In Ixion, the world is heading towards a destination that appears all too familiar. Years of global warming, resource farming, and ruin have turned humanity's gaze to the stars, searching for a fresh start. It sets the stage for the Dolos Corporation to launch a futuristic space ark called the Tycoon Station with plans of finding a new home. True to type, humanity blows up the moon when testing the station's Vohle engine.
Your job here is to manage that space station and find humanity a new home – lord knows we're not returning to our old one. This involves managing the station's infrastructure, exploring the solar system, and mining valuable resources to trade with others also looking to survive. You're going to have to research new technologies, unlock new areas within the station, and keep the power flowing if you want to keep the people of your colony alive.
Ixion invites plenty of comparisons to Frostpunk. From weighing up if your hull's integrity will hold up during a jump through space to deciding if the hospital has enough power to sustain itself while you build something else, you're faced with plenty of tricky decisions to mull over.
