Perhaps the most common (and dispensable) soldier type in Dr. Killemoff’s army, the Radiation Rangers arrive on the scene of Tromaville to commence pollution-spreading operations!


(Note: the above “army” of Radiation Rangers comes from a testing build of the game and DOES NOT represent an actual part of a level in-game)

First off, here’s some concept art of the common Smogulan enemy drawn by our Art Director, Xander Arnot!


Alone, a single Radiation Ranger isn’t much of a threat, since, in terms of the game, regular Radiation Rangers can only throw punches–albeit very consistently and in quick succession!


Rarely will you find a Radiation Ranger on their own! It’s all about strength in numbers! And if there’s too many “Rad” Rangers to boot, even a Toxic Crusader may find themselves in a heap of trouble!


Not only can Radiation Rangers throw hands, they can also throw Grossolium barrels! These vats of toxic waste are freshly deployed from Dr. Killemoff’s forces, and, when hitting the ground, they’ll release the Grossolium stored within. If you’re a normal civilian, RUN AWAY! But if you’re a Toxic Crusader, there’s nothing to fear! Standing on top of the spilled Grossolium will increase your “Rad Meter,” which can help you activate “Rad Mode” faster to dish out even more pain against the Smogulan grunts!


You’ll also find normal Radiation Rangers supporting higher ranked Smogulan forces, such as the likes of Speed (SPD) Rangers and Burning Rangers! That said, it’s recommended you take down the normal Radiation Rangers first before tackling their superiors!


We’re excited to share more with you as we continue along with development!
