Evaluation
Xenoraid: The First Space War launched on September 30, 2016 as a complete shoot'em up with a full campaign, survival modes, and local co-op. The developer shipped one post-launch update on March 13, 2017 — a feature patch (version 1.1.2) that addressed player feedback and polished several gameplay systems. That is the last communication specifically about Xenoraid. Since then, 10tons Ltd has moved on to other titles (DYSMANTLE, Skeletal Avenger, Undead Horde 2, and DYSPLACED), and no further updates, DLC, or announcements have been made for Xenoraid. The store description describes the game's content as a finished package with no mention of planned additions. There are no unreleased DLC listings. The game launched as a complete product and received a single quality-of-life patch before development concluded.
Evidence
Store description presents the game as a complete package: 40+ campaign missions, four boss fights, three survival modes, and local co-op — with no mention of future content or DLC.
10tons' developer news feed has been entirely focused on other titles (DYSMANTLE, Skeletal Avenger, Undead Horde 2, DYSPLACED) since March 2017, with no further mentions of Xenoraid.

About this game
Xenoraid is an exciting vertically scrolling shoot'em up rooted in the classic action gameplay of the genre with added modern features.
Xenoraid upgrades the basic shmup gameplay with advanced shooting mechanics. Fighters tilt left and right when moving horizontally and weapons heat up when firing. Master the mechanics and line up devastating bursts of fire!
Missions in Xenoraid a procedurally driven, so nothing needs to be memorized. The enemies act on AI, making the combat fully dynamic. Intercept the alien threat in missions that play out differently every time!
The four fighter squadron represents your lives and your weapon arsenal. Switch between the fighters in the heat of combat to bring in the best weapons for each situation, and to dodge incoming fire!
Xenoraid campaign mode features more than 40 missions with four alien capital vessels in hectic bossfights.
The events take place in a near future setting, where mankind is fighting the first space war against alien raiders. Starfighters have been improvised by adding machine guns, auto cannons, missiles, and more to existing spacecrafts.
Put your skills to the ultimate test in three endless Survival missions with online leaderboards. The Survival mode is a quick burst gameplay mode with runs lasting rarely more than 10-15 minutes.
All game modes can be played in 2-4 player local co-op (Xinput gamepads recommended, max 1 player with keyboard/mouse).
