Deal | Steam sale slashes 50% off new fast-paced 4X strategy game with online multiplayer and "Very Positive" reviews
Steam is currently running its 4X Fest sale event, offering deals on some of the best 4X and strategy games around. Yield! Fall of Rome has yet to make a big name for itself, having only launched in January 2025, but it shows promise as a 4X game that gives you both single-player and multiplayer co-op and PvP gameplay. Yield! offers a new challenge campaign every week to keep things fresh, and it features fast-paced gameplay, with short bouts lasting as little as 15 minutes and longer bouts stretching to an hour. It packs a lot of familiar gameplay elements from the likes of the Civilization series, but opts for a slightly less intense approach without diluting the game's deeper gameplay mechanics. This makes it ideal for both 4X beginners and veterans of the genre who simply want to engage in a short round of strategy instead of dedicating hours to a campaign.
For the duration of the Steam sale, Yield! Fall of Rome is on sale for $9.99, down from the usual price of $19.99.
Yield! Fall of Rome reviews and highlights
Yield! Fall of Rome puts you in the shoes of the leader of an upstart faction in 401 AD — right around the fall of the Roman Empire. Your task is to take advantage of the fall of the Empire, expanding your territory, developing new technologies, and using warfare and political tactics to gain an advantage over your adversaries. There are eight factions to choose from, each with its own unique strengths, weaknesses, units, and buildings, and each faction has its own campaigns.
One of the unique advantages of Fall of Rome is that it has online co-op and PvP gameplay, and the shorter game format means that there are competitive ranked matches as well. According to some reviews on Steam, between the individual campaigns, the weekly challenges, and the other skirmishes, there is plenty of content to keep you occupied, and online gameplay can help increase diversity and replayability. The graphics are also somewhat unique, with an almost cute 3D isometric clay style typical of cozy games.
Yield! Fall of Rome has been available to play in Early Access for some time, now, but throughout all of that, it has maintained an impressive review score on Steam, with the game currently sitting at 75% for all time reviews and 90%, or "Overwhelmingly Positive," for reviews in the last 30 days. Most of the reviews on Steam praise the game for its fast-paced twist on the 4X genre, with some complimenting it as a simplified version of games like Civilization VI.
