About This Game

Assume the role of an Administrator in STAK’s prestigious Simulation Division. From your terminal, run countless combat simulations to develop, test, and refine the company’s latest generation of military androids ahead of real-world production.

Recruit Operators from a growing roster of distinct characters, each with their own visual design, combat abilities, and personality. Build fireteams around powerful Synergies, assemble specialist squads to counter dangerous Hazards, or simply deploy with your favorites — the choice is yours.

Defeat simulated combat scenarios to extract data, strengthen your roster, research improvements to STAK infrastructure, and push deeper into the Simulation. Farm upgrade components, Operators, and equipment from previously cleared zones actively, passively, or even while offline.

Reposition Operators at the right time, choose the exact moment to fire a skill, and read the battlefield to give your squad the best chance at victory. Intervene more as dangerous enemies appear, then sit back and watch upgraded teams tear through scenarios that once gave you trouble.

Tune each Operator for different missions and save stat configurations as presets for quick swaps when the battlefield changes. As you invest points into different weapon stats, the weapon itself changes—attachments are added to visually reflect the build you’ve created. Customize your builds further with weapon coatings, unique wraps, and an expanding selection of Operator costumes.

No premium currency, energy systems, paid pulls, limited-time gameplay, or cash-only items. Cosmetics are earned through play and achievements, with additional cosmetics added as frequent free updates.

Ex Simulacris captures the progression rhythm of a live-service game without the recurring cost. Check in for login rewards, complete daily and weekly missions, take on events, and keep finding new reasons to improve your roster. Gameplay events remain available permanently, so you can experience them on your own schedule.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Ex Simulacris is developed by a solo developer with extensive use of AI tools across the entire production pipeline.

While AI is heavily used during development, nearly every finished asset is reviewed, edited, directed, or implemented by the developer, and all game design and implementation decisions are human-directed. All AI-assisted content is generated during development; no generative AI runs during gameplay or creates content while you play.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

Ex Simulacris contains stylized sci-fi combat involving firearms, explosives, military androids, and other weapons. Characters and enemies may be shown damaged or defeated, but the game does not feature graphic gore or realistic dismemberment.

Some Operator artwork and costumes contain suggestive anime-style fan service, including revealing outfits and damaged clothing that may expose additional skin. There are no explicit sexual acts, nudity, or graphic sexual content.
