Evaluation
Deadbeat Heroes launched on October 10, 2017. Following launch, the developer shipped one feature patch (version 1.1.0 on October 18, 2017) addressing player feedback, and a Halloween-themed seasonal update on October 25, 2017. That Halloween update is the last recorded communication from the developer. No further updates, announcements, or content have been posted since October 25, 2017 — nearly nine years ago. There is no DLC, no season pass, no roadmap, and no announced future content. The store description presents the game as a complete product with a fixed feature set. The developer has made no statements about additional content or ongoing development plans. The game launched as a finished product and received only minor post-launch polish before going quiet.
Evidence
Deadbeat Heroes officially launched on October 10, 2017.
Halloween seasonal update added pumpkins, a new cauldron decoration, and Franken-Goon enemies. This is the last developer communication on record.

About this game
London’s Super Heroes have been vanquished. Only the Deadbeat Heroes can put an end to dastardly evil-doers and their rotten plans!
Deadbeat Heroes is a movement based 3D brawler where you (and a friend) dodge bullets, steal super powers and crack wise. You play as the new wave of ‘Deadbeat Heroes’.

You will (both) vie to win the hearts of the public with your amazing daring do, while not getting shot, sliced, lasered, exploded, vaporized, eaten...
