Evaluation
Nation Red launched on September 3, 2009 and received a steady stream of feature updates and new content over the following years — new maps, game modes, achievements, weapons, and multiplayer improvements. The developer's last update to the game itself was version 1.00.1009 on October 29, 2015, which added achievements and UI improvements. By June 2016, the developer announced they were shifting focus to a new game called Versus, and on October 26, 2016 that new game launched on Steam. No Nation Red updates have been posted since October 2015, and there are no unreleased DLC entries, no announced future content for Nation Red, and no roadmap or promise of further development. The developer's attention moved on to a separate product. Nation Red appears to have concluded its active development cycle as of late 2015/early 2016, with the developer's October 2016 post marking their final public communication about Nation Red in the context of launching Versus.

August 17, 1977
Scattered groups of zombies infiltrate remote Midwestern towns. Incapable of using tools or weapons, the invaders are resisted until they retreat back into the desert. Special elimination posses are set up to hunt down any of the surviving undead. Six weeks after the squads started their search-and-destroy mission, the last known zombie was shot and killed.
Present-day
Over thirty years had passed when a truck driver traveling down a desolate Arizona road plows into a wall of undead. Before the driver's phone signal went dead, he reported some were carrying guns... They're back and now they are hunting us.
