Achilles: Legends Untold is quietly becoming one of the best cheap Steam game deals right now, especially if you’ve been craving an action RPG that feels like Diablo but fights more like Dark Souls. Set in a world inspired by Greek mythology, it swaps demon-slaying for mythical monsters and a more measured, stamina-driven style of combat. And for a limited time, it’s available at a massive 80% discount, dropping the price to under $5 until March 1.
Released in 2023 by Dark Point Games and published by Galaktus, Achilles: Legends Untold typically sits around the $25 mark. It already hit a record low in early January, but this new sale pushes the price even lower. The discount is slightly better than the previous one, and it’s the first time the game has dipped below the $5 line, making it an unusually low-risk way to try something a bit different in the ARPG space.
The twist on the classic legend is part of the appeal. This isn’t a retelling focused on the Trojan War. Instead, you play as Achilles in an alternate storyline where the dangers come from Greek myth itself, with supernatural creatures and threats that fit the setting. The game uses an isometric camera angle that will feel familiar to fans of traditional action RPGs, but it doesn’t play like a pure loot-and-swarm experience. Combat leans tactical, and stamina management is a constant consideration. Every swing, dodge, and action matters, so rushing in without a plan is often a quick way to get punished.
Player reactions reflect that unusual combination. On Steam, the game holds a mostly positive rating, with 78% of user reviews recommending it. Critical reception is more mixed, with a Metascore of 67, while players score it higher at 7.6. Much of the debate comes down to the combat: some players love the skill-based approach and the extra tension it adds, while others expected a more traditional ARPG flow.
If you’ve been curious about a hybrid that blends isometric action RPG structure with more deliberate, challenge-focused melee combat, this sale is a strong excuse to give it a shot while it’s at its lowest price yet. It’s also verified for Steam Deck, which is a good sign for anyone planning to play on a handheld and wants smoother performance without extra tinkering.
