Evaluation

Alien Robot Monsters launched on September 9, 2015 as a complete tower defense game with 31 levels, 6 bonus levels, 23 towers, and a full soundtrack. The developer shipped a handful of patches in the weeks immediately following release — a hotfix on September 10, a bug fix on September 12, a major balance and features patch on September 21, and a final balance patch on October 5, 2015. After that last update, there has been no further developer communication of any kind. The only DLC ever listed is the game's soundtrack, which released the day after launch on September 10, 2015. No additional content was ever announced, no roadmap was published, and no expansion or new content has been teased. The store description presents the game as a self-contained, fully-featured package. This is consistent with a game that launched complete and received a short post-launch polish period before the developer moved on. No further content is expected.
Evidence
ARM 1.2.45 patch with balance changes and small improvements — the last known developer communication for this game.
