The topic of humanity’s journey into space in search of a way to survive is becoming increasingly popular. Games with this theme are becoming more frequent and the latest example is IXION.
Come and meet IXION, and how it will allow us to create a new human society in outer space.
Gallic Bulwark Studios (responsible for Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus, for example) is working hard to release its next game, IXION, on December 7.
It is a city building game, i.e. a management and strategy game in which the player has to create, manage, maintain and expand a city, and deals with the theme of humanity's escape into the universe.
The game seems to have huge potential for fans of this genre, as you can see from the following words and pictures that we provide.
IXION begins with the player leading an expedition through Deep Space in an effort to find a new planet that humans can call their "new home".
Earth is dying and with the goal of discovering new worlds, DOLOS Aerospace Engineering Corporation (AEC) has decided to launch the Tiqqun space station into deep space.
With the main objective of ensuring the survival of his crew and valuable cargo, the player will have to maintain, manage and improve the conditions of the Toqon space station, where the movement takes place.
To do this, you will have to control the integrity of the space station's infrastructure and manage its inhabitants. The goal is clear: humanity needs the expedition to survive.
The exploration component will also play an important role, not least because, when taking the game into outer space, there should always be a component to discover and explore the surrounding environments.
As in other games of this genre, players in IXION will have a variety of technologies to explore and investigate and, in this way, provide the best conditions for the space station and its inhabitants to survive.
The station will be highly customizable and with modular construction, and as unlocked technologies advance, the player will be able to add new units to the ship.
There is, as I mentioned, a large variety of units that can be installed in Toqoun, ranging from landing berths, food-breeding facilities, scientific laboratories and solar energy systems, among many others...
But pay attention, if there's one thing that can't be missed, it's energy. Each unit consumes energy...
According to Bulwark Studios, Ixiom will also have a randomized event system, derived from the game's narrative, that will test players' ability to respond and respond quickly.
IXION is scheduled to launch for PC on December 7 this year.
