Evaluation
Hunters of the Dead launched on September 4, 2014. The only post-launch developer communication on record is a feature patch update from January 13, 2015 (v1.2), which added Steam trading cards, audio/screen options, a fast-forward battle option, and minor bug fixes. That post noted the team would "do their best" to release Mac and Linux versions, but no follow-up communications, patches, or Mac/Linux releases have been recorded since then. There is no DLC, no roadmap, no season pass, and no subsequent developer activity of any kind. The game appears to have shipped as a complete, self-contained product and received a single round of post-launch polish before development activity ceased entirely. With no outstanding commitments and no sustained update pattern, the game is considered complete as of the January 2015 patch.
Evidence
v1.2 patch shipped adding Steam cards, sound/screen options, fast-forward in battle, and bug fixes. Developer mentioned intent to release Mac and Linux versions but no follow-up was ever published. This is the last known developer communication.
Store description presents the game as a complete, self-contained experience with a defined feature set: permadeath, randomly generated content, 16 upgrades, 5 hunter classes, and 2 unlockable difficulty levels. No mention of planned updates, future content, or ongoing development.

About this game
“Hunters of the Dead” is a survival/roguelike tower defense game with some micro management elements. You have to rescue your fellow Hunters and with their help locate and destroy Dracula. Dracula has raised an army of undead and has taken the whole city. You must defend your base while in the meantime you have to explore the buildings around and salvage what you can. However, better stay close to your base because as you get further and further you will be finding harder and more frequent battles.
You can send your hunters to get healed in the hospitals or trained in the graveyards, but you won’t be able to use them in the battle. That means that you will have fewer units to defend your base in case a battle occurs! So you should manage your Hunters with caution. In case your base gets destroyed, you shouldn’t be discouraged. You will be able to use what resources you have acquired to make upgrades and restart stronger.
Happy Hunting!
