Evaluation
Cast of the Seven Godsends originally launched on July 20, 2015. Over the following year, the developer actively engaged with community feedback, shipping a graphical/feature patch in September 2015 and working on engine improvements. On July 19–21, 2016 — exactly one year after launch — the developer released the "Redux" update, a substantial overhaul that rewrote the game in Unity, added new animations, improved physics, enhanced visual effects, and introduced a save feature. The Redux update concluded with the developer saying "for now, it seems to have it all!" and inviting bug reports, with no mention of further planned content or a future roadmap. The only DLC ever listed is the soundtrack, which released on launch day. There have been no developer communications of any kind since July 2016, and no new content has been announced or shipped in the nearly ten years since. The game launched as a complete, self-contained arcade-style experience and the Redux update represents the definitive final version of that product.

About this game
The evil emperor Zaraaima has kidnapped the infant heir to the land of Dareca. King Kandar must call upon the aid of the seven gods of Dareca as he traverses the six worlds of his kingdom in a bid to save his son. He must face the emperor’s hordes as he battles through dark woods, slimy swamps, sinister mills, infernal volcanos, snowy mountains, golden cities and demonic castles. Each world is guarded by level bosses each sworn to bring about the king’s swift demise. To help him in his quest King Kandar can invoke god-given armour, wield different weapons and cast fanatical spells. Can the King save his son and his kingdom or will Dareca fall into the evil emperor’s grasp?
The original soundtrack will be available on installation. Music files can be found in the Cast of the Seven Godsends folder under "Soundtrack"
