Evaluation
Coffee Crisis launched on May 4, 2018 as a beat-'em-up brawler. Shortly after launch, the developer shipped a substantial content update on July 5, 2018 (Version 1.1), adding new stages, bosses, enemies, weapons, and modifiers. A follow-up content post on July 24, 2018 promoted this same wave of additions. These represent the only post-launch content activity directly related to the game.
The only DLC listed is the soundtrack, which was released on May 24, 2018 — no unreleased DLC exists. The three posts tagged as major content in the news feed (NEWS-1, NEWS-2, NEWS-3) are promotional posts for entirely different games published through a shared Steam news channel — they are not Coffee Crisis updates. There have been no Coffee Crisis-specific developer communications since July 2018.
The developer has not announced any future content, roadmap, or plans for additional updates. The game launched as a complete product, received a content expansion in its first summer, and has been quiet since. With no outstanding commitments and no sustained update pattern beyond that initial post-launch burst, the game is complete.

About this game
Coffee Crisis is a neo-rogue brawler that puts you in the shoes of the only baristas on Earth with enough heavy metal in their veins to fend off an alien assault. Play solo or join up with a friend to fight across eight unique locations ranging from your Coffee House HQ to the far reaches of outer space. Go up against an army of wild alien enemies, and the humans they have brainwashed with a variety of weapons, special moves, suplexes, and coffee!
The Smurglian race has come to Earth and they're not leaving until they steal our three most prized commodities: heavy metal, free Wifi, and coffee. Crunch through fistfuls of alien meat as you stop their invasion, and enjoy random modifiers to the enemies and action on each playthrough. It's a totally unique cup of beat 'em up action every time you play!
With over 50 different screen effects, power-ups, and enemy tweaks Coffee Crisis is never the same game twice. Take the action to Twitch and allow your audience to choose your fate, or play solo and leave it up to chance.
- Tear off fistfuls of alien meat in Neo Rogue Brawler action!
- Jam out with a pal in Local Co-Op Play!
- Encounter random modifiers that could make you an invincible killing machine or summon a swarm of raging possessed cowgirls! You'll never experience the same cup of cosmic coffee carnage twice!
- Bang your head to an incendiary heavy metal soundtrack!
- Meet heavy metal bands Pyschostick, Lords of the Trident, Nile, and Terrorizer!
- Rock out with retro metal influencers!
