Command settlers, mine resources, and build portals to save humanity in AUTARKIS. Protect your colony from catastrophes as you search for lost components and prepare for an eventual escape.
About this game
In this puzzle colony builder you search for lost parts of your spaceship AUTARKIS. Build and manage several settlements at the same time and use portals to supply them. But be careful, the planets you visit are full of dangers.
Tactical Colony Layout
When your settlers land on a planet, they will find a harsh environment. Each building depends on its neighbours. Think carefully about the most efficient way to build your colony.
Running Multiple Colonies at the Same Time
Advanced portal technology allows you to manage multiple colonies at once. Explore new sectors of a planet to find lost ship parts. However, sometimes it might be necessary to abandon one of your settlements.
Surviving Against All Odds
Life on an alien planet is unforgiving. Your colony may face meteor showers, toxic clouds, floods or even the destruction of an entire sector. At worst, you will have to launch a second settlement expedition. Failure is part of the game.
Adapting to Varied Environments
You will establish colonies on various planets. Each with different conditions. Build in an Earth-like environment, among giant mushrooms or on windy desert plains.
The Journey Back to AUTARKIS
The ultimate goal of every settlement expedition is to return to the mothership AUTARKIS. Ideally with the ship components you are looking for, but of course the lives of your settlers are your first priority.

Kill The Hero Playtest Is Live
Hi everyone, after Autarkis, we now have another exciting project to share with you: Kill The Hero, a Dungeon Builder, Autobattler, and Deckbuilder where you are very much not the hero. Kill The Hero Steam Page {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43957607/98bdb2a98796db92248e597f8a839c3289618b08.gif Deep beneath the earth lies your domain. Brave fools keep entering it in search of glory, loot, and probably a heroic end. They call themselves “heroes”. You call them gold suppliers. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43957607/f90fa4913afd51451bfa0652246a77e44246391f.gif In Kill The Hero, you prepare your dungeon before each attack: dig new rooms, build traps, place guards, and arrange everything into the most unpleasant welcome possible. Then you let the heroes in, and your planning decides whether they reach you or become another useful pile of gold. During battle, you are not completely passive. Build a deck of powerful cards and play them at the right moment to turn even difficult fights in your favor. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43957607/ace337ce7b31d96078ed73fe293688786334a8ff.gif Every defeated hero brings you closer to your real goal: research new possibilities, strengthen your dungeon, and complete the World Domination Machine. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43957607/1f28b8e666430a12b7bb94820aefe015d90f1ae3.gif What You Can Expect Dungeon Builder, Autobattler, and Deckbuilder in one game. Two-phase gameplay: expand your dungeon, then let the heroes in. Traps, guards, and dungeon layout fight for you. Strategic card play during battle rounds. Ever-stronger heroes and attacks that play out differently from round to round. Research, upgrades, and a growing path toward world domination. Handcrafted pixel art with no generative AI. The Steam Playtest Is Open The playtest for Kill The Hero is now live, and we’d love to hear your feedback. If you enjoy dungeon building, tactical planning, autobattler battles, or the idea of turning overconfident heroes into funding for your evil master plan, please give it a try.
