Evaluation
Operation: Matriarchy is a science fiction first-person shooter that released on January 29, 2016. The store description presents it as a complete, self-contained game with no mention of DLC, expansions, seasonal content, or post-launch updates. There are no DLC listings associated with the game, and the developer has made no announcements about future content for this title. The two developer news posts on record are unrelated to Operation: Matriarchy entirely — they announce releases of two completely different games (REMEDIUM: Sentinels and Tetragon) from the same publisher. The game appears to have launched as a finished product with no post-launch content cycle, and there is no evidence of any planned or delivered updates beyond the base game.

About this game
Operation: Matriarchy is a science fiction first-person shooter.
In the 24th century mankind has formed itself into the Federation of Earth, and has colonized several other planets. However, around 2350 a mysterious virus ravages the colony planet of Velia, targeting only the females within the population. They are transformed into brutal killing-machines, while the males are enslaved for use as sustenance or as subjects for genetic experiments. Having now evolved into an aggressive hive mind, the Velians turn on the Federation, instigating a brutal war.
The game begins seven years into the conflict, when the player character, Senior Sergeant Paul Armstrong of the Federation, finds himself forced to take on the Velians when they attack his ship.
