Pax Autocratica is soon launching in Early Access on Steam, a new game that combines Colony Sim and FPS Roguelite, allowing you to build your own totalitarian regime in the style of Helldivers 2.
What kind of game is it? Pax Autocratica is developed by Multiverse and will be available in Early Access on Steam on August 10, 2026. The game describes itself as a darkly satirical hybrid of Colony Sim and FPS Roguelite, letting you establish the greatest regime in history.
You will build a colony in the shattered Tyris system, gather resources, recruit citizens, and trade with wandering merchants. Every political decision shapes your society for better or worse.
In parallel, you’ll send your troops into battles from a first-person perspective, escalating from small skirmishes to large-scale mechanized warfare. Whether you rule with fear and surveillance or as a more benevolent leader is entirely up to you.
Here you can watch a trailer for Pax Autocratica:
Two genres, one crazy game
What does it have to do with Palworld and Helldivers? The colony aspect of Pax Autocratica strongly resembles Palworld. You assign your citizens tasks such as mining, gathering, researching, or manufacturing weapons and supplies, shaping a tightly organized base from a handful of survivors.
The battles, in turn, play out like in Helldivers 2. From a first-person perspective, you dive into battles filled with projectiles, lasers, and vehicles, while elite enemies and sector rulers flood the field with bullets, rockets, and artillery.
Thematically, the comparison to Helldivers is also close. Instead of fighting for the propaganda-driven Über-Earth, in Pax Autocratica you build your own regime and shape citizens through fear, propaganda, and surveillance, until quiet dissent turns into open revolt.
What roguelite elements are there? In every expedition, you collect so-called cores, which make you stronger and allow you to delve deeper into enemy territory. Weapon cores change the handling of your equipment, while combination cores create synergies between different core sets.
Other cores strengthen the troops at your side or turn them into sacrificial shields for your own survival. This makes each run its own little war machine, which you build according to your playstyle.
What do you think of the colorful genre mix? Do you believe it has potential, or does the combination sound too wild to be good? Feel free to let us know in the comments!
