IonAxxia

IonAxxia is a space combat game about recovering the world’s stolen argon from aliens. You fight a series of one-on-one battles, matching your ship’s strengths against each opponent’s weaknesses. Patience, timing and careful decisions matter: you choose which ship to use and when and where to engage, since charging in with guns blazing can bring a quick defeat. If you are outmatched, you can look for a more underhanded way to win.

Ship design

You build combat vessels from six component types: design, hull, engine, generator, primary weapon and secondary. The game has 81 components at launch, offering millions of possible ship variations. Equipment includes blasters, lasers, boosters, antimatter spread, mining lasers, scatterpack missiles, grapplers, autosentries, Ion Stream Projectors, knives and sharp sticks. You can apply upgrades without limit.

Space-game influences

IonAxxia takes inspiration from 1990s space games such as Master of Orion, Ascendancy and Star Control, with varied technology and science-fiction jargon.
