Evaluation

Abathor - Atlantis Landing launched on June 29, 2023 as a free-to-play action platformer. The store description explicitly describes the game as a "game excerpt" containing "5 distinct levels of increasing difficulty (from the more than 50 stages that the complete game contains)," which frames this Steam release as a standalone demo or sampler of a larger project — not an evolving live game. There have been no developer news posts, announcements, roadmaps, or patch notes of any kind. The DLC list contains no unreleased entries, and no future content has been communicated through any official channel. Given the game launched as a defined, self-contained excerpt with no post-launch communication or content activity since June 2023, it is best understood as a complete, finished product in its current form.

Evidence

Store description explicitly calls the game a 'game excerpt' with 5 levels drawn from a larger 50+ stage complete game, framing this release as a self-contained sampler rather than an evolving product.

About this game

Atlantis is being razed! Demon hordes have burst through dimensional gates to destroy the entire continent. The last Atlantean refugees have been devoured by a sea abomination as they boarded their ships to flee the massacre. In this game excerpt, the monsters appear to be led by a mysterious enemy: cunning General Kipak.

What is happening in the once mighty Atlantis? The heroes land on a dangerous beach, each with a powerful reason for being there...

Relive the glory of arcades in this action platformer for up to 4 players. This game excerpt contains:

5 distinct levels of increasing difficulty (from the more than 50 stages that the complete game will have), riddled with enemies, traps and challenges.
The beginning of Abathor's story. You will start to sense what is happening on the Atlantis continent and how to deal with the threat.
A combat against the sea abomination that has devoured the fleeing Atlanteans.
A pixel-perfect art design, beautiful and detailed, and epic musical compositions.
