Since I have been consistently scanning for weekly deals from multiple storefronts, I’ve come to realize you can usually find a good opportunity to buy something. For the most part, there’s always an RPG or some other type of turn-based strategy game going through a sale, with low prices that are very close to being unbelievable relative to what they offer, well worth looking into.
Steam has some really unbelievable sales going on right now, and it’s not even one of their big annual events. If you love turn-based RPGs, the platform has tons of deals on games that should be part of every fan’s library, so be sure not to miss these deals before they’re gone.
From restored classics of the ’80s and ’90s to some of the best titles of the last decade, some of these deals seem too good to be true for the games they’re offering!
Cassette Beasts
- Developer: Bytten Studio
- Release Date: 26 April, 2023
- Platform: Windows, Linux, Xbox, Switch, Android, iOS
- Steam Page
If you’re a fan of monster-training, then you definitely don’t want to miss Cassette Beasts‘ slick, stylish take on the classic gameplay. By recording your captured critters to old-school music tapes, you can replay and remix them, fusing monsters to create powerful hybrids on the fly!
If you’ve been waiting to dive into the world of Cassette Beasts, now is a great time – Steam has the game listed at $7.99 until 27 April, a 60% savings off its standard price of $19.99. The New Wirral Edition, which includes all the DLC to date, is 52% off at $14.58, and Cassette Beasts is also included as part of several bundles.
Grandia HD Remaster
- Developer: GAME ARTS, Sickhead Games
- Release Date: 15 October, 2019
- Platform: Windows, PlayStation, Xbox, Switch
- Steam Page
Grandia is one of the best JRPGs of all time, but unless you were a genre superfan in the ’90s you might have missed it. Luckily, this PS1 classic has a modern remaster that keeps the legendary story intact with enhanced visuals, so you can experience Grandia as the masterpiece it’s always been.
The HD Remasters of both Grandia and its equally-fantastic sequel are both 50% off on Steam until 27 April. If you’ve never played them, or if you’re in the mood to revisit the glory days, you can get them for $9.99 each rather than $19.99.
Chains of Freedom
- Developer: Nordcurrent
- Release Date: 15 April, 2025
- Platform: Windows, PlayStation, Xbox
- Steam Page
If you’re in the mood for something that’s a little bit XCOM and a little bit X-Files, give Chains of Freedom a try. As the commander of a squad of mercenaries, you’ll investigate a conspiracy threatening a teetering nation. Will your team survive as events take a turn for the strange… and dangerous?
Chains of Freedom is celebrating its one-year anniversary this month, and is listed at 40% off on Steam until 23 April. That brings it from $24.99 down to $14.99, so if you try the free demo and decide to dig deeper into the story, be sure to grab it before the sale ends.
Warhammer 40,000: Gladius – Relics of War
- Developer: Proxy Studios
- Release Date: 12 July, 2018
- Platform: Windows, Linux
- Steam Page
Given that the setting is focused entirely on conflict, you might not think Warhammer 40k would make an especially compelling 4X Strategy game. Gladius proves that theory wrong, dropping the 41st Millennium’s iconic factions onto a planet and challenging them to explore, expand, exploit, and exterminate – especially that last part.
Gladius does a great job of bringing each faction’s tabletop flavor to the hex-grid, and at 90% off it’s hard to argue with the price. You’ll have to act fast, though, as the game is only discounted to $3.99 for a few more hours as I write this – soon it will be back up to $39.99.
King Arthur: Knight’s Tale
- Developer: NeoCoreGames
- Release Date: 26 April, 2022
- Platform: Windows, PlayStation, Xbox
- Steam Page
In this dark sequel to the classic tale of Camelot, King Arthur has returned as an undead monstrosity who must be stopped at all costs. As Mordred, you’ll need to reunite the Knights of the Round Table and command them in battle against the horrors of a corrupted Avalon.
Knight’s Tale and its Roman-themed spinoff Legion IX are both discounted 70% on Steam, giving you plenty of bloody battles to fight. The discount ends on 21 April for both games, so act fast if you want to get them for $5.99 each as opposed to $19.99.
Edge Of Eternity
- Developer: Midgar Studio
- Release Date: 8 June, 2021
- Platform: Windows, PlayStation, Xbox, Switch
- Steam Page
A turn-based JRPG in a strange but beautiful world, with a lovely soundtrack and cast, from a small French studio – of course, I’m talking about Edge of Eternity! While it might not have caused a global sensation, this JRPG from Midgar Studio is well worth a play, especially given that it’s frequently on sale.
Edge of Eternity is just $4.49 on Steam until 24 April, letting you save 85% off its standard price of $29.99. The Deluxe Edition, which includes the artbook, Yasunori Mitsuda soundtrack, and some extra skins and other bonuses, is 63% off at $14.62.
Arco
- Developer: Franek, Max Cahill, Bibiki, Fayer
- Release Date: 15 August, 2024
- Platform: Windows, Mac, Switch

