GETTING STARTED! - Let's Play IXION - New Sci Fi Survival City Builder

IXION is a city-builder survival game similar to Frostpunk. In this gameplay series I'm showing how to guide you on the basics of settlement management, resources, and survival and to uncover the mystery of what happened to Earth.

Hey everyone! This episode is effectively the prologue, but after this the game opens up and allows exploration and traversal at your whim. There is an over-arching story to follow as well but you're free to build, advance and explore. Hope you enjoy this as much as I have!

[@NameFirst834]

I plan to buy this game, do you have a creator code or link that would help you when we buy it ?

[@Berndr]

is there a victory condition, I mean can you win the scenario in this game ... I am not fun of sandbox where you play till you get bored ...

[@oleggello]

I like many other people that don't voice their opinions, love your stuff. We love how you present new content, even though you're messy and inconsistent.

[@anthonyr.1568]

I don't know about messy, but inconsistent for sure.

[@masholy]

You make every game you play great ... please continue i would like to watch a full series of this game looks incredible 🔥

[@nicholasmcclure1959]

Loved Frostpunk, hyped for this.

[@MikeWeiner]

THIS IS HOW TO MAKE A GETTING STARTED VIDEO!!! I just got this game on Steam today and I got into it, read a bit, but as I usually do I bailed and restarted twice...repurposing what I learned in the earlier games into the new ones. But I still wanted to see someone else play it to reinforce what I knew and see if there was anything I missed. I like how you explained what was necessary and skipped over what wasn't as well as not only playing pretty quickly, but explaining not just what you're doing, but your thinking/strategy behind your clicks. I've already Liked and am Subscribing...you're the player I've been looking for!

[@baska-]

I'll give this game a try thanks to your video. Keep it up!!

[@Kristaliorn]

What a game! Loving the ambience, music and feel. Also your LP's are awesome when you enjoy them this much.

[@jackwalker2643]

This was awesome. Can't wait for the next episodes. Great gameplay, love the UI, atmosphere and music are great. Even the story and cliffhanger in a citybuilder amazes me. Loved it.

[@Blue_Kraken_Gaming]

Super jealous you have your hands on this already, it is on my Wishlist waiting for release, Looking forward to what comes next :D

[@left-coast-dad]

Hell yes! Been waiting for this one. Thanks for the video!

[@beettle76]

enjoyed every minute of this episode! looking forward to this series

[@Sephyricon]

Looks awesome. Totally missed this game, looks really fun, even though I'm just 10 minutes in.

[@Danuke708]

Well thanks for the firts look at the game. Im definitely buying this game

[@JackDelfino1]

excited to start this series! been an avid watcher of your anno series, this looks amazing.

[@ArsenMan]

• Never seen you this excited about a game since early Anno 1800 • I have to say, I recently became very interested in the fascinating Space/Universe. Games I've seen in the past about this subject didn't depict the actual Solar system...glad this one does. • Very happy with what I've seen this far, looking forward to a Let's Play of Epic proportions 😀

[@diaxus388]

oh yes yes yes, please, more more more, this game is beyond my PC so as always ( apart from anno 1600 which does run badly) my enjoyment of games is through a lot of your streams, i feel hints of something similar to your mega Stellaris stream i hope, many weeks of exploration of the game.

[@sicecko]

Looking forward to watching this series!

[@norgate880]

Looking awesome! Will need to add this to my list

[@Kristaliorn]

Been looking forward to this one!

[@nbroadsword]

Damn this looks so good.

[@Kristaliorn]

Salve NB

[@nbroadsword]

@@Kristaliorn *kisses*

[@killidaenarrameos1216]

your video is so good that I want to play the game and will be buying it

[@nicosand86]

20min into your video and you've convinced me

[@tomdawson3495]

This game looks beautiful.

[@zackzebedi561]

Do you plan to do a review on Knights of Honor 2?

[@deanwinchester9117]

Wow very great start to a game..

[@nordicberserk]

You spent time on those solar system events, but never collected the resources you got out of it.. Other than that, very good video!

[@dante411x]

Lmao it was giving me so much anxiety watching him open the map, open the fleet management and never selecting the resources to transport. I suppose the next video is gonna answer whether or not those resources can still be picked up.

