Midweek Discounts - RPGs of June 6, 2026

A new batch of midweek discounts is live, and this one has a solid mix of turn-based RPGs, tactical games, dungeon crawlers, CRPGs, monster collectors, and strategy hybrids.

All prices below are listed in U.S. dollars, so regional pricing may vary on Steam. Still, there are several strong picks here, from huge modern RPGs to smaller indie titles that experiment with party building, resource management, grid combat, or old-school dungeon design.

Astria Ascending – $3.49, 90% off

Astria Ascending

Astria Ascending is the cheapest pick here in terms of discount depth, and at $3.49 it is much easier to approach on its own terms.

This is a hand-drawn JRPG built around a large party, job classes, elemental weaknesses, and classic turn-based encounters. It has a gorgeous look and a lot of customization, though its pacing can feel uneven. At this price, it works best for players who want a traditional JRPG with strong art direction and enough systems to tinker with.

Hellslave – $2.99, 85% off

Hellslave

Hellslave drops to $2.99, which is a pretty low entry point for a dark fantasy dungeon crawler. The hook is direct.

You make a pact with the Devil to push back a demonic invasion, then shape your character through demonic powers, gear, and build choices. It has that heavy, grimy tone that fits the genre well, and the combat leans on steady character growth rather than party micromanagement. A good one for players who want something meaner and more compact.

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth – $17.49, 75% off

Infinite Wealth

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is the big-budget RPG of the bunch. At $17.49, it is one of the strongest deals in the list, especially considering how much game is packed inside.

Ichiban Kasuga’s turn-based job system returns with party roles, positioning, improvised attacks, combo moves, summons, and the usual mountain of side content. It also brings Kazuma Kiryu back into the story, splitting the drama across Japan and Hawaii. It is long, loud, emotional, and packed with systems.

Thyria – $2.39, 85% off

Thyria World Map

Thyria is now $2.39, and it is one of the stranger RPGs in this lineup. It sends players into the dreams of cursed villagers, where exploration, turn-based battles, crafting, and Guardian management all feed into the same loop.

The appeal is in preparation. You summon Guardians, build their spell kits, gather resources, and try to survive nightmare runs without wasting too much time or taking too many risks. It has a rougher indie edge, but the concept is strong.

Born of Bread – $4.99, 80% off

Born of Bread

Born of Bread is down to $4.99, and this one sits on the lighter side of the list. It follows Loaf, a flour golem, through a colorful RPG adventure inspired by paper-style classics.

Combat uses timing, party members, enemy weaknesses, and a playful tone rather than heavy tactical pressure. It is a good fit for players looking for something warm, charming, and easy to digest between heavier RPGs.

As Far As The Eye – $4.99, 80% off

As Far as the Eye

As Far As The Eye is also $4.99, though it plays very differently from the RPGs around it. This is a turn-based roguelite management game about guiding a mobile village toward the center of the world before the waters rise.

Each run is about resources, production, travel routes, tribe skills, and adapting to events before they snowball. It is quiet, strategic, and more about planning than combat. A nice choice for players who enjoy survival systems without needing a battlefield every few minutes.

Desta: The Memories Between – $3.39, 80% off

Desta The Memories Between

Desta: The Memories Between is available for $3.39, and it brings a softer but clever tactical angle.

From ustwo games, it mixes dreamlike storytelling with turn-based dodgeball battles, where positioning, throws, rebounds, and character abilities matter. It is small compared to the RPG giants in this list, but it has a clear identity.

The result feels closer to a tactical puzzle game about memory, regret, and relationships than a standard roguelite.

Super Robot Wars 30 – $14.99, 75% off

Super Robot War 30

Super Robot Wars 30 is sitting at $14.99, which makes it a good time to jump into Bandai Namco’s long-running mecha tactics series.

This is a crossover strategy built around famous anime robots, grid-based missions, pilot upgrades, unit tuning, and huge attack animations. It is not a brutally hard tactical RPG, but that is not really the point. It is about building a dream roster of machines and watching them tear through the battlefield with style.

Terra Memoria – $4.99, 75% off

Terra Memoria Gameplay

Terra Memoria drops to $4.99, and it offers a more relaxed RPG adventure compared to the darker or heavier games here.

Six travelers investigate a shortage of magic crystals and the return of ancient machines, with exploration, puzzles, crafting, and turn-based battles tying the journey together. The 3D environments and pixel characters give it a cozy tabletop feel. It is probably best for players who want party banter, light systems, and a comfortable fantasy trip.

Wolfstride – $3.74, 75% off

Wolfstride

Wolfstride is $3.74, and it remains one of the most stylish games in the sale. Three broken misfits inherit a junkyard mecha and enter a tournament, which sounds absurd enough, but the game gives that premise a real sense of character.

