Evaluation
Shock Tactics launched on April 11, 2017 as a complete, self-contained single-player strategy game. The developer shipped a handful of bug fix and maintenance patches in the weeks and months following launch — the last recorded update was a Steam Cloud save fix on August 12, 2017. Since then, Point Blank Games has posted no further news, announced no DLC or expansions, and shown no roadmap or plans for additional content. The store description presents the game as a finished product with no mention of planned updates or future content. With no developer communication of any kind since August 12, 2017, and no post-launch content cycle beyond routine patching, the game was effectively complete at launch.
Evidence
