On Steam, an insider tip among strategy players is on offer in which you have to save humanity from extinction.
What kind of game is that? Ixion is a strategy game on Steam, where everything is about managing a space station. The Tiqqun space station serves as a modern ark Noah as a refuge. However, the space station is only a prototype with many pitfalls, and it is due to your skills to properly manage it.
Ixion describes itself as a urban planning simulation, even if in this case it is less about beautiful places and more about bare survival. Events can occur at any time that affect the space station and its crew, and your task is to always adapt to the situations and to master them.
Here you can see the trailer:

Environmental protection or research
What makes the game so special? A central element of Ixion is the constant balancing act between environmental protection and scientific progress. As an administrator of the TIQQUN, you have to reduce resources to expand the ward, to research new technologies and to improve your chances of survival.
But every dismantling project has consequences: if you neglect the environment, risk your catastrophic damage to the ward, while too careful procedure inhibits your progress.
So you are constantly confronted with strategic decisions that you don’t know what the outcome is. You have to decide when and where you build mines, how you use energy sources and which research projects are most important.
Your decisions will be assessed by the crew of your station at the same time, which can defend yourself against you if you act too ruthlessly. Your research can solve many problems, but need time and resources for which you have to compromise.
This conflict between short -term survival and long -term sustainability makes Ixion so exciting and ensures reflection, since you can try out different strategies in a new round.
Ixion has been around since the Steam Spring Sale at the new offer price of € 13.59 and is therefore more favorable than ever before. This prize is on Steam until April 7, before the space strategy game rises again to the basic price of € 33.99.
Ixion is not yet known to many fans and therefore counts as an insider tip for strategy fans. If you don’t know which game you should use to beat your ears, look into our strategy list: The 15 best strategy games for PC 2025