Between fights, you repair, upgrade, and manage your machine. In battle, you deal with tense one-on-one mecha duels. The black-and-white art gives it a sharp look, while the writing keeps it messy in a good way.

Wasteland 3 – $11.99, 70% off

Wasteland 3

Wasteland 3 is available for $11.99, and it is still one of the easiest CRPG recommendations in this article.

inXile’s post-apocalyptic RPG sends the Desert Rangers into frozen Colorado, where every faction wants something and every choice has a cost. Combat uses action points, cover, status effects, squad builds, and plenty of positioning. The tone swings between grim, violent, and absurd, but the tactics and role-playing choices hold it together.

Inkbound – $8.99, 70% off

Inkbound RPG

Inkbound is now $8.99, and it is a strong pick for players who like roguelites with tactical structure. From Shiny Shoe, the studio behind Monster Train, it builds each run around character classes, ability upgrades, positioning, and turn-based arena fights.

It can be played solo or in co-op, which gives it a different rhythm from most games in this list. Think less traditional campaign, more repeatable buildcraft with tactical decisions every encounter.

Flint: Treasure of Oblivion – $7.49, 70% off

Flint - Treasure of Oblivion

Flint: Treasure of Oblivion is discounted to $7.49. It is a pirate RPG with real-time exploration, comic book-style storytelling, and turn-based tactical battles.

If you like pirate setting, crews, dice, cards, tactical combat, and a historical pirate backdrop with a touch of fantasy, it may be worth checking at the reduced price.

Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord – $12.24, 65% off

Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord

Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord is down to $12.24. This is not just another dungeon crawler. It is a full 3D remake of one of the foundational RPGs, with the original 1981 game logic still running underneath.

That means party creation, first-person grid exploration, deadly encounters, traps, mapping, and a high chance of punishment if you get careless. It is old-school by design, but the remake makes it far easier to approach today.

Cassette Beasts – $6.99, 65% off

Cassette beasts

Cassette Beasts is now $6.99, and it remains one of the better indie monster-collecting RPGs around. Instead of catching creatures in the usual way, players record monster forms on cassette tapes, transform during turn-based battles, and combine any two forms through the Fusion System.

The open-world structure, movement abilities, music, and monster designs all give it its own identity. It is especially worth mentioning now, with Cassette Beasts 2002 already on the radar.

Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire – $15.99, 60% off

Pillars of Eternity II with turn-based mode

Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire is currently $15.99. Obsidian’s CRPG takes players across a sea-bound archipelago full of factions, companions, quests, ship travel, and dialogue-heavy role-playing.

The key detail is its turn-based mode, which changes the pace of combat and makes every action feel more deliberate. It is dense, flexible, and still one of the better modern CRPGs for players who enjoy party builds and meaningful choices.

Bloodgrounds – $9.99, 50% off

Bloodgrounds Combat System

Bloodgrounds is $9.99, and it fits neatly into the tactical management side of the article. It mixes turn-based arena combat, gladiator training, RPG progression, and roguelite pressure. You are not only trying to win fights.

You are trying to keep your fighters alive, invest in the right upgrades, and build a stable roster before the arena takes it all away. The permanent risk gives each match a stronger bite.

The Edge of Allegoria – $8.99, 55% off

allegoria

The Edge of Allegoria is discounted to $8.99. It looks like a classic handheld RPG at first glance, but the tone is much rougher and aimed at adults.

Expect retro visuals, turn-based battles, exploration, monster encounters, and a deliberately crude sense of humor. It is not for everyone, but it has a clear target. Players who want an old-school RPG with a sharper, messier personality may want to take a look.

Sea of Stars: Sunset Edition – $17.49, 50% off

Sea of Stars

Sea of Stars: Sunset Edition is down to $17.49. Sabotage Studio’s RPG already had a strong reputation thanks to its timed hits, combo attacks, exploration, puzzles, and bright pixel art.

The Sunset Edition also includes Throes of the Watchmaker, the free DLC expansion, making this the version to point readers toward now. It is an easy fit for fans of classic JRPG structure with modern pacing and cleaner quality-of-life touches.

Wander Stars – $12.49, 50% off

Wanderer Stars RPG

Wander Stars is $12.49 and closes the list with one of the most unusual combat systems here. It follows Ringo, a young martial artist who builds attacks by combining words through a magical fighting style called Kiai.

That gives the game a mix of turn-based RPG structure and deckbuilder logic, since the words you collect shape what you can do in battle. With its anime episode format and colorful presentation, it is a good pick for players who want something less predictable than another attack-menu RPG.
