Fans of demolition and heavy machinery sims can grab a serious bargain right now. Demolish Games S.A.’s Demolish & Build 2017 is discounted by 94% on Steam until April 20, dropping the price to just $1.19. Considering the game usually sits at just under $20, this is the lowest price it has hit so far, with previous discounts typically topping out around 90%.
Originally released in October 2016, Demolish & Build 2017 puts you in charge of your own construction and demolition company. The core loop is simple and satisfying: take on contracts, show up with the right equipment, and tear down structures piece by piece. It leans into hands-on machine operation, letting you work with cranes, bulldozers, road rollers, concrete mixers, and a range of tools to break down buildings, clear debris, and move materials.
Beyond the destruction, there’s also a light business-management angle. As you complete jobs, you earn money that can be reinvested into better vehicles and bigger projects, creating a steady sense of progression. The game also allows players to buy their own plots of land and spend cash on rentable construction projects, adding another way to expand your company over time.
Player feedback has been generally positive. On Steam, Demolish & Build 2017 holds a 79% positive rating from more than 600 user reviews, suggesting many players enjoy its easy-to-pick-up gameplay and the satisfying feel of operating heavy equipment. Some critiques mention that the difficulty is fairly low and missions can become repetitive, with demolition being the clear highlight while construction activities tend to feel less engaging. Steam Deck compatibility is currently listed as unknown.
For anyone who enjoys stress-free destruction, sandbox-style job gameplay, and the idea of building up a company around big machines, this under-$2 deal makes Demolish & Build 2017 an easy title to consider before the discount ends on April 20.
