Star Ixiom , a remake of the classic 1985 game Star Luster, drops you into the role of a pilot for The United Galaxy Space Force. You're fighting alien invaders with the help of the strategic mobile battle unit "Team Gaia". Five alien races have launched a collective attack on mankind's expansion, and it's up to you to defend the colonies.
Gameplay in Star Ixiom combines elements of space combat, strategic planning, and role-playing. You'll mix first person shooting with planning your moves and interacting with objects in the game world. There are three game modes: TRAINING, COMMAND, and CONQUEST. In TRAINING, you can practice your skills without any pressure. In COMMAND, you go on separate missions to fight through one alien race at a time. In CONQUEST, you're given a large randomly created map of a solar system that shows the location of your enemies and friendly objects such as planets and laboratories that you must defend.
