Evaluation
Rise of Ages launched into Early Access on January 28, 2019 and received consistent updates through its first few months — weekly or bi-weekly patches addressing bugs and adding features like fast travel, quest markers, water physics, and new game mechanics. The developer also announced plans for an Adventure mode (non-quest sandbox play) and a community translation platform, both of which were described as in-progress in mid-2019.
However, the last developer communication of any kind was on May 27, 2019, a small bug fix update (version 0.14.1). Since that date — now more than seven years ago — there have been no further posts, patches, announcements, or any other official communication from Anguis Game Studio. The game has never left Early Access, never reached a 1.0 release, and the promised Adventure mode and translation platform were never publicly delivered.
The store page still reflects the original Early Access description outlining ambitious plans (six eras of civilization, multiplayer, and more), but there is no evidence these features were ever completed. The prolonged and complete silence from the developer, combined with the game remaining stuck in Early Access with its original roadmap unfulfilled, raises serious questions about whether development is still ongoing.
