Evaluation

Ash & Adam's Existential Treads launched on May 3, 2026 and has received a steady stream of updates since then. The developers shipped their first major post-launch update on May 12, 2026, adding Daily Island and Skirmish game modes. On July 14, 2026, they shipped their second major update — Mini Missions — introducing 9 new challenge modes and 4 new achievements. These two major updates are roughly 2 months apart, establishing a clear pattern of meaningful new content additions since launch. Additional smaller patches landed in May 2026 covering control improvements, a Spanish translation, and bug fixes, with another bug fix patch on July 15, 2026. The May 7, 2026 post had teased a "larger update with exciting new gameplay" beyond Daily & Skirmish — the Mini Missions update shipped on July 14, 2026 is the clear fulfillment of that promise. No new specific future content has been announced since then, but the developers have demonstrated consistent engagement with the game and have not indicated that development is winding down. The last developer communication was on July 15, 2026, just over a month ago as of today.

About this game

Part city builder, part retro vehicle shooter. Tear down the ruins of the old world and use what you find to build a settlement. Rescue survivors from the wastes. Defend your people against waves of attacks from the rogue AI that ruined the old world. Procedural levels and random build order make every run unique.

Carve your way through the post-post-apocalyptic sprawl to find valuable resources and rescue settlers.

Every building you construct and how you position it affects your settlement's chance of survival.

The dark remnants of humanity’s past are not friendly.

Work together with your community to restore each wasteland to its natural glory.

A small, focused experience made by two pals, not a global mega studio. We'd love to hear what you think in the Steam Discussions or on our Discord. We actually listen and roll that feedback into updates.
