Randomax

Randomax is a rogue-lite vertical-scrolling shoot-'em-up set in 2050 AD. You take on the Randomax Pirates, who have attacked and subjugated the Sepulch Space Archipelago, using a stock of misdelivered weapons and ammunition supplied by the mysterious shipping company ARGO EXPRESS. More than 70 types of randomly supplied equipment and weapons give you different ways to attack, defend and collect items.

Story and characters

Three women set out to fight the pirates. Erika, a self-proclaimed ARGO EXPRESS employee, offers them the company’s misdelivered weapons and ammunition.

• Cosmi: a hot-blooded policewoman in the Planetary Police Force who pilots the Blue Cosmic.
• Urara: a cyber idol and promising newcomer who is her own 9-meter-tall, 550-kilogram ship, the URARARA★Recital SP.
• Dariha: a dignified, outcast aristocrat who helps common folk and pilots the Barra 35T.
