Evaluation

Vroom Kaboom launched on August 13, 2018 as a free-to-play game. The only DLC, a "Premium" pack, released on August 14, 2018 — one day after launch. The sole post-launch developer communication is a feature patch (version 1.01) published on September 14, 2018, which addressed UI improvements, gameplay tweaks, and bug fixes. There have been no developer communications of any kind since September 14, 2018 — nearly eight years of silence. No future content was ever announced, no roadmap was published, and no additional DLC was ever listed. The store description makes no mention of planned updates, seasons, or ongoing content. The game shipped as a complete package, received one early patch, and the developer has been silent ever since. All content that was ever planned appears to have shipped at or immediately after launch.

Evidence

Patch 1.01 released with tutorial improvements, UI fixes, AI tweaks, and bug fixes. This is the last and only developer communication after launch.

DECK BUILDING

With over 70 different vehicles and units to choose from, build a deck that fits any strategy and playstyle. Play and win matches to gain new cards and scraps, and in turn unlock new and more powerful units to add to your collection.

Collectible cards range from motorbikes, trucks, cars, tanks, helicopters, missiles to planes… oh my!

DEPLOY, DRIVE, DESTROY!

Strategically use your cards to summon vehicles and DEPLOY them on the battlefield. DRIVE, jump, shoot, bomb and ram your way to victory! Crash into your enemy’s vehicles, blow up their defenses and DESTROY their oil tanks to secure the win.
Don't be a rookie, try summoning multiple vehicles at the same time!

We’ve even added a set of single player missions to complete for each faction.
