Our take on Hexogin

The premise receives substantial attention, but the playable scope is presented mainly through a compact list of modes and tools: a 25+ mission campaign, generated skirmishes, and map creation. The store text gives little detail about how base management, combat, or the editor work in practice.

What is Hexogin?

Hexogin is a real-time strategy game set on hexagonal tile maps.

Players control an AI subroutine seeking to reclaim Vega 4 from a corrupted AI that has developed weapons and defenses across the planet. The game combines base expansion and management with real-time battles across distinct landscapes. A campaign contains more than 25 missions. For additional matches, the game generates skirmish maps procedurally, while an included editor allows custom map creation. The setting follows an automated vessel sent to terraform Vega 4 for human settlement, after which its directives are overwritten and it turns against the planned colony. The player’s objective is to retake the planet before humanity arrives.
