Deal | Loved by 87% of players, this action RPG with roguelike mechanics is 80% off on Steam

Dreamscaper is an action RPG with roguelike mechanics in which you embody Cassidy, a young girl who has suffered a major trauma. Developed by the American studio Afterburner Studios and published by Maple Whispering Limited on August 5, 2021, it is currently priced at $4.99 until April 17, 2026, according to SteamDB. But after that date, this 80% discount will end, and the price will return to $24.99.

This game has two different gameplay modes. Indeed, when Cassidy is asleep, you’re immersed in her dreams and nightmares, where you’ll have to face numerous enemies. But when she’s awake, you can explore the town of Redhaven, make friends, and unlock upgrades that will help you to become stronger.

The goal is to overcome your nightmares, and to achieve this, you’ll need to defeat various creatures, execute precise movements, and have good timing. Several weapons are available, and they’re all unique. In other words, they have special effects and abilities, allowing you to vary your gameplay. However, the difficulty will increase when you face bosses that embody fear, loss, or negativity.

In addition, you can also discover powerful artifacts to boost your stats, and don’t forget to upgrade your equipment. Finally, you can use powers that allow you to control your environment.

Thus, among the 3,143 reviews published on Steam, 87% are positive. On Metacritic, the reviews are also good, with a Metascore of 80 and a user score of 7.6. However, several players have left negative reviews, citing a poor storyline and significant difficulty right from the start of the game. The gameplay is also quite repetitive, as you’ll have to repeat the same actions, especially when Cassidy is awake, in order to progress. Finally, it’s worth noting that this 80% discount has occurred numerous times in recent months.
