Factories chugging along with appropriate animations. ![]() Zoom into the interior where you plop various buildings and amenities, and you’ll spot quite many details too. Things do get dire, and this exterior view helps sell that feeling. So you do get to see and up close shot of the planets and wreckage of where the Tiqqun is hovering. The view gives you a sense of place- where you are in the solar system right now. The exterior view lacks a bit on what it does gameplay-wise, but I love that it’s there. Love the big signage saying what sector it is. The spaceship you’ll be managing, the Tiqqun (pronounced like “tycoon”) is lavishly detailed and accentuated with bits and bobs on the exterior as well as the interior. Its take on sci-fi is on the more grounded side of things. Ixion knocks it out of the park when it comes to how the game presents itself. Though the execution could’ve been a bit better. It’s a bit out there based on the developers’ past games, but in an ever-crowding space of city-builders and survival city-builders, does Ixion stands out from the crowd? It does, thankfully, this game definitely has a strong vision of what it wants to be. Unlike the turn-based tactics RPG of Crowntakers and Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus, this is a survival settlement builder set in space, with a rather linear story. Bulwark Games has gone for something completely different for their third game, Ixion. ![]()