[@diazinth]

@@dante411x every youtuber I've seen playing this game, does the same. I guess they had something about it in the contract, hehe. ;)

[@scottishborn2884]

this is a game i know you have been waiting to play and get a series on, Lets see what it has to offer and how great you can make it

[@lonerangerv1224]

I do not think you actually picked up the resources from the space events as the cargo ship never went to them

[@Tyrope]

Nope, 30 steel left behind on... What's left of... the moon

[@AniruddhaMaram]

Haha…. Even the polymer near Saturn, but no harm unless its not food in the beginning i guess.

[@ciselkane05]

and that, IMO, is why you do not, *do not* test fire your experimental first production version FTL engine near stellar bodies. move the vessel into "dead space" far, *far* away from said stellar bodies then test the FTL/Jump/Fold/ect engine.

[@danielfletcher3822]

Looks great. Just a random question, would you ever consider playing Valheim? Or is that not your style of game? Love everything you do!

[@Dubstepconcept]

Appreciate the vid, not gonna watch this one yet though as I've seen very little on the game because I was hooked as soon as I saw it. Threw a thumbs up though because you have good taste, will return to watch and sub after I get my hands on it tomorrow. Cheers!

[@LookOutForNumberOne]

I was getting stuck and could not reach the jump until I saw your first video. Now, I will do things differently, clearly there is a very defined way of doing things and if you deviate from it, it could go wrong very quickly. I found it very frustrating that I could NOT go to the other junction to make more stuff and grow. I need to research train, but WHY? When you have more than 4 passages per side. It is actually ridiculous. I am stuck there at them moment.

[@deathops6167]

25:45 my man doing Tai chi 💀

[@Lucky_Dandy]

Looks like a good game.

[@Calihan]

Did you ever play any more Sweet Transit?

[@henrikhansen9358]

Im on. Perfect 😊

[@vadersnipes378]

My first series you’ve started since finishing university 😁 just graduated from a 3 year cybersecurity degree

[@Jackthat1]

Spacepunk

[@navi2710]

Has the game been released?

[@AbandonTheWest]

You missed "Solar Panel Set 2". lol

[@richardbraakman7469]

I'm still confused by how it says you're going to Proxima Centauri but you never actually go there

[@roniiiiiii]

What happened to bannerlord. I was excited to see more. Hopefully a new Anno episode is on the way

[@WhatDarrenPlays]

I gave an update about it and future videos on my community page on KZbin!

[@roniiiiiii]

@@WhatDarrenPlays I didn't know about the community page thank you. I'm happy that you can keep Anno running 😁

[@ghostinquisitor7743]

Bit late to the party it seems. Welp, I'll see how good this walkthrough goes.

[@ChRiAn0815]

Is it just me or does the CEO look like Zilko from Arcane?

[@zanewilliams4790]

does this mean future stellaris??

[@nothings_chaos2509]

If only you aligned the ship correctly the man on the moon would still be working

[@simpskins1]

FLUFFFF

[@TheWeezyfly]

whyd it take me some long to find your channel ;'[

[@WhatDarrenPlays]

I don’t know 😭

[@TheWeezyfly]

@@WhatDarrenPlays Bro I been binge watching the series i'm on part 5 right now. Keep up the amazing work. Can't wait to see you play more manor lords when it finally gets released. Or even see a take of you on some Total War games. Either you're amazing and when you play is super chill vibe.

[@xeros8675]

what a fucking cliffhanger

[@flobiish]

It's bugging me that you never had your cargo ships go get the resources you obtained from your missions on the moon and Mars.

[@WhatDarrenPlays]

Dont worry about it, we’ll get it eventually :P

[@flobiish]

@@WhatDarrenPlays LOL I'm not that worried, just a dash of ocd. But according to the next video...they're just gone.

[@TobyHoving09]

what about bannerlord

[@gentlegiant1107]

Haha... bosom

[@Slukke]

Is this a sponsored, early access video? I'm not seeing where you're calling this out anywhere.

[@WhatDarrenPlays]

Nope, wasn’t sponsored. Wish I was!

[@thename4149]

trust is gonna be a big problem, trust me

[@lanslater]

Nicely paced good job explaining & walking through so Liked & subscribed! just please make the next episode link clear to access in that info section above Also I need an invite to your discord for this game please I'm a total noob at it

[@GamerZone3]

Did you ended bannerlord series ?

[@Kristaliorn]

He said it did not do well enough sadly. He did mention it was ashame as the comments received were really good.
