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.
What choices will you make when confronted with impending disaster? What will you discover out there in the dark?
My Experience:
So far, I have seen alot of space indie games, some can go from very silly to highly detailed, but this one is very detailed, sometime in the future. This may be what the end could be like, but who knows?
Now I don't play many builder games besides FrostPunk
CIV series and The Wandering Village. IXION takes it to the point that if you use alot of energy, there will be a blackout or if you don't have enough food, outposts workers will respond by revolting against you!
What I like:
Well-detailed environment, complete view of the space station and the galaxy
Excellent soundtracks and sound design
Quality is at the AAA title
The tutorial is straightforward
What other people that had early access to this game love how it's fully finished and like the gameplay
What I didn't like:
Honestly, there aren't any bad things about this game
