Official description
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?
