Evaluation
Zotrix launched out of Early Access on July 24, 2015, reaching version 1.0 after five months in Early Access. Following launch, the developer issued several feature patches and bug fixes through early 2017, addressing things like gamepad support, language options, and economy balancing. The most notable post-launch communication was an August 22, 2016 announcement stating that ZeroBit Games had decided to pursue a sequel — Zotrix 2 — rather than release additional DLC for the original game. This effectively signals that further content development for Zotrix was redirected to a separate product. The final developer post for the game was a minor feature patch on March 15, 2017, adding French keyboard layout support. There have been no developer communications of any kind since that date, and no DLC or expansions were ever released. The store description does not reference any planned content, live service features, or ongoing updates. The game shipped as a complete standalone product, and the developer publicly stated they were moving on to a sequel rather than expanding this title.
Evidence
Developer announced Zotrix 2 as a new game instead of creating DLC for the original, signaling that future development effort was being redirected away from this title.
Zotrix officially left Early Access and reached version 1.0, completing its initial development cycle.

About this game
Zotrix is an arcade space shooter inspired by early shooter games on arcade machines from 80's and early 90's. Designed for all generations it contains missions with nice and colorful enemies while focused on the arcade element of the gameplay.
This being said, this is an upfront disclaimer about a lot of repetitiveness in the gameplay as it is the case with older arcade games.
You dive into deep space escorting a cargo ship from your fleet. Quickly you realize you're within the boundaries of enemy territory. Chains of enemy ships are lining up one by one while you perform maneuvers to clear the perimeter and avoid being cleared out yourself. Victory doesn't come easy as you have to earn every single space credit out there fighting in over 50 missions.
By clearing your mission objectives, reward is coming to your account and you're ready to upgrade your ship with decoys, shields, laser boosters and much more. You can even buy a new, better fighter. As you progress, you will get engaged in trading earned resources such as cobalt, nickel, palladium and others in trading room every space station features.
Build your strategy by carefully choosing routes from your space station towards another and have your take in every mission. Each mission will pit a challenge in front of you and most of the missions will get you to face a bigger and badder alien ships.
