The Summer Steam Sale has arrived, and yes, in this economy, discounts are a very welcome guest. So in this article, we will be suggesting 5 games that you might wanna try on your Steam Deck. Don’t worry, this won’t hurt your wallet!
Here are 5 Games You Might Wanna Try Out While on Sale
Pick #1: Arms of God
For our first pick. Let’s start it off with a vampire survivor-like/reverse bullet hell game. Launched in early access last June 8, this game features DOOM and Diablo-like character and environmental designs. Just like its progenitor Vampire Survivor, you will be tasked to survive waves of enemies while incrementally upgrading your arsenal by combining weapons, modifying them, and through meta progression upgrades.
While not on sale as of the moment, you can get it bundled with another game from the same genre called Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor for PHP 540.
Pick #2: Resident Evil (RE) Franchise
Capcom is also having its summer sale. As most of us know, RE is the father of survival horror games, which takes you on a roller coaster ride through zombie-infested mansions, cities, and underground laboratories. All this while you manage your resources and try to solve puzzles.
You can get Resident Evil games with up to 80% discount. May it be the latest RE 9 Requiem (20% discount) for PHP 2,472 or one of the remakes, like the RE 4 Remake (75% discount) for PHP 448.
Pick #3: Vampire Crawlers
The developer of the very successful Vampire Survivor game that birthed a new genre has just made an old-school dungeon crawler game with survivor-like game mechanics.
Vampire Crawlers is very addictive! It combines survivor-like mechanics with a simple deck-building and turn-based system. You can get it for PHP 314.10 (10% discount).
Pick #4: Mass Effect Legendary Edition
We can truly say that the Steam Deck was made for retro emulation and older triple-A titles. The Mass Effect Legendary Edition, which includes Mass Effect 1,2 and 3, is one of the best examples, as the games included in this bundle run smoothly on the Steam Deck.
Mass Effect is a third-person shooter with fairly deep RPG elements wrapped with a very engaging narrative that will surely have you immersed in its rich world-building. You can get it now for PHP 208 (92% discount).
Pick #5 Bloomtown: A Different Story
This game is a narrative JRPG mixing turn-based combat, monster taming, and social RPG set in a 1960s Americana world. This will scratch your turn-based RPG itch for sure, and the monster taming element is a great addition to the mix. You can get this game for PHP 306 (60% discount).
