Evaluation
Phantom Signal launched on January 16, 2018 and received a burst of post-launch patches and updates through March 20, 2018 — the last recorded developer communication. The most notable addition was a Survival game mode with daily tournaments, added in version 1.0.6 on March 20, 2018. After that date, the developer went completely silent and has not posted any updates, patches, or announcements.
The store description mentions plans for "3 DLCs for fans of the series and launching PvP tournaments," but the only DLC that ever materialized was a soundtrack released on February 12, 2018. No DLC packs were ever listed on the store, and the developer made no further announcements about them after launch. Given that all developer activity ceased by March 20, 2018 — over eight years ago — and no promised DLC was ever announced or listed as a store product, these plans were never acted upon and the game has long since settled into its final state.
The game shipped as a complete, self-contained experience and received a handful of quality-of-life patches in the weeks following launch. No additional content has arrived, been announced, or been listed as forthcoming in the years since. The game is best treated as a finished product as of its last update on March 20, 2018.
Evidence

About this game
A drifting space ship wakes up due to unusual interference in space. Almost right after this, an unknown enemy attacks the ship. To withstand this new threat and reach the source of the signal, the ship’s command module activates an industrial fabricator, which you take control of.
Your tasks include constructing an energy grid, procuring resources, upgrading the ship and destroying enemies.
Every enemy type has its own peculiarities. They have their own strengths and weaknesses.
As you approach the phantom signal, you encounter missions that demand a strategic approach to constructing and defending your base.
The universe won’t reveal its secrets to the first person that comes along. You’ll need to travel a long and complicated path through multiple star systems to find the source of the signal.
Invite your friends and compete for the top spots while completing missions!
We use Steam Leaderboards and Steam Cloud to make this happen.
If you complete the game faster than us, get one of 52 achievements!
Trading Cards will be available in the game after Valve lets us activate them.
We’re also planning on releasing 3 DLCs for fans of the series and launching PvP tournaments ;-)
