Our take on Pax Autocratica
The game combines running an authoritarian colony with personally joining its troops in first-person roguelite battles.
What is Pax Autocratica?
Pax Autocratica combines colony management with first-person roguelite combat.
Build a settlement, assign citizens to tasks such as mining, research, and manufacturing, and set policies that shape how they respond to the regime. Citizens may become loyal, fearful, grateful, or rebellious. Expeditions into the Tyris System gather resources, recruit people, and lead to battles against enemies ranging from infantry to vehicles and mechs. Weakened opponents can be captured and subjected to punishment, indoctrination, execution, or conversion. During each run, collected cores alter weapons or strengthen troops, creating different combinations for later fights. Players can also give orders to soldiers during battles, which range from small skirmishes to large-scale mechanized conflicts.
