Urja
Released Jan 2015
The king is deceitful, the queen is wicked, and the bishop unholy. In every land it’s the same. Corrupted knights and power hungry pawns. It’s time for change. You've waited long enough. Be brave. Be daring. Be the last one standing.

Evaluation
Urja launched on January 9, 2015. The store description mentions a seasonal competition system with promises of "new maps, game mods, bug fixes and more" as each season passes, but this language appears to be original launch copy — there is no developer news of any kind to suggest this content was ever delivered. All four developer news posts scanned contained no development-relevant information. There have been no patch notes, no content updates, no announcements, and no developer communications of any kind recorded since launch. The seasonal content and leaderboard prize system described on the store page show no signs of having been built out. Given over a decade of silence with zero post-launch updates, this game appears to have launched as a finished product with no subsequent content development.
Evidence
All four developer news posts contained no development-relevant content. No patches, updates, announcements, or developer communications have been recorded since the January 9, 2015 launch.
Store description promises seasonal competitions, new maps, game mods, and bug fixes as each season passes — language that appears to be original launch copy with no evidence of follow-through.
