🪐 Axion
3D Tactical Game Set in Deep Space
About the Game
Axion is an experimental 3D tactical strategy game set against the backdrop of deep space. Game status is Work In Progress. It is not fully functional yet but rather shows what it will be.
You command a squad of combat units engaged in strategic encounters with enemy forces — where positioning, timing, and tactical decisions determine victory.
The game features a fully software-rendered 3D engine, running on both classic Amigas and modern PowerPC-based systems such as AmigaOS 4.1 and MorphOS.
No hardware acceleration — just raw CPU power and software rendering.
Requirements (Classic Amiga)
-
CPU: Motorola 68060 @ 100 MHz or faster
-
RAM: 10 MB free
-
OS: AmigaOS 3.x
Supported Systems
-
AmigaOS 3.x (classic Amiga)
-
AmigaOS 4.1 - not tested yet
-
MorphOS
WinUAE
Development Plans
A full version of Axion is planned, featuring a 10-mission campaign that will provide at least 10 hours of tactical gameplay.
The estimated development time for this stage is around 6 months.
An additional mission editor is also planned, allowing players to create and share their own custom missions to extend replayability and community content.
Supporters of the project will be able to gain early access to development builds and test features before the full release.
Developer Notes
Axion is a passion project by a developer with game development experience, having previously contributed to commercially released titles.
The project serves as both a technical exploration of what’s possible on Amiga hardware and a tribute to the demoscene spirit — merging classic rendering with modern design ideas.

Looking great so far for a first demo.
Not sure but I think with some optimizations it might be faster on at least Vampire cards (supporting AMMX, all 3 Pipes).
like the look of this 🙌
Nice concept, looking forward to it!😍
If you want to add Support for WarpOS (maybe interesting now that PiStorm gets WarpOS) and AROS feel free to contact me at tirionareonwe@gmail.com (I am more The AmigaOS 4 guy but still support all Amigaoid Systems).
Looks very nice btw. Remonds me of Freespace which I ported to AmigaOS back then…
Tested on AmigaOS4.1FE in real machine Pegasos-II G4 1Ghz+ Radeon9200 and it works.
Great news! How the performance ? Any serious issues troubles etc ?
runs 640x480 with a good framerate. 29 fps when ships are moving, 19fps in 1024x768, 15fps in 1280x1024, its playlable. But there're a bug, when I press cursor keys for rotate the map, it crashes
