Evaluation
Golem Gates launched into Early Access on December 9, 2017, and officially released as a completed game on March 28, 2018. The launch update explicitly described the game as finished: "The completed game is now available!" and included the final campaign book and remaining single-player content.
Following the 1.0 release, the developer shipped one additional content update on May 2, 2018, adding new maps, trials, and cosmetic skins. From there, the studio continued with feature patches and bug fixes through July 1, 2019, which is the last recorded developer communication. That July 2019 update addressed gameplay balance, performance improvements, and minor bug fixes, but did not announce any future content plans.
No additional content has been released or announced since July 1, 2019. The only DLC on the store is the Golem Gates Soundtrack, released April 18, 2018. There are no unreleased DLC entries, no roadmaps, and no developer statements indicating further content is planned. The developer has been silent since July 1, 2019, which is now several years in the past. The game appears to have been delivered as a complete product with its final post-launch patch on that date.
Evidence
Developer announced 'The completed game is now available!' as Early Access ended, with the final campaign book and all remaining single-player content included.
Final recorded developer communication: a feature and bug-fix patch addressing survival difficulty, performance, and controller mode issues. No future content announced.

About this game
In a desolate land ravaged by ancient wars, you are the Harbinger, an outcast with the ability to manipulate and command nanites from ‘The Ash’– a leftover power manifesting itself in your barren world’s atmosphere. Ancient warrior machines spawn from Golem Gates while an unseen force compels you to take up arms. Wielding the power hidden within ‘The Ash’, you’ll battle the golems and unravel the mysteries surrounding their long-lost creators.
Golem Gates blends elements of real-time strategy (RTS) and card battle. Collect cards (called Glyphs) containing your forces and powers. Strategically weave them into a deck to prepare for battle, then create them on the field to defeat your enemies in fast-paced and highly tactical battles with streamlined management to keep focus on the action. Play singleplayer or multiplayer in local matches with bots, online matches with other players, single and co-op Survival, solo challenge scenarios and a full single player campaign.

- Dynamic Diversity: 100 Glyphs provide the options for your strategy: Units, buildings, traps, buffs, debuffs, and techs. Create your own unique battle plan and counter your opponents'. Randomized drawing puts a slightly different spin on every battle - eliminating monotonous build sequences, rewarding deckbuilding skill and strategic planning in equal measure.
- Streamlined Strategy: Build your forces and enhance them with Glyphs; no production or research buildings needed. Capture resources in King of the Hill style without dedicated gathering units. Keep your focus where it belongs: on the battle.
- Fight Where You Have Sight: Glyphs can be played almost anywhere you have an existing presence. Add more forces to a battle to turn the tide, transform a scouting party into an army, place emergency defenses to respond to the enemy, or hide an outpost in a direction the enemy doesn't expect. The choices are yours, but beware: the enemy will do the same and with the right Glyph your forces can be destroyed as fast as they were created.
