Evaluation
Ogre launched on Steam on October 5, 2017 and has received a steady stream of updates since then. The developer shipped three notable major updates: the console launch and largest PC update to date on May 19, 2022 (which added localization for seven languages, new achievements, formation features, and accessibility options), and a follow-up feature patch on November 16, 2022. Prior to the 2022 console push, the team also shipped several feature patches in 2021 improving AI, terrain destruction, autosave, and audio. The last developer communication of any kind was the November 2022 patch — no posts, announcements, or updates have appeared since November 16, 2022. The game has only one DLC (the soundtrack, released at launch in 2017), which has shipped. The store description makes no mention of upcoming content, season passes, or planned expansions. No roadmap, unshipped DLC, or developer statement about future content exists. The update history shows the developer has wrapped up the post-launch improvement cycle with no further commitments outstanding. The game functions as a complete digital adaptation of the tabletop wargame, and all evidence points to development having concluded.

In the warfare of the near future, one type of unit inspires such fear that even allies keep a safe distance: the Ogre. These AI-powered tanks are so powerful they're the equivalent of a battalion of tanks and infantry.
Hovercraft, tanks, marines, infantry, and the monstrous Ogres all take part in an endless world war. As a player, you take command and vie for supremacy on the irradiated battlefields of the future.
