This game had so much potential in becoming a modern-classic dungeon rpg, in my eyes.

Harebrained Schemes, in association with Paradox studio, has been creating multiple titles since their official launch 2011. Games such as "Strikefleet Omega", "Shadowrun", "Necropolis", and their most recent published; "BattleTech". - (April 2018)
Before Necropolis was released, their focus in developing games was laid in mobile;

(Quoted from their official webbsite)
Steam Pirates - iOS & Chrome 2011
Strikefleet Omega - iOS & Android 2012
Shadowrun Returns - Steam and mobile 2013
Shadowrun: Dragonfall - Steam 2014
Shadowrun Dragonfall, Directors Cut - Steam & mobile 2014
Shadowrun: Hong Kong - Steam 2015
Necropolis - Steam 2016

As John Walker, Senior Editor of the "rockpapershotgun" quoted in his article/review about Necropolis just days after its official release; "Shadowrun developers Harebrained Schemes have appeared with a very different game [...]", and finishes with "Which was an odd choice, all things concidered."

From an outside perspective, it would seem that Harebrained Schemes developed this game whilst learning the engine that they were practising. You can see that technique quite often amongst even the bigger companies, such as Blizzard, who used Unity to make Hearthstone.
Whilst reading further about this, naturally I thought that this title was never really meant to accomplish much in their eyes either. Perhaps they just decided to publish their first ever made product with the new engine, updating it along the way.

However, going into their update history of the game, you can read that the first post about the game (02 Feb 2016), states that its ready to be pre-ordered. For those who downvoted this game after it got updated to Brutal Edition 7 months after its official release, imagine how scammed the people who pre-ordered must've felt.

When all the cards has been revealed, Harebrained Schemes weren't so innocent after all.
In conclusion, this game is 100% abandoned by the developers and will not get updated.
