Evaluation
Weapon of Choice DX originally launched on Steam on September 23, 2015. On June 17, 2024, the developer (Nathan at Mommy's Best Games) released a significant "DX" update — free to existing owners — that upgraded the game to 4K resolution, improved performance to a consistent 60fps, rebalanced enemies, and polished the UI and gameplay. Notably, the developer framed this update as a celebratory send-off tied to the announcement of their next game, ChainStaff, explicitly thanking players and describing Weapon of Choice as their "oldest indie game." The tone of the post reads as a fond farewell to the title rather than a signal of ongoing development. The store description also ends with a prompt to "CHECK OUT MOMMY'S BEST GAMES NEXT RELEASE," reinforcing that the developer's attention has moved on. The only DLC — the game's soundtrack — was released back in November 2015 and there are no unreleased DLC entries. All of this points to a game that is now complete and polished, with the June 2024 DX update serving as its final content milestone.
Evidence
Developer released a free DX update (4K graphics, 60fps, gameplay rebalancing) to celebrate the reveal of their next game, ChainStaff. The post thanks players warmly and describes Weapon of Choice as their oldest indie game, framing this as a capstone update rather than the beginning of new content.
The only DLC — the game's soundtrack — was released in November 2015. No unreleased DLC exists.
