About IXION

✦ AI summary

Manage a crippled space station and its desperate crew as you navigate the perils of space, maintain trust through impossible choices, and guide humanity toward a new home. Balance resource extraction, infrastructure development, and population morale while uncovering secrets among the stars and confronting threats from both inside and outside the Tiqqun.


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 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?

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.

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.

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…

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.

Awesome space builder. Large amount of content, nice graphics and great soundtrack. Decently difficult too
Recommended Sep 8, 2026
People say it's Frostpunk in space, and while there are some similarities, it's truly unique in its own way. I enjoyed every part of the story, the events, and the overall experience. I had to restart the game because I messed up my first playthrough, but I managed to finish it on my second try. I honestly wanted more, but the ending feels quite definitive. Definitely worth playing.

Recommended Sep 8, 2026
I liked it, a different take on city building and a sci-fi invironment. Good lenght game and good balanced difficulty.
Recommended Sep 8, 2026
Ixion is a fantastic story wrapped in deeply flawed but serviceable and enjoyable (once you figure them out) mechanics. The soundtrack and overall vibe of the game are really the standouts, though. Overall I'd recommend, although you DEFINITELY want to play on easy and be prepared to save-scum/look up guides for the science ship encounters, as they often don't make sense.
Recommended Sep 7, 2026
What a great game! The music is wonderful, first of all, but the gameplay is super interesting. Unlike most "city builders" this is very much story driven, with a definitive ending, but it didn't feel rushed, and still very replayable. The mechanics were fun, though I turned down the difficulty quite a bit to make it that way. Still, I quite enjoyed the challenge at that level, and it allowed me to play at my own pace and figure out the game as I went.
