* BalefulPolymorph: While the Remade never seem to complain about their new bodies other characters will be less kind. The final area of the game, however, can transform helpful mutations into duds that'll do next to zero damage and have no benefits to the player.

* TerrainSculpting: As you progress and activate "respirators" plants will spontaneously grow in the area. The

* SnakePeople: The "Cobruh" exo mutation turns your head into a cobra that allows you to strike at mutants from a distance.

* FlamingSkulls: One mutation has your head converted to a skull with green flames running over it.

* FinalDeath: As with most Roguelikes each character will only get one life. You can deposit money for future runs and unlocks also pass over.

Set in a world where the apocalypse happened twice a small band of survivors are running low on the power that sustains their small population. The only solution available is to send off a cavalcade of young would-be savours into the hard unforgiving landscape, to recover power sources and keep their community alive. To facilitate this the elder transforms each young hero to convert the deadly titular "Rads" into useful mutations.

* AbnormalAmmo: Depending on the mutations the player unlocks could be anything from physic energy, eggs or even the character's own arm.

* NinetyPercentOfYourBrain: The flavor text for the Chronobellum mutation references this trope as it explains that your new [[MyBrainIsBig enlarged brain]] makes your 10% now 50% relative to most other people, meaning you can do "quantum shit" with your mind.

* Shows damage: At critical health the player character starts dripping blood and hobbles when they walk.

* WeaponsThatSuck: One mutation spawns a mouth the player can throw on the floor. It'll suck up enemies and projectiles.

* HyperactiveMetabolism: Eating raw stakes off the ground will heal you a single piece of health. Sugary drinks will heal between 1-3 hearts while something that looks like alcohol will give a slow regeneration effect.

* AttackDrone: One of the Artifacts spawns a retro pixel space-ship that shoots enemies independently of the player.

* DoubleUnlock: As you defeat enemies through your runs you'll unlock new mutations, of course, you've still got to actually find these new unlocks in the randomly generated world.

* Fartillery: Another mutation will have the player expel a ring of gas that'll destroy any projectiles. It's also highly flammable so may be more trouble than it's worth.

* WeirdCurrency: Trade throughout the game is handed with media formats. Cassette tapes are the standard nomination, CDs are worth more than cassettes, while Floppy discs are used to unlock chests and doors.

* DieChairDie: Crates, ruined cars, fridges and even whole skeletons litter the landscape; so of which will house currency or healing items.

* BioPunk: Given the idea of mutating various parts of your body this is pretty much a given.
* Body Horror: The way the character can mutate can be very extreme from protruding brains, tails, wings, to having their whole bottom half transformed into spider legs or into a bull. Returning to town will result in various characters commenting on your new appearance.
