Steam Hits All-Time Low: This Souls-Like Action RPG Drops Below $7

PC players looking for a fresh action RPG deal might want to act fast. Achilles: Legends Untold, an isometric action RPG with a tougher, Souls-like edge, is currently discounted by 75% on Steam until January 19. That drops the price to $6.24, making it the lowest it has ever been.

Released in 2023 by developer Dark Point Games and publisher Galaktus, Achilles: Legends Untold is designed to appeal to fans who enjoy the top-down, loot-and-build rhythm of games like Diablo, but also want more deliberate, high-stakes combat. Instead of mindlessly mowing through enemies, fights lean into timing, stamina management, and learning attack patterns—more like a Souls-style duel than a classic hack-and-slash.

The game takes Greek mythology in a darker direction, placing you in the role of Achilles after the Trojan War. The world has fallen into chaos, crawling with monsters and supernatural threats. Even with Achilles’ legendary reputation, survival isn’t guaranteed, and the game’s combat reinforces that. Attacks, dodges, and defensive moves drain stamina, so success often comes down to patience, smart positioning, and striking at the right moment.

Build variety is another big draw. A selection of weapons and a sizeable skill tree allow for different approaches, whether you prefer a more aggressive style or a cautious, tactical setup. That sense of progression—getting stronger while still needing to play carefully—fits the game’s hybrid identity and helps keep encounters engaging as you push forward.

Reception has been generally positive, though not without caveats. A German outlet, Controller Warriors, highlighted the strength of the combat system while mentioning occasional issues with enemy lock-on, and scored the game 8.5/10. On Steam, it has roughly 2,300 user reviews with 78% positive feedback. On Metacritic, it holds a Metascore of 67 and a User Score of 7.6, with some criticism pointing to technical rough spots and the fact that the combat style won’t click with everyone.

As far as value goes, this is the deepest discount the game has seen. The usual price is about $25, and previous sales topped out at 70% off—so this 75% price cut is a new high point for bargain hunters. There’s also a bonus for handheld PC fans: Achilles: Legends Untold is Steam Deck Verified, making it a solid pick for portable play.

Prices and availability can change after publication, and the discount is scheduled to end on January 19.
