Evaluation
Badland Bandits entered Steam Early Access on July 16, 2015 as a steampunk vehicular combat game. The developer, Wild Wolf Studio, was briefly active in the days immediately following launch — posting a server update on July 27, 2015 and announcing a monetization overhaul on July 28, 2015 to address player concerns about pay-to-win mechanics. That July 28, 2015 post is the last official communication from the developer on record. All five DLC items were released during this same brief July 2015 window. No patches, roadmap updates, announcements, or any other developer activity has occurred since then. The game has never left Early Access — it remains in that state today, more than a decade after launch, with no path to a full release ever communicated. Notably, the game is no longer purchasable on Steam, meaning new players cannot acquire it, though this has not been accompanied by any developer statement.
Evidence

About this game
It’s the first time developers have taken a risk to combine magical fantasy style and pragmatic steampunk. Players try the role of merciless warriors who destroy enemies using armored wheeled monsters. Each machine is a result of ingenious military engineering. In addition to tens of weapon and armor types all the machines are equipped with exclusive bonus modules.
Battles full of adrenaline take place on earth and in the air, under the blinding sun and in bitter frost. Interactive maps and well-detailed physics considering landscapes and peculiarities of all mechanisms supplement rich gameplay.
*For Mac-players : if you have an issue with the game (black screen) - please turn off Steam overlay.
