Evaluation

These Doomed Isles launched into Early Access in September 2023 and graduated to its full 1.0 release on October 30, 2024. The 1.0 launch post explicitly celebrated completing every goal on the Early Access roadmap — including a full 34-mission campaign, Challenge Mode, and meta-progression — and framed the release as the culmination of development. Following the 1.0 launch, the developer shipped only minor bug fix and balance patches (Patch 1.0.4 on November 12, 2024 and Patch 1.0.5 on November 19, 2024), with no new content updates, no roadmap for future expansions, and no announcements of planned DLC. There are no unreleased DLC items listed on the store. The most recent developer communication was a Steam Autumn Sale post on November 27, 2024 — a promotional post, not a content update. There have been no developer communications of any kind since that date. The game shipped as a complete product at 1.0, the Early Access roadmap was fully delivered, and no further content has been signaled.

Evidence

Game officially launched out of Early Access into 1.0, with the developer stating they achieved every single goal on the Early Access roadmap. The 1.0 release introduced campaign mode, challenge mode, and meta-progression as the final major features.

Fourth and final god (Inari) added during Early Access alongside a revised roadmap focused on polishing the core experience rather than adding more gods — signaling this was the last major content addition before 1.0.

About this game

Play god in this survival city-builder with roguelike deckbuilding mechanics. Harvest cards to raise land from the sea, build settlements for your followers and rain fire upon waves of invaders. Choose from 4 gods with unique cards, playstyles and abilities to lead their civilisations to victory in strategic run-based gameplay!

Expand from humble beginnings to a sprawling island chain with farms, industry, fortifications and more, as you discover ever more advanced buildings and strategies that will help you answer your followers’ prayers and win the run!

Harvest cards to craft the deck you want. Manage the cards in your deck to ensure you can survive until the next harvest. Find powerful synergies with over 300 cards to play with to overcome the challenges in your way.

Will you survive these doomed isles? You'll face increasing challenges as waves of invaders and powerful bosses attempt to undo all of your hard work, turning your settlement to rubble and crushing any of your followers who dare to stand in their way. Learn from your failures and perfect your strategies to complete your followers’ prayers and reign victorious.

Each of the gods have unique god powers along with a host of powerful cards you can wield to carry your civilisation to survival. Rain meteors down on invaders or stir up a storm to sink them at sea; stack up powerful status effects on your enemies and make sure they think twice about invading again!
