Show Full Description

Seize power and build an empire of fuzzy cellular automata monsters! Inspired by Conway's Game of Life, Automata Empire challenges you to herd hundreds of mindless automata subjects to smash your rivals' castles and steal their territory. While your loyal subjects lack individual intelligence, you can sacrifice them to build chains of taverns and roads to impose order on chaos. Ready to invade? Build some high-velocity catapults to launch your minions directly into battle. Balance expansion and consolidation carefully to grow your empire into enemy territory and gain dominance over the toroid. Or cleverly engineer feedback loops to surprise your opponents with overwhelming force.

Automata Empire Critic Reviews

Without the Sarcasm

Automata Empire is as chaotic as it is hypnotic. The strategy focus and the simple mechanics make it easy to learn but difficult to master. That simplicity and randomness cut both ways, though, yielding a few frustrating moments.

4.5 / 10.0

While Siegecraft mode and the game's humorous moments provide some noteworthy highlights, the lack of anything beyond the feedback loop core gameplay has led to an overall uninteresting, flat experience.
