Evaluation

Let Them Come launched on October 3, 2017. In the weeks following launch, the developer (Tuatara Games) shipped two balance/feature patches — on October 6 and October 10, 2017 — addressing controller tuning, item selling, bullet spread mechanics, and boss balance. A final "Happy Holidays" patch on December 28, 2017 added a new item upgrade tier, refined game-plus looping, and fixed various bugs. That December 2017 patch marks the last developer communication specific to Let Them Come. No further updates, DLC, or content announcements have been made for this game. The news posts after 2017 are all publisher-level (Versus Evil) sale and catalog announcements covering other titles in their portfolio — Let Them Come is not mentioned in any of them. There are no unreleased DLC listings, no announced future content, and no roadmap. The game launched as a complete, self-contained shoot 'em up and received a short post-launch polish period before development concluded in late 2017.
