Evaluation
Impulse of War entered Steam Early Access on February 24, 2017 and has remained there ever since. The store description lists a large number of features that were explicitly marked as still in development at launch, including several vehicle types (Hover, Spaceship, Mega-robots), many game modes (Co-op, Clan Wars, Tournaments, and more), and numerous customization and base-building options. These represent the developer's stated plans for completing the game.
However, all 26 developer news posts on record date from the January–February 2017 period, with the most recent post being a bug fix published on February 28, 2017. There has been no developer communication of any kind since that date. The game has been in Early Access for over nine years with no updates, no roadmap revisions, and no explanation for the prolonged silence, while the store page continues to advertise unfinished features as coming in the future. This makes it impossible to confirm whether development is still ongoing or has been quietly abandoned.
Evidence
Bug fix patch published on February 28, 2017 — the last developer communication on record. No updates of any kind have been published since this date.
Store description lists numerous features explicitly marked 'in development,' including vehicle types, game modes, customization options, and social features — indicating the game is far from the developer's originally stated vision for completion.
