Steam has another strong midweek sale for RPG and strategy games, and this week’s lineup covers a pretty wide slice of the genre. There are big JRPGs, grid-based tactics, deckbuilders, dungeon crawlers, cozy RPG hybrids, and even a few licensed games that become much easier to consider when the price drops.
As usual, prices and discounts can change depending on your region, and some deals may end earlier than others. So it is always worth checking the final price directly on Steam before buying. With that in mind, here are 22 turn-based RPGs worth checking out this week.
