6About IXION
NEW GAME FROM THE DEVELOPER. . About the Game. 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. IXION is a city-builder that requires you to be vigilant, to constantly assess and reassess, to learn and adapt. If you and your crew are to endure, you must confront the perils of space, while at the same time uncovering its secrets and extracting its resources. Danger, however, will come from within as well as without; you’ll need to establish, maintain and develop the Tiqqun’s infrastructure while managing the station’s population, deciding how best to answer their pleas so as to maintain their trust in you and the mission. There are no simple solutions; your actions will have repercussions, now or further down the line. How you deal with those repercussions will be the difference between survival and extinction. A population to manage, survivors to find, cryopods to recover... Maintain your crew's trust in

This is an engrossing game, but the campaign is deeply unforgiving
This is an engrossing game, but the campaign is deeply unforgiving. Be prepared to play through the latter stages several times as you laboriously fight with the opaque logistics, with buildings that refuse to destruct fast enough so you can move them to meet some absurd new goal and with the sense that all your micromanagement and planning is going nowhere because there is no endgame where you finally get to build what you want the way you want. I died because all the missiles I was successfully dodging caught up to me at once when the next objective forced me to stop. I died because the game refused to transfer resources effectively which cascaded into mass starvation. I died because the game won't let you transfer single crew members, so I had to build colony training sites in every sector at an endgame point where the delays it caused where fatal. In a game where it may take several hours to reach a point where the objectives are clear, that's inexcusably capricious. edit: Okay, that last one is on me. Apparently you can transfer a specific number of crew by typing into the field...but this is never explained and there's no indication on hover that there's even a field there to input into, so UX fail instead. Still not sad to have this one behind me.

Yes, this game is hard
Yes, this game is hard. There are a lot of city builder type games where you can just turn your brain off, but this is not one of them. You may even have to save scum or restart from an earlier chapter. But once you figure out how the game works and how to win... man, it's rewarding. I give it a thumbs up. Give it a shot if you're a fan of city builder type games and you're okay with a challenge.
