There was a brief time when I thought about getting into speedrunning RAD, but the record at the time was something like six hours and it would have meant skipping all the dialogue like some kind of monster.

RAD seems like a really bad speedrun game unless there's some weird glitch that teleports you to the final boss.

it's fun if you can accept that they didn't have time to make a ton of unique fights so you kinda end up fighting the same three enemies for half the game. the core gameplay's unique enough that it can support itself even when it kinda starts getting too repetitive

one thing that's funny about the game is that they barely change the dialog for the three protags and since two of them are dudes, that means yui just. still gets tons of really awkward moments of romantic tension with ellen and nanao. and the ending basically writes her and nanao as hooking up as a couple.

It's a lot of fun, the one major problem it has is, as the colonel noted, a severe lack of enemy variety.

Also play it undubbed, the english dub is funny for 10 minutes and then quickly becomes unbearable.

There's also Remote Control Dandy for the PSX and Chōsōjū Mecha MG for the DS, both made by the same company (Sandlot). There are fan translations available as well.

Finally, they also made a Tetsujin-28 PS2 game, and the Earth Defense Force games

i mean it's as good as a game as they could make within their resources and if you play remote control dandy it's easy to see how many things about it actually are huge improvements off their previous attempt

I don't know why, but the future depicted in '80s and early '90s sci-fi anime like Dirty Pair and Space Adventure Cobra and Captain Tylor where it's always night and everything is glowing screens and neon colors (but not in the drat black-white-magenta-cyan CGA graphics palate all the modern "retro" poo poo uses) is my absolute favorite.

Yeah it's rad.

Akudama Drive is like that with an Osaka theme if you haven't seen it.

Balam in EDF5 was close enough to RAD that it made me sad that it wasn't closer.
