Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Pax Autocratica has a lot of systems interacting with each other, so balancing everything is a big part of why we chose Early Access. We also want to get more eyes on the game, understand where the experience needs more depth, and learn what players want us to focus on. And, of course, we have plenty more content we want to add along the way.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Honestly, we don’t know yet. We’ve learned the hard way not to promise a date before we’re confident in it, so we would rather keep improving the game and leave Early Access when it feels ready.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We plan to add more content across both the colony and combat sides of the game, and co-op is one of the major features we hope to develop during Early Access. Player feedback will help us decide which parts of the game deserve the most attention, and trust me, we already have a very looong list of ideas.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version already contains a large amount of content, including many soldier types, weapons, buildings, cores, and the full colony-to-combat gameplay loop. It is designed to be an enjoyable and polished experience from day one, with even more content and refinement planned throughout Early Access.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes. We plan to raise the price when the game reaches its full release.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We’ll be active on Steam and Discord, and we’ll also use surveys and other ways to gather feedback. For years, development has been a constant back-and-forth with our community, across hundreds of builds and revisions. Player feedback has already led to thousands of improvements, and we plan to keep building the game together in the same way.”

About This Game

Establish the greatest regime in history in this darkly satirical colony sim and FPS roguelite hybrid. Build a prosperous totalitarian state, enforce policies, and lead your troops into first-person battles that grow from desperate skirmishes into large-scale mechanized war.

Dictate wisely. Every choice shapes society, for better or worse.

Mold your citizens through fear, propaganda, surveillance, punishment or rule as a benevolent leader through comfort and prosperity.

While they work for the State, they may grow grateful, afraid, loyal, or quietly rebellious, until dissent becomes revolt.

Venture into the fractured territories of the Tyris System to gather resources, conscript new citizens, trade with wandering merchants, and feed the growth of your colony.

Fight beside your troops in roguelite FPS battles, from hostile ships to large-scale mechanized battlefields of infantry, tanks, and mechs, spreading your doctrine and eliminating threats to humanity.

Weakened foes can be captured and dragged back to your base.

Behind prison doors, resistance can be crushed through fear, indoctrination, execution, or conversion, until an enemy becomes a citizen, a warning to would-be rebels, or another tool of the regime.

Elite enemies, bosses, and Sector Overlords flood the battlefield with bullets, lasers, missiles, drones, artillery, and overlapping projectile patterns.

This is war at scale, but you are not alone. Order your troops to secure victory, or use them as expendable shields to achieve your ends.

Turn a handful of survivors into a vast, tightly run, self-sustaining colony.

Assign citizens to mine, gather, haul, research, and manufacture weapons, armor, food, and supplies. Watch fragile shelters become the machinery of the State.

Collect roguelite cores during each expedition to grow stronger, survive longer, and push deeper into enemy territory.

Weapon Cores reshape how your guns handle. Combination Cores create synergies between different core sets. Others strengthen the troops fighting beside you, or turn them into sacrificial shields for your survival.

Each run becomes a shifting war machine built around you, your squad, and the chaos you unleash together.

Pax Autocratica is a totalitarian colony sim and FPS roguelite hybrid that combines base building, citizen management, and first-person chaotic battlefields filled with infantry, vehicles and bullet hell. It offers a dynamic, accessible, and approachable gameplay experience for all in a sci-fi dystopian world.

It’s a game about power. How it’s built, how it corrupts, and how it consumes.

You will command armies, dictate laws, and witness consequences in every face that salutes you or fears you.

THE STATE OBSERVES ALL

How will history remember your reign?

OUR PLEDGE
