Game overview
Pax Autocratica is a darkly satirical sci-fi colony simulator combined with roguelite FPS combat. You build a totalitarian state, manage citizens and production, enact policies, and decide how much fear, loyalty or prosperity your regime needs to survive.
The colony and battlefield are directly connected: resources and production support your expeditions, while successful raids bring back people and resources that strengthen the State. You can personally fight alongside your soldiers against infantry, vehicles, mechs and large-scale battlefield threats across the Tyris System.
