About Hexogin
In the year 2216 an AI equipped vessel was created and embarked on a journey to a potentially habitable planet. Its primary objective was to terraform and pre-establish a settlement for humans on the 4th planet in the Vega star system, over 25 light years from Earth.
The ship took 41 years to arrive at Vega 4. Upon reaching the planet the AI determined that it could be terraformed and a signal was transmitted back to Earth to send a colony ship to arrive 200 years later.
Following the terraforming activity, the AI’s directives were overwritten and it began to develop weapons technology. It spread over the entire planet in an effort to prevent humanity from inhabiting the planet. Terminals were constructed to control the weapons and defenses, and to store resources and power.
Unknowingly to the AI, another AI subroutine activated in one of the terminals. Completely independent from the central, corrupted AI, this new entity had a new objective: to ensure that mankind safely reaches Vega 4. This subroutine is you and you must take back the planet at all costs."

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
This game fall short of my recommendation without multi-player. The campaign is just too dull, the story is barely visible, and every mission feels exactly the same. I have played it for thirteen hours, but honestly I was mostly bored throughout. The game never challenged me to change my strategy. It never gave me a compelling reason to complete the mission or campaign. And, each additional unlocked building simply decreased the tempo, which made the gameplay slower. This game is not bad. The mechanics are not poorly implemented. The graphics and sound are passable. And, you can certainly pass the time with this game, as I did. I played this on an ubuntu linux desktop computer, with a keyboard and mouse. This game does not let you re-bind keys (that is a real failing of the UI), and the game does not let you play with only the mouse. The game takes up 225 MBs of diskspace, and it uses the Unity Game Engine.9 found this helpful
Okay but wait for it to be on sale. The only real problem I'm having is the UI. Very clunky.1 found this helpful
Basic, ugly and boring. Simply didn't draw me in. The fluff is pretty minimalist, but it is there, so bonus for that I guess, but the game play in the few levels I tried was lackluster, and uninspired. It all seems to work just fine, so if you want to try iit for yourself I wouldn't say it was a bad move, but I can't recommend it.
Very nice campaign. It gradually introduces you new tech by each mission. You have 4 difficulties to choose from. Completing a mission marks it completed for the easier difficulties also. Very few games implement the difficulties as perfectly. There are some annoying bugs. The texts were overlapping by default, until I managed to set the UI scale to minimum (0.5). Even with that the help/controls page is only partly visible. One mission I played with easy difficulty didn't register at all. Slightly buggy, but nice campaign.
Has its flaws, but is a decent game.
Alpha/Beta tester. In typical Infinity Loop fashion, this is a lovely simple game that doesn't demand too much out of you to enjoy it. What all games should be. Further more, it has a very powerful level and campaign editor!
