About Retix

Retix is a free multiplayer shooter that runs in a browser tab. It is made and operated by retix, an independent developer based in South Korea.

What Retix is

A 3/4-perspective 2D multiplayer shooter, played in a browser with no download, no launcher and no install step. Four modes run on six maps: Team Deathmatch, Free For All, Domination and a fifty-player Battle Royale. Eight classes and twelve weapons are available, and the classes are unlocked from the first match.

Everything that decides a match happens on the server. The browser predicts movement so controls feel immediate. Damage and hits are resolved on the server. Reload timing and weapon stats stay there too, leaving a modified client nothing useful to change.

The game supports nine languages. English, Korean and Japanese came first. Simplified Chinese, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese are available too. German, French and Russian complete the list.

What is in the game

Retix depicts combat between small stylised characters drawn in flat colour. There is no blood, gore or dismemberment. Weapons, people, places and events are fictional. Characters that lose all their health fall over and respawn.

The game is not directed at children and is not designed or marketed for them. There is no voice chat and no text chat. Players can choose a display name, a clan name and a custom character skin, and every one of those can be reported in-game if it is offensive.

Who operates it

Retix is operated by retix, based in South Korea. An independent project, not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by any other game, publisher or platform.

How it is built

The client is a browser application. The match server is authoritative and runs the simulation for every player in a room. A separate service owns accounts, gold, unlocks and upgrades, and the two are kept apart on purpose: the match server can report what happened but has no way to name a reward.
