Cliax Codec

Cliax Codec is an adventure about protecting the Cliax Crystal, a powerful gemstone that could plunge the world into chaos if it falls into the wrong hands. As a member of the Cliax Coalition, you fight robots and solve puzzles across dangerous dungeons, switching between top-down and third-person perspectives in designated areas. Each perspective offers different moves, and you need to master both to progress.

Two perspectives

Top-down combat lets you take on large groups of enemies in bullet-hell-style encounters. In third-person, you can jump and explore areas vertically. Maddex's technologies also play a part as you make your way through the dungeons.

Weapons and allies

You start with a gun and a plasma whip. As you progress, more members of the Cliax Coalition join you, each with a distinct gun and characteristics. You can upgrade your plasma whip and shield with modules from the shop, which grant new abilities.

Stages and secrets

The game has 24 stages across 6 chapters and a dozen bosses, from guardian robots to criminal masterminds. You can find secret exits to unlock more stages, which may offer further rewards. Scattered diary pages belonging to a former Maddex employee reveal more about the world.