A pixelated romp through a Mesoamerican fantasy setting, Arco will test your reflexes just as much as your tactical planning. Blending turn-based battles with bullet-hell mechanics, it offers four playable characters with unique playstyles and dozens of enemies to contend with.
Arco has a free demo available to try on Steam, and if you like it the full game is 50% off until 24 April, taking it from $19.99 down to $9.99. It’s also available as part of several bundles, letting you get even more savings as you expand your collection.
TemTem

Temtem is slowly growing into a franchise in and of itself, which is great to see. Through 21 April, you can get the original game on Steam for just $8.99, an 80% savings off its usual price of $44.99. The various Deluxe Editions aren’t quite as deeply discounted, but unless you really want the cosmetics that come with them, they aren’t necessary.
WrestleQuest
- Developer: Mega Cat Studios
- Release Date: 22 August, 2023
- Platform: Windows, Linux, PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, Android, iOS
- Steam Page
With over-the-top storylines and larger-than-life characters, the world of pro wrestling makes for a perfect JRPG.
WrestleQuest puts you in the tights of an up-and-coming rookie battling your way to the championship while exploring worlds themed around legendary real-life wrestlers. Expect cameos from the likes of “Macho Man” Randy Savage, Andre the Giant, and more in this tribute to the world’s most bombastic sport.

Subset Games makes a mighty fine roguelite, and Into The Breach is arguably their finest.

There’s no randomness, and all enemy moves are telegraphed ahead of time, so the only thing that matters is how you use your mechs’ powers to their full effect!
Into The Breach is one game that belongs in every Turn-Based Lover’s collection, so if you’re still missing out on this modern classic you can get it on Steam for 60% off until 26 April, taking it from $14.99 down to $5.99.

The Crazy Hyper-Dungeon Chronicles
- Developer: Fix-A-Bug
- Release Date: 23 October, 2025
- Platform: Windows, Mac, Linux
- Steam Page
As its name implied, The Crazy Hyper-Dungeon Chronicles doesn’t take itself too seriously, but don’t let that fool you – under all the pop culture references and gags is a rock-solid RPG with a blend of turn-based and real-time elements.
The old-school fantasy look and fast-paced modern gameplay make this a great find for any RPG fan.

The SteamWorld games have a reputation for heartfelt character writing and storytelling in their mechanized worlds, and Quest is no different. This fantasy tale of knights and magic is one of the series’ best, and its card-based battles allow for some clever combos and party-building.
SteamWorld Quest: Hand of Gilgamech is a whopping 90% off on Steam until 24 April, letting you get this $24.99 game for a paltry $2.49.

History and the occult make a great pair, and The Thaumaturge merges the two with an engrossing story and compelling RPG gameplay. In Warsaw at the dawn of the 20th century, the ability to commune with demons is a powerful asset – provided you don’t let your hubris overwhelm you, of course.

This wonderfully weird, visually-stark tactical roguelite is combo heaven. It takes a bit of getting used to, but once you’ve mastered the classes and learned the flow of the battlefield, Othercide lets your crew of femme fatales dance around even the deadliest boss without fear, and it feels great. Definitely check it out and get hyped for the upcoming spiritual sequel, Ex Sanguis.

The Bard’s Tale: Trilogy
- Developer: Krome Studios, inXile Entertainment
- Release Date: 14 August, 2018
- Platform: Windows, Mac, Xbox
- Steam Page
The Bard’s Tale was a series that helped invent RPGs as we know them today. With its first-person view, old-school fantasy vibe, and classic gameplay, the 2018 remaster is about as classic as it gets.
Not only does it include all three games, but it also includes a “Legacy Mode” for diehards who want the true ’80s PC-gaming experience.
Whether you’re a longtime fan or a curious newcomer, you can get The Bard’s Tale Trilogy on Steam for just $2.99 until 29 April, saving 80% off the standard price of $14.99.

Divinity: Original Sin – The Source Saga
- Developer: Larian Studios
- Release Date: 27 October, 2015
- Platform: Windows, Mac, Linux
- Steam Page
If you loved Baldur’s Gate 3 (and statistically, you probably did), you should absolutely check out the games that put Larian Studios on the map before Astarion, Shadowheart, and the rest came along.
Divinity: Original Sin has just as much grand fantasy adventure with thrilling combat and memorable characters, all in Larian’s own world of Rivellon.
You can get Divinity: Original Sin 1 and 2 together as part of the Source Saga Bundle, saving 30% off the total price of both games. That doesn’t include any DLC, but it does provide the Enhanced and Definitive Editions of each base game, respectively, and lets you pay just $59.48 instead of the $84.98 you’d pay separately. Trust me, if you play one you’ll want to play the other.
