Robot Alchemic Drive (RAD) is a love letter to giant robot fights, tokusatsu movies, and kaiju films. The voice acting is hilariously bad. The control scheme is atrocious. The plot line is nonsensical. In spite of all this, the game is one of my favorite games on the Playstation 2. I'd even go so far as to call it a hidden gem. The game is very self aware of how ridiculous it is and leans into that. The result is a game that will make you laugh and smile while you play it. It's not difficult, but it is fairly long at 15-20 hours. It's developed by Sandlot and published by Enix (prior to the Square-Enix merger), and this game's engine went on to power the Earth Defense Force games. Give this game a chance and it will work its way into your heart.
