Evaluation

Aces of the Luftwaffe – Squadron launched on July 24, 2018 as a complete shoot 'em up experience. A single paid DLC — the Nebelgeschwader (Axis Campaign) — was released on November 13, 2018, adding a full additional campaign with 25 levels and 6 boss fights. That DLC is the only one ever listed for the game, and it has been available since 2018. The developer has made no announcements of additional content at any point. Post-launch developer activity has been limited to two bug-fix patches: one in February 2021 addressing DLC accessibility, and one in February 2023 for Steam Deck compatibility. Neither patch introduced new content or hinted at future additions. With all released content shipped and no further content communicated by the developer, the game is considered complete as of November 13, 2018.

Evidence

The only DLC, the Axis Campaign (Nebelgeschwader), was released on November 13, 2018 and is the sole post-launch content addition.
