Evaluation

Exark launched on August 18, 2026 as a fully released 1.0 game. In the launch post, the developer explicitly announced that a fifth Great House — the Infinite Kingdom, featuring robot-knights aboard the ark Carcharodon — is "coming up in a subsequent update," confirming that additional content is planned beyond the base release. The developer also noted that House Imperia's buildings had placeholder art at launch, with finalized art expected to be patched in within a few weeks. Since launch, Robot Cat Limited has been actively post-launch patching: Patch 1.01 (August 20), Patch 1.02 (August 21), Patch 1.02a (August 22), and Patch 1.03 (August 26) have all shipped, addressing bugs, performance, and quality-of-life improvements. The soundtrack DLC also released on August 26, 2026. The developer's communication has been consistent and engaged throughout this early post-launch period. The announced fifth Great House represents concrete, named future content that has not yet shipped, making this a game with more content still on the way.

About this game

The world-machine is broken. The sun has become a baleful orb of radiation. The Celestial Bureaucracy is in disarray. You, the Captain-General of a great ark, must lead your people rimwards, away from the gaze of the green sun.

Optimize Your Production

Survive your voyage by maximising your production of valuable resources:

  • Food fuels your buildings, and stockpiles increase their cycle speed.

  • Production allows you to construct more buildings on your ever-expanding ark.

  • Inspiration enables you to hire crew members with unique skills to improve your buildings.

  • ... or buy buildings and hire crew members outright by spending Gold at the dockside markets.

Choose Your Great House

Pick between a range of Great Houses, each with their own unique ark, buildings and crewmates. Command House Arioch's golden flagship, the Diurnal Ark, and harness the expertise of their engineers and artisans - or choose House Mnesis, whose ark, the titanic Shepherd Moon, is a motherlode of precious raw materials.

Exploit the Houses' specialities, mitigate their shortcomings, and lead them to a safe refuge on the rim.

Key Features

  • Explore a vibrant world, with diverse biomes and settlements.

  • Command 4 unique Great Houses, each requiring a different strategy to reach victory.

  • Build your ultimate engine with over 100 buildings and specialized crew members.

  • Play at your own pace with pause and time acceleration.

  • Multiple routes to victory, either focusing on peaceful production or blasting your enemies into submission.
