Steam Is Giving Away A Free RPG For 24 Hours
Steam Gamers Have 24 Hours To Claim This Roguelike RPG Completely For Free
Steam as a platform has no shortage of excellent free games to get your hands on, with so many new offerings dropping every week that it can be hard to keep track of them all. While free-to-play Steam games aren't too uncommon on their own, the times when you get to download and keep a paid game entirely for free are far rarer by comparison.
Whether you're in the mood for a brand-new adventure or simply don't want to miss out on a fantastic gaming deal that you can come back to later on, Steam's latest free offering is one that you'll want to grab as soon as you can before the deal ends on August 9th.
A Great Addition To Anyone's Steam Library
With the limited-time offer being a way to celebrate the release of a demo for its official sequel, indie developers DigitalSunGames are offering the action-adventure roguelike RPG Moonlighter entirely for free from now until 10:00 AM PST on Sunday, August 9th.
If you haven't heard of Moonlighter before or are wondering if it's worth adding to your library, the classic RPG offers an incredibly unique genre mix between Legend of Zelda-like dungeon-crawling and a store management simulator where you sell off all the treasures you collect in between adventures.
Offering a satisfying gameplay loop where you explore through Moonlighter's roguelike dungeons, sell goods, and use the money to upgrade various facilities around the village. These upgrades then increase your dungeon-crawling capabilities even further through unlocking new gear or item upgrades for your next run or even workers to help run your shop, making it incredibly easy to get lost in the charmingly pixelated world offered by Moonlighter.
Moonlighter's Sequel Is Already Off To A Great Start
If you do find yourself enjoying everything Moonlighter's relatively short story has to offer, you can also try out its sequel, Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault, for free as well. Without a time limit this time around, you won't need to worry about missing out as the recently released demo isn't going away anytime soon.
Offering a similar gameplay concept but this time in an entirely new three-dimensional isometric combat experience and plenty of new gameplay mechanics and bosses to face off against in your adventures, Moonlighter 2 has already come fairly far since it initially launched in early access in 2025.
With the sequel arriving in just a few more weeks on September 2, there's no better time to grab the original Moonlighter for free while you still can over the next 24 hours, even if you don't get around to playing it in time for the sequel.
