Space..the final frontier - Indie Game Review: IXION - Do Recommend!

IXION combines city building, survival elements, and exploration into a thrilling space opera as you explore the stars. Propelled onwards through a difficult journey, you are the Administrator of the Tiqqun space station, charged with finding a new home for humanity. Keeping the station sound and flying will require a deft hand and strategic thinking. You are constantly pulled between maintaining hull integrity, bringing in new resources, and managing power consumption.

IXION is a new science fiction space opera, wrapped in a game where you need to manage your state of the art colony ship “Tiqqun”. To ensure the survival of humanity amidst the treacherous nature of space, and maybe explore the cosmos and find a new habitable planet for them to colonize. IXION starts off on a high note, with a Hollywood level production value for its visually stunning presentation that is sustained throughout the whole game. Being a space exploration enthusiast myself, I got goosebumps at the introduction sequence with its grand premise and a matching angelic musical score. It honestly felt like a proper Hollywood opener, and not one that would typically open a PC colony sim game.

Defeated, the Gideans managed to expel the enemy by activating the Obelisks, at the cost of their own lives. The Obelisks have been protecting the Galaxy for tens of thousands of years, but now that they have been deactivated, the Galaxy’s first line of defense has disappeared. The Armadian dread fleet is conquering sectors one by one, taking charge of the inhabitants along the way.
