Deal | This action RPG set during the French Revolution in Paris in 1789 is 90% off on Steam

In 1789, Paris experienced one of the most important episodes in its history with the French Revolution. And while many changes took place, some games have decided to give another version of history. This is the case with Steelrising, an action RPG developed by Spiders and released on September 8, 2022, in which Louis XVI suppressed this event with his mechanical army.

Currently priced at $4.99 instead of $49.99 until March 11, 2026, according to SteamDB, you embody Aegis, a mechanical creature designed by engineer Vaucanson to protect the queen. Your goal is simple, as you must save the revolution, but you will have to face many creatures. The King's mechanical soldiers are present throughout the city, and you'll need to dodge their attacks by jumping or performing parries. Attacking your enemies is also important, so don’t hesitate to deliver devastating blows by using various weapons and skills.

You can define your fighting style, and Paris can become your playground by using grapples, wagons, and secret passages. You will have to change the course of history and meet historical figures such as Marie-Antoinette, Lafayette, or Robespierre. Looking at reviews on Steam, Steelrising is rated “Mostly Positive” with 72% positive reviews out of more than 6,500 reviews. On Metacritic, while its Metascore is 68, its user score is 8.6. Thus, it has qualities such as its story, its universe blending the French Revolution with steampunk, and its gameplay.

But like all games, it also has its flaws. Indeed, there are numerous optimization issues, some players find the combat clunky, and the animations have also been criticized. Finally, since the end of 2025, it has already been available at this price, and there have been numerous discounts in previous years, even if they were less significant.
