Evaluation

Bastard was released on May 14, 2018. The developer's own announcement described it as a new addon (to Legends of Eisenwald), and all post-launch activity consisted of two bug-fix patches in the days immediately following launch — one on May 16 and one on May 18, 2018 — to address ending bugs and text errors. There has been no developer communication of any kind since May 18, 2018. The game has no DLC listed, no announced future content, and no update pattern beyond the initial launch fixes. It launched as a complete, self-contained product and has received no further development since those early patches.
