Zexion

About

Zexion is a sci-fi platformer where you play as Natu, a space warrior racing to salvage their dying planet. Armed with a range of high-tech tools like a gravity harness for short bursts of flight and a force blaster that manipulates objects, you'll navigate shifting environments on Cypher-X72. The game blends puzzle solving with combat as you push through alien ruins and hostile terrain, using each new gadget to access previously blocked paths. Battles against rival factions add urgency, forcing you to balance resource management with quick reflexes. Developed by Gallant Leaf, Zexion stands out for its tight control scheme and escalating environmental challenges. The gravity harness and force blaster mechanics see frequent use in both traversal and fights, creating a fluid play loop. While it leans into familiar sci-fi tropes, the game’s emphasis on tool-based problem solving keeps it engaging. Launching on PC and Linux in March 2025, it’s a focused experience that prioritizes action over lore, with a runtime of around 10-12 hours.
