Evaluation

Super Sanctum TD launched on May 9, 2013 as a complete, standalone tower defense game. The store description presents it as a fully featured product with no mentions of upcoming content, seasonal updates, or expansion plans. The most recent developer communications were a feature patch (Version 1.3) on August 31, 2014 and a hotfix on September 12, 2014 — both focused on bug fixes and minor tweaks. There have been no developer posts of any kind since September 12, 2014. No DLC has ever been listed for this game. The developer has never announced future content, a roadmap, or ongoing development plans. Given over a decade of silence with no unreleased content and no announced plans, this game launched and was supported briefly as a finished product, then development concluded.
