Lagrange Point

About

Lagrange Point is a sci-fi RPG set in a colonized solar system where things have gone very wrong. You play Gene, a pilot who crash-lands on a remote space colony after his team is attacked en route to investigate a biohazard crisis. The story unfolds across two large biospheres and a damaged satellite, blending exploration with turn-based combat as you search for a missing scientist and uncover what caused the colony’s collapse. Resource management and tactical battles against robotic enemies drive the survival-focused narrative. The game stands out for its moody, early-90s take on space horror, mixing claustrophobic environments with a slow-burn mystery. While its dated graphics and occasionally clunky mechanics won’t wow modern players, fans of niche RPGs or retro sci-fi might appreciate its atmospheric tension and deliberate pacing. Konami’s signature mix of action and strategy shines here, even if the title remains a footnote in their catalog.

Storyline

In the 22nd century, mankind has begun to emigrate into outer space. Three huge space colonies were constructed at a Lagrange point: the Isis Cluster; two artificial biospheres, named Land-1 and Land-2, and a satellite. In the year 0024 (55 years after the cluster was constructed), a biohazard outbreak occurred on Land 2. All attempts at contact were met with nothing but static. Now a research team led by their pilot, Gene, approaches Land-1. Upon arrival, the team was attacked by a group of robots and the shuttle exploded due to the damage during the battle, knocking Gene out immediately after. Gene then awakened in the medical centre of Isis City to find one of his team members fatally wounded. Said team member informs Gene that their goal was to find Stolte, a researcher at Land-2's Bio Research Lab, and Gene sets off to find him, wherever he is in Land-2.
