Deal | Set in antiquity, this city builder loved by 83% of players is 50% off on Steam

During Antiquity, Rome was the most powerful city in Europe, and centuries later, it continues to fascinate many people. And if you want to build your own city and contribute to its glory, Citadelum is a city builder currently 50% off on Steam. Developed by Abylight Barcelona and published by Abylight Studios, it is currently on sale for $12.49 instead of $24.99. But be warned, because this offer ends on May 21, 2026.

In this game, you'll start with a small village, and your goal is to expand it. But to do that, you'll need to find and gather resources located around you, such as stone and food. Build structures to meet your citizens' needs and attract new inhabitants.

This will allow you to expand your city, but also to create legions. Exploration is also important in this game, and you’ll need to explore the map to liberate other villages in automated battles to establish trade routes. However, you’ll need to keep an eye on the Senate and the gods of the Pantheon. Indeed, you’ll have to complete various missions and earn the gods’ favor. But if you disappoint them, they won’t hesitate to attack your city and destroy your buildings.

Although Citadelum doesn’t have many reviews on Steam (993), 83% of them are positive. It is loved for its features, graphics, story, and sandbox mode. However, the missions are repetitive and lack creativity. Many players feel that the game is superficial and that the city-building mechanics need improvement. Finally, according to SteamDB, this is not its lowest price, as it was available for $9.74 on March 18, 2026, with a 61% discount.
