Evaluation
50 Years launched into Early Access and graduated to its full 1.0 release on May 30, 2017, at which point the developer noted they planned to continue working on the game. Following that release, a handful of feature patches and balance updates shipped through November 25, 2017 — the most recent being a balance adjustment to the Egyptians faction. After that date, developer activity on this game ceased entirely. By August 2023, the developer publicly announced they had moved on to a new project, "Epic Auto Towers," with no mention of returning to 50 Years. There are no unreleased DLC, no announced future content, and no post-2017 updates of any kind. The game launched as a complete package and received its last substantive update on November 25, 2017.

About this game
Fast paced turn-based strategy
50 Years is a fast-paced alternative to the bigger, longer turn-based strategy games. You can win or lose a game in a single evening. Either way you'll want to play again.
Still a strategy
We love strategy games and we want to keep all those emotions that we had while playing them. That's why "50 years" is still a strategy. You will take difficult decisions and take risks.
Replayability
Quick matches doesn't mean that you will soon get tired of playing. if you loose you would play again just to survive longer. If you win you would play again to beat the game even better. Furthermore the element of randomness makes your decisions non-obivous.
Early game matters
We are sure that early game is one of the most fun parts of strategy game. Of course, the mistakes in early game can have unfortunate consequences and can even lead to defeat, but that is what makes this games interesting.
