creating an engaging experience that appeals to fans of challenging, replayable games. Its distinctive art style and premise give it personality despite a modest critical reception.
Running Rad is straightforward for most PC gamers, as it's an accessible title that doesn't demand cutting-edge hardware. An entry-level GPU with a benchmark score around 7924 will handle the game comfortably, while a CPU score of approximately 3185 meets the minimum threshold. You'll achieve solid FPS performance on older or budget graphics cards, making this an excellent benchmark title for testing lower-end GPU configurations.
With a rating of 62/100, Rad offers decent entertainment for action and roguelike fans, though it's not universally acclaimed. If you enjoy challenging gameplay loops and don't mind revisiting runs, it's worth trying, particularly as a lightweight title that won't stress your PC.
Performance profile
August 2019 release. Rad was built around the GTX 10-series / RX Vega era. Current-gen mid-range cards (RTX 4060 / RX 7600) are overkill at 1080p and handle 1440p Ultra comfortably.
Action titles like Rad reward high framerates for visual clarity during combat. A mid-range modern GPU at 1440p 60–120 FPS is the practical sweet spot; VRR (G-Sync/FreeSync) smooths out drops during heavy effects.
Mid-range territory. An RTX 3060 or RX 6700 XT delivers 60 FPS at 1080p High in Rad. For 1440p Ultra you'll want an RTX 4060 Ti / RX 7700 XT; 4K Ultra needs an RTX 4070 Ti or faster.
Storyline
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.
