Radix is a cross between a first person shooter and a flight simulator. In 2049, aliens from another universe started entering ours through an opening called "the Void". The Radix is the most powerful space ship Earth has, and is the only hope of defeating the vastly more powerful alien invaders. The game can be viewed from the cockpit or from behind the ship. You can move in all three dimensions, accelerate, and see what's behind you with a rear camera. Some of the environment is destroyable, which can be achieved with a variety of weapons and bombs. A radar also allows you to see where enemies are located. The graphics are typical for first person shooters from the era, the soundtrack has a rock theme, and there is voice. There are 3 episodes in this game, with only the first episode playable in the shareware version.

Episode 1 - Theta 2
Episode 2 - Vengeance
Episode 3 - The Void
