It is the year 198X. Big hair is hot, and the war with the Soviets is colder than a refreshing glass of New Coke. Rad Raygun must travel the world fighting communist robots, and save the 1980′s by shooting his way through the decade in a totally fresh, expanded version of the original Xbox Live indie game.
Super Rad Raygun pits Rad against a whole new wave of deadly enemies and locations – from the Communist strongholds of the Far East to strategically insignificant islands off the South American coast. But chill out, because Rad has gnarly new weapons, upgrades, and a revamped gameplay engine to help him out.
Ultra sharp 144p resolution graphics and 4 unique shades of monochrome off-green bring Rad Raygun to life, as only 80′s mobile technology can.
Super Rad Raygun is a nod to video games and pop culture of the 1980s and pokes fun at the politics of that era. It is a trip down memory lane for retro enthusiasts, while also incorporating modern systems and play mechanics familiar to today’s gamer.
Indie developer TRU FUN Entertainment first launched their retro-inspired 2D platformer, Super Rad Raygun, on November 8, 2016 on Steam for PC, Mac, and Linux. After a friendly, mutual parting of ways, with publisher Rooster Teeth Games, TRU FUN Entertainment now looks to expand its player-base by re-launching Super Rad Raygun on new marketplaces and platforms.
First of all, Super Rad Raygun will continue to be available on Steam—complete with achievements and leaderboards. Secondly, as of Tuesday, March 20, Super Rad Raygun is available DRM-free on itch.io and GameJolt.com. And finally, Super Rad Raygun will be making its way to Xbox One in late 2018!
"We're delighted to bring Super Rad Raygun to a larger audience," says Chris Bryant, Co-founder/Game Developer for TRU FUN Entertainment. "Bringing our game to Xbox One, while simultaneously giving PC, Mac, and Linux players the freedom to enjoy Super Rad Raygun DRM free, is a win-win for everyone!"
