Radix is very reminiscent of Descent: in a fighter you fly
through spacestations destroying various opponents. Contrary to Descent
however, Radix does not offer full 3D. You can alter your height but you
can't move in all directions - maybe to the joy of all players who found
Descent too difficult to control. The missions are varied and offer an
acceptable amount of fun. Radix is noteworthy of one fact: in the multiplayer
there was one little novelty: Capture The Flag. Briefings prior to the
missions are quite useful and should be read. The game gets quite hectic
because your ship, the Radix, is newly built and seems not to be fully
developed. It's constantly in motion which tends to lead to some collisions.
All in all not a bad game but quite frustrating through the control scheme
and your (badly built) ship. Update v2.0 (a.k.a. "Radix Remix") introduces some radical changes to the game: new graphics, new and improved visual effects, new levels, better controls, improved physics, and 2 new weapon upgrades. |
