Critic Reviews
· Apr 28, 2025 Reviewed on PS5Read full review- The immersive atmosphere, engaging story, and wide gameplay scope ensure that there is never a dull moment on the Tiqqun. The game’s relatively high difficulty level does mean that it’s not too welcoming for newcomers and the lack of replayability also hurts the game’s appeal somewhat, but if you can look past that, then it’s hard not to become engrossed with saving humanity.
SebastiaanRaats · Apr 29, 2023 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Overall, IXION offers nothing new. Players will get through the good ol’ survival and management mechanics that we have all seen around. However, it is still addictive due to the competent combination of those elements as well as interesting execution and catchy aesthetics.
Taoshi · Jan 30, 2023 Reviewed on PCRead full review - I liked spending time in Ixion’s world, in Ixion’s story. I like space disaster stories. Eventually, I was happy to bump myself down to the ‘story’ difficulty, because I didn’t want to miss out. I like looking at it, and I like listening to it. I plan to return to Ixion, to once again embrace sweet failure.
Jaina Hill · Dec 28, 2022 Reviewed on PCRead full review - IXION can be extremely overwhelming and punishes players for not having nearly precognition levels of foresight. Still, once these roadblocks are understood and avoided, the game can become an excellent and welcome challenge. IXION is defiantly for survival fans first, while city planners may find things a bit more aggravating.
Fragnarok · Dec 27, 2022 Reviewed on PCRead full review - The numerous bugs, the long stretches of inactivity, and the disastrous, collapsing dominoes that could ensue from a single omission or bad decision made for a frequently maddening game; one whose biggest obstacles—whether designed or unintended—brought me little joy in overcoming.
Alexander Chatziioannou · Dec 09, 2022 Reviewed on PCRead full review - IXION brings a lot to the table as a strategy city-builder game. It has solid core mechanics coupled with unique features that add enough challenge and variety to your overall gameplay experience.
Marc Torzar · Dec 07, 2022 Reviewed on PCRead full review - So, in order effectively play this challenging city-building, survival hybrid, players will need an upper mid-tier PC. It's unfortunate because IXION is a game that quickly catches the player's attention and, despite it's high demands of the player, it finds a way to feel balanced and fair.
Jacob Zeranko · Dec 06, 2022 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Ixion perhaps could be used as an example of flying so high... and then missing the mark and falling pretty far down. There was so much to recommend and enjoy about the game, especially if only checking the first few hours. But the more you play, the flaws, difficulty, unraveling story, and pretty much everything else frustrates the player to such a degree that many players are not going to finish the game, either due to the difficulty, or simply not wanting to do the same thing for 5 hours and hoping their ship doesn't blow up randomly.
Eric Ace · Dec 21, 2022 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Aesthetically IXION is a very pleasing title as well. The soundtrack is fantastic, and certainly a contender for the best I’ve heard this year, featuring lots of incredible melodies and spacefaring themes. The graphics aren’t exactly high res, but the art style carries the adventure, and many of the tiny portraits are fun to look at.

About the game
Trailers & Screenshots:
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.
IN DOLOS WE TRUST
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?
