Battlestar Galactica: Deadlock is an exciting strategic space combat game set before the events of the main television series from 2004. Thanks to an ongoing sale on Steam, this well-reviewed turn-based strategy game is now completely free to keep on the platform.

Strategy game enthusiasts with a knack for Space-themed titles as well as Battlestar Galactica fans now have a serious reason to celebrate, as the acclaimed tactical game Battlestar Galactica: Deadlock, worth $39.99, is now completely free to keep on Steam. Considering that this deal is only valid till the 17th of July, interested gamers are advised to act swiftly.

Battlestar Galactica: Deadlock is a fun 3D turn-based strategy game that arrived in 2017. Developed by Black Lab games, the game is set around 3 years into the first Cylon War, seen in the reimagined series, pitting players against the Cylon forces and tasking them with protecting the 'Twelve Colonies'. The opening campaign begins with the Galactica ending up missing soon after deployment, thereby granting command of the fleet to Admiral Lucinda Cain - the highest commanding officer.

Essentially, the gameplay centers around a simultaneous turn structure where opponents confirm commands, which are then executed at the same time. Players are handed control of the aforementioned Colonial fleet from the deck of Daidalos, instructing a whole variety of ships in 3D tactical battles. The game explores the early stages of humanity's war against its self-created robots, allowing players the opportunity to experience the renowned conflict before the events of the famed television series.

Free on Steam for a limited time only

Thanks to its current free-to-keep status on Steam, the time is ripe to dive into this strategic space combat title. Judging by its 86% positive rating on Steam and 7.8/10 rating from IGN, Battlestar Galactica: Deadlock is almost sure to give its players a great time, especially those who admire the franchise and enjoy turn-based tactical strategy games.
