AUTARKIS is an upcoming puzzle colony builder from developer rockingprojects. It's all about building mini colonies, and protecting them from catastrophes.

Love the whole setup and style on this one, looks like a really fun idea to play through. You can try it yourself too, as ahead of the September 1st release there is a demo available on the Steam page. The idea here is that you're searching for lost parts of your spaceship, the AUTARKIS. Building across multiple island-style settlements at the same time with portals to supply between them, it has some clever ideas but there's plenty of danger too.

More about it:

  • 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.

AUTARKIS | Release Date: 1st September 2025
