About Radix: Beyond the Void

Radix: Beyond the Void is structured around a series of missions where the player pilots a starfighter. This vessel is equipped with various weapons capable of targeting single mechanized enemies or affecting wider areas with explosive force.

The narrative context involves a 22nd-century peace that allowed for expanded space exploration. This era was disrupted when an alien force, emerging from a spatial anomaly called The Void, attacked a human colony ship and its ten thousand passengers. In response, the specialized Radix fighter was developed to traverse this anomaly and confront the threat.

From a gameplay perspective, it functions as a shooter with a 2.5D presentation. The environment itself offers some degree of destructibility alongside the combat against automated foes.
