I first looked at Radiance when I heard that it was a TPP Simulator. Full disclosure here people, I had no freaking clue what that was, but it stands for thermal power plant simulator. When the heck did this actually become a genre of games? Anyway, this is not a top down strategy game like you may think. Yes, you are taking care of a power plant, but this plays more like a 3rd person adventure game and that is something I think is pretty cool.

Where Is Mr. Burns?

The whole setting for Radiance is the town's nuclear power plant where you are an employee. This is a rather old plant and you have to do what it takes to not just keep it running, but also avoid a nuclear meltdown! One thing that is pretty cool about this game, is that as you progress you can learn more “lore” about the power plant and discover why it is so rundown and so badly built and designed.

Fixing One Disaster At A Time

Radiance is played from the third person and our guy has pretty much free run of the power plant. There are many different missions that you need to do in order to keep the power plant running. You may have to locate, chase and capture radioactive rats! Take care of fellow employees who are dealing with radiation poisoning, find parts and then fix various problems. The strangest aspect of the game is looking after kids, there is a school field trip going on and kids can be running amuck all over the place! I thought this was kind of fun as it reminded me of the episode of The Simpsons where Bart visits the power plant. You always have a list of tasks to complete in the game and it is up to you to decide which ones need to be taken care of first.

The Plant May Be Rundown, But The Visuals Are Not

I think that there is no way you could not describe Radiance here as an “indie” game, but I think that the presentation of the game has more polish than you would think. Yes, it does have that indie kind of vibe to it all, but I think that if you were to see this running on a console like the Xbox One or PlayStation 4, you would not just say that it looks last-gen. I think they have kept things basic enough here, but not so much that the game is ugly or unappealing to look at. I have to say that I do hope that the modding community gets their hands on this and turns it into a Simpsons themed game.

I have played many games where you operate a power station, provide a city with electricity, or something like that.

However, Radiance is perhaps the first game where you are running a power plant, but it plays more like a 3rd person action and adventure game. It is certainly a very interesting game and a game that I think has the potential to be a whole lot of fun, well fun as long as you can keep a nuclear meltdown at bay of course!

Pros:

  • I like how they have made this power plant have some lore to it
  • Running around the power plant is pretty neat
  • There are many types of tasks for you to do in order to avoid a meltdown!
  • You get to decide which tasks are priority over others

Cons:

  • The game does appear to be well made, but I have seen a few “technical” issues
  • Will there be any reason to replay the game once it is beating?
