About Creeper World IXE

Creeper World IXE is a real-time strategy game in the Creeper World franchise with groundbreaking pixel-level simulation. Command a squad of ships, coordinate your tactics, and fight back the alien menace known as "The Creeper," an all-consuming fluid enemy that has already devoured thousands of colonies.Your mission: stop the Creeper's endless advance or all life in the universe will perish. Unlike previous encounters, humanity now possesses a technological advantage that you can harness not only to survive, but to dominate the galaxy.
In Creeper World IXE you will liberate and explore hundreds of worlds in this real-time strategy game where the enemy is a fluid and every pixel of the terrain is simulated. Terraform through dozens of terrain types to use gravity and nature against the enemy. Bring awesome new weapons to use against chambers of compressed Creeper that explode outwards with ripple and wave mechanics.
Combine sand, particle, and creeper fluid simulations to open up new strategies and threats. Bring multi-weapon units to a dynamic battlefield as you explore worlds for secrets of the Creeper. Gain experience from your victories and unlock new and amazing technologies to help in your fight.
Create and play custom maps with new and original units made by the community or yourself! 2D-pixel graphics are married with a detailed and robust custom map and unit creation system, so nearly anyone with an idea can make a unit or a mission and share it with others. Use built-in control modules, or craft your own with robust built-in RPL scripting.
The Creeper is an ancient fluid-like enemy that relentlessly spreads across terra-formable terrain; engulfing and destroying anything that crosses its path. With sufficient firepower, you can push back the Creeper. But, in most cases it cannot be killed entirely by simply shooting at it. It is a foe that constantly regenerates through Creeper Emitters in its never-ending goal of consuming all living matter.
The only way to stop the creeper is to find and destroy the emitters and destroy the IXE Cores on each planet. Only by finding all of the cores and activating them simultaneously will The Creeper be destroyed and the planet saved. Achieving this goal will be no easy task. Command your squad of ships carefully.
Explore each planet while making sure you hold your ground. Locate, activate and destroy the IXE Cores. As easy as this might seem, at first glance, The Creeper will constantly push to thwart your efforts and attack in surprising ways to throw you off balance. Keep a cool head, be prepared, and use the environment to your advantage. That is the key to your success.
  • Embark on story and campaign missions as you fend off the Creeper for galactic domination
  • Sand physics terrain where every pixel is simulated allowing the use of gravity and terrain as part of your strategy
  • Enhanced Creeper fluid simulation with waves creating new Creeper behavior
  • Particle system for new and greater threats
  • Use terrain chemistry and terraforming to gain the advantage over your enemy
  • Extensive custom unit support with scripting where the community can craft their units, missions and control modules.
  • Online map database for endless fun and new challenges

Coming from CW3&4, playing this for the story felt like a chore.

Enjoyed following and playing the Creeper World games. But to see the use of ai in any form puts a sour taste on all of it...

You took a perfectly functional game and you put AI in it. Specifically voice AI, which is literally stealing work from human voice artists.

I have a mixed opinion. I can't give a neutral review, so take that with a grain of salt Pros: Fun gameplay Resource mixing leading to interesting problem solving Ships are fun and a good mix-up from static-based defenses Missions are generally interesting Some fun portal mechanics Cons: AI used for voiceovers - I understand why the decision was made, but please do not do this in the future. Find some VAs and use them instead Ship variety is slightly lacking. Would like a handful more ship types, and maybe a really big ship Story was a little faster than I would have liked, clocking in at about 20 hours, though a lot of that was just waiting for my ships to clear creeper or sitting on pause while i went and did something else Very final mission was a great attempt at adding some variety to the mechanics but just didn't land. Would prefer to see perhaps a larger mission area like in some of the older games Overall not bad, but some strengths, some weaknesses

Had to leave a review for this given how poor the scores are... (my first review ever having been on Steam since Half Life 2...). I've owned the game for a while and really enjoyed it - both as a single-player campaign which is well designed to lead you through the various systems, and also as a skirmish game with random maps (with good customisation available). If you've not played a Knuckle Cracker game before, this sits somewhere between a tower defence and an RTS, with the physics of the liquid enemy being a really fun element of gameplay. These are generally slow paced games where you move the 'front line' forward at your pace, but harder levels bring challenges like different enemy types and getting caught out by some of the liquid physics. I would probably rank this below Creeper World 3, but above Creeper World 4 (and, to be clear, I like both those games). As with both of those games, over time you'll probably look for harder and harder challenges, which the random map mode provides. I've never used the level editor (random mode is good enough), but that is a feature too. Thoroughly recommended if you enjoy thoughtful strategy games you can play at your own pace.
