It"s time for yet another smaller game sales event at Valve"s Steam digital store. This time, strategy gamers are getting some love with the launch of Tower Defense Fest which began earlier today on the Steam site. Games that involve units that storm castles or fight against sci-fi laser turrets are just some of the games that are given the tower defense label.
The event itself offers deep discounts on town defense games along with strategy titles that might be considered to be "tower defense adjacent". Just a few of the games that have deep discounts during the event include:
- Orcs Must Die! 3 (80 percent off)
- Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville Deluxe Edition (90 percent off)
- Dungeon Defenders (80 percent off)
- Bloons TD 6 (50 percent off)
- The Riftbreaker (45 percent off)
- Dome Keeper (60 percent off)
- Defense Grid: The Awakening (75 percent off)
- Stronghold: Definitive Edition (34 percent off)
In addition to the deep discounts on many tower defense games, Steam users can also claim the Tower Defense animated avatar, along with the skull explosion animated sticker and the marching animated frame. These discounts will be going away at 10 am Pacific time (1 pm Eastern time) on Monday, August 5.
Steam will have a number of other niche sale events over the next few months. Here are the scheduled sales to look forward to:
- Rhythm Fest 2024: August 19- 26 August
