Dictatorship Defense Game Zettai Rocket Boueishugi Launches on Steam
The game's defense toolkit is built entirely from coercive mechanics, so the satire is the design: every standard strategy option, from boosting allies to managing morale, is recast as a dystopian abuse of power.

tiny cactus studio released Zettai Rocket Boueishugi on Steam on September 4, 2026. The base-building strategy casts the player as a dictatorship officer defending a rocket launch base from capitalist attacks, with the goal of launching an Ideology Satellite that corrects people's thoughts from space. The game costs 790 yen, or 695 yen during a seven-day launch sale. Developer Hachinosu/Kei expects a clear time of about two and a half hours.
The defense roster is where the premise does its work. A commando unit points guns at allies to boost their abilities, a radio station educates soldiers, a punishment unit sends criminals to the front lines, and human shields absorb attacks. Rations can be increased through bribery, and black market deals are available.
Soldiers can develop counter-revolutionary thoughts. When the secret police catch them, the player decides their fate: forced labor or the front lines. The game was announced in September 2024 and was selected for Selected Indie 80 at Tokyo Game Show 2024.
