Evaluation
Alekhine's Gun is a Cold War stealth-action game that released on March 11, 2016 as a complete, self-contained product with 11 levels and a full narrative campaign. The store description lists all features as present and makes no mention of planned DLC, expansions, or post-launch content. There is no DLC listed for the game on the store. The one relevant news post found on the publisher's page (October 22, 2024) is an announcement for an entirely different game — Realpolitiks 3 — published by the same publisher, Fulqrum Publishing, and has nothing to do with Alekhine's Gun. There is no evidence of any post-launch content updates, patches, or developer communications specific to this game. It launched as a finished product and has remained unchanged since its release date.

About this game
It is the height of the Cold War, a time of global uncertainty and civil unrest. You are Agent Alekhine, a highly skilled Russian assassin, driven by a moral compass that leads you headfirst into a covert operation unsanctioned by the country you previously served.
Working alongside American CIA agents, your mission is clear - though how you accomplish it is anything but - as the tension of a nuclear standoff grows with each passing minute. Enemies and allies blur; truth is as nebulous as your identity. In a world where one wrong move could be the end of you, navigating a new direction comes at a price.

Features:
- TRAVERSE 11 OPEN GAME LEVELS - Play through open environments with non-linear missions within intriguing U.S., European, and Cuban locations. Explore multiple routes, hidden rooms, and numerous methods to execute assignments. Move freely within your surroundings. Tackle objectives in any order you choose.
- CONTROL YOUR MISSIONS - Complete each stage within the missions based on your own personal strategy and play style. Experiment with tactics such as using poisons, staging accidents, or purposely alerting guards.

Gain additional weapons after each level based on your ability to complete missions without causing attention.
