A darkly satirical totalitarian colony sim and FPS roguelite hybrid by Multiverse. You build a colony, shape citizens through fear or comfort, and fight first-person roguelite battles beside your troops.
Is Pax Autocratica turn-based?
No. It is a real-time colony sim combined with a first-person roguelite shooter. Guides describing turns, tax rates or cabinets are describing a different game.

Playing It
Section titled “Playing It”Does Pax Autocratica have co-op or multiplayer?
Not at launch. Both releases list Single-player only on Steam. Multiverse has said co-op is a major feature it hopes to develop during Early Access.
That makes the purchase decision different from a co-op shooter: check the dedicated multiplayer page before treating the Early Access launch as something to play with friends.

Are there mods or console commands in Pax Autocratica?
