Deal | This highly rated open-world tactical RPG is now 85% off on Steam

Urtuk: The Desolation is a turn-based tactical RPG developed and published by David Kaleta. Released on February 27, 2021, this game is now 85% off on Steam, priced at $2.09. However, this promotion is valid until March 22, 2026, and after that date, its price will return to $13.99.

Set in a low-fantasy universe, you lead a group of adventurers through an open-world in ruins. Your goal is to survive by defeating enemies, looting their bodies, and recruiting new adventurers. Based on combat and exploration, a wide range of possibilities are open to you.

Indeed, during turn-based battles on vast maps, you’ll need to employ different strategies to defeat your opponents. Use the environment to your advantage by throwing enemies against various elements, and once they’re defeated, you can assign their skills to your adventurers. Not to mention that if you perform certain actions in combat, your soldiers can also learn new skills.

Players on Steam appreciate several aspects of this game. With 88% positive ratings on a total of 2,475 reviews (2,181 positive), it’s possible to mention its gameplay, which offers players a lot of choices. In addition, its hand-drawn world and atmosphere are also highly appreciated. However, some features are random and can hinder progress, and navigating the world map can be frustrating. 

The game can also be difficult to understand due to its user interface. On the Steam Deck, some controls are hard to execute. As for its price on Steam, it has undergone numerous changes in recent months. According to SteamDB, its lowest price was $2.03 on October 27, 2025, representing an 83% discount. This is because its original price at that time was $11.99. In other words, even if this game is currently 85% off, it hasn't reached its lowest price.
