What is in Pax Autocratica right now
Short answer · Buying today, what do I get
A complete single-player colony sim and first-person roguelite, still being added to.
The developer's own description of the current state:
The Early Access version already contains a large amount of content, including many soldier types, weapons, buildings, cores, and the full colony-to-combat gameplay loop. It is designed to be an enjoyable and polished experience from day one, with even more content and refinement planned throughout Early Access.Source, primary tier: "What the developers have to say": the Early Access questionnaire, published by Multiverse, via the Steam store page.
