Game Description

Robot Alchemic Drive (R.A.D.) puts you in control of towering Anime-style robots. With a unique story mode revolving around the Nectar Barrier crisis, a lethal interstellar radioactivity that has trapped Humankind on earth, you will follow the exploits of young mech warrrios, Yui, Ryu and Naoto.

All character designs are by Toshihiro Kawamoto, innovative artist of "Cowboy Bebop."
