Star Ixiom[a] is a space combat simulator video game developed and published by Namco for the PlayStation.

In the game, the player controls one of seven ships in their mission to wipe out an alien race threatening the galaxy.

Upon release, Star Ixiom received mixed reviews - while many applauded its visuals and controls, it was criticized for its simplicity and lack of variety in missions, with several outlets unfavorably comparing it to Colony Wars.

It is the sequel to Star Luster, an older Namco game released for the Family Computer in 1985 that has since been ported to several other platforms.

[2] The development team focused on modernizing the gameplay in Star Luster while still keeping the mechanics and ideas that made the original popular intact.

[4] It was presented at the 1999 Tokyo Game Show in March, alongside Namco's own Dragon Valor and Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere.

German magazine Video Games labeled its presentation "extremely boring", although complimented its simplistic controls,[8] while Mega Fun disliked its lack of variety and bland storyline, unfavorably comparing it to Colony Wars.

[10] In a more positive light, Next Generation highly praised its graphics and atmosphere, stating they "offer a convincing illusion of speed and scale", while also applauding its depth and innovation.
