An intergalactic sci-fi city-builder may seem incredibly complex, but we’ve seen the likes of Aven Colony succeed in the past, so why can’t IXION?
In fact, with nearly 14,000 reviews on Steam alone, generating a ‘Mostly Positive’ score on average, it’s clear that Bulwark Studios and Kasedo Games are onto something here. Read on to find out more!
Nobody Can Hear You Cry…
Space is, for want of a better word, totally scary. Especially in IXION (now available on Xbox, PlayStation and PC), it’s an unforgiving frontier that, when it comes to building a network of habitats and facilities as you will be doing in the game, will push back against you at any opportunity.
However, Earth is collapsing, and as Administrator of DOLOS A.E.C., you must build a cutting-edge spaceship capable of seeing the human race survive long enough to find a new home.
And therefore IXION is a case of recruiting scientists, building structures and managing your resources in order to keep your population alive, whilst also expanding the frontiers of your knowledge by sending out expeditions into the great, vast unknown.
Of course, you’ll need to prepare for whatever space throws at you, be it hull breaches, electrical fires and more.
IXION Key Features
- In DOLOS We Trust – A population to manage, survivors to find, cryopods to recover… Maintain your crew’s trust in the corporation that started this venture, or face failure and mutiny. Six sectors can be unlocked within the station, each able to house more population, support new jobs, and provide opportunity to monitor the crew with the Data Listening System. Will you bring hope to the people?
- Choices In the Dark – Who said DOLOS was the only faction to escape the fate of the Earth? Brush up against other pockets of survivors, navigate on from the failures and wrecks of others… IXION will lead the player through gripping chapters of story, where new threats and opportunities are presented, all in aid of reaching the final destination, a new home.
- Frontier Academia – DOLOS are famed for their innovative technology, their scientists, but the Tiqqun now finds itself cut off. Find what resources you can, research what you do not have. Find new ways to provide for your settlement, construct new buildings to create what’s needed. Modify the Tiqqun station, improve it, forge ahead in this odyssey.
- Occupational Hazards – Space is a dangerous place. Hull breaches, overloaded power supplies, electrical fires… It is up to you to manage these risks, deal with emergencies, create backup power solutions, and enable Extra Vehicular Activity…
- Stellar Exploration – There are whole new stellar maps to explore. Send out probes to reveal what’s hidden, create mining and cargo ships to find resources, commission science expeditions to discover the secrets and threats you’ll find out there in space. Encounter other survivors and bring them into the fold of your mission, objective – survive.

IXION Description
With Earth on the brink of ecosystemic collapse, DOLOS A.E.C. leads efforts to find a new home for the human race. Whether by chance or fate, its prototype space station, the Tiqqun, finds itself cast adrift, a disintegrating ark upon which the remnants of humanity must find sanctuary – and you, Administrator, are at its helm.
