Settle in and check your wallet, because Steam’s Cyberpunk Fest is live, running from August 3rd through August 10th, and it’s cutting prices across hundreds of games set in neon-soaked megacities and corporate-controlled futures. Unsurprisingly, the headline act is Cyberpunk 2077 itself, now sitting at one of its steepest discounts in months at 70% off, bringing it down to just $17.99.
However, dig past the obvious pick and there’s a genuinely surprising number of roguelikes and roguelites tucked into this sale. From twin-stick shooters to tactical deckbuilders, we’ve rounded up the biggest and best discounts worth your attention before the sale wraps up.
Going Under | 90% Off
Going Under casts you as Jackie, an unpaid intern at a doomed startup incubator who discovers the only way to survive corporate culture is to literally fight her way through it. Each failed startup in the building has collapsed into its own procedurally generated dungeon, and Jackie descends armed with whatever office supplies she can grab, from keyboards to venture capitalist-shaped trophies.
The satire is sharp and constant, poking fun at tech industry buzzwords, toxic workplaces, and the gig economy at every turn. Combat is fast and improvised, since nothing you pick up lasts forever, forcing you to keep moving and experimenting with new makeshift weapons. With colorful visuals, a cast of eccentric coworkers, and dungeons themed around unmistakably familiar startup archetypes, Going Under turns internship horror stories into something genuinely fun to fight through.
Black Future ’88 | 90% Off
Black Future ’88 drops you into a synth-punk nightmare where nuclear winter has frozen time at 1988 and a failing heart implant is your only clock. Your mission is to climb an ever-shifting procedural tower and take down its architect before your heart gives out for good, and every run reshuffles the layout, enemies, and traps standing in your way.
The game leans hard into its retro dystopian aesthetic, pairing neon-drenched pixel art with a pounding analog synth soundtrack that makes every ascent feel like a fight against the clock in the best way. Combat mixes dashing, slashing, and shooting, rewarding players who can stay aggressive and keep climbing rather than turtling in a corner. It’s unapologetically difficult, but the tight controls and constant forward momentum make each attempt feel worth the risk.
Genesis Alpha One Deluxe Edition | 85% Off
Genesis Alpha One puts you in command of a starship built to save what’s left of humanity, combining roguelike survival with genuine ship-building strategy. As Captain, you’ll design and expand your vessel module by module, from crew quarters to greenhouses that keep your clones fed and breathing, all while jumping between randomly generated star systems in search of resources.
Alien infestations can spread through your ship’s corridors, hull breaches can vent your crew into space, and death is permanent, so every decision about your ship’s layout genuinely matters. The Deluxe Edition bundles in the Rocket Star Corporation DLC alongside the digital artbook and soundtrack. Mixing FTL-style tension with first-person combat and creative freedom, this is one for anyone who’s ever wanted to be the captain, architect, and last line of defense for humanity all at once.
Kill to Collect | 80% Off
Set in Geoshelter Alpha, the last known city on Earth, Kill to Collect puts you in the boots of a bounty “Hunter” clearing out lawless slums for money or glory. It’s built for fast, focused runs with up to four players in co-op, and its procedurally generated levels mean no two hunts play out the same way.
You’ll choose from a cast of very different Hunters, from sword-wielding Kate Katana to the bionic-armed Ivan Ironfist, and mixing characters in co-op opens up genuinely useful team synergies. The game leans heavily into 80s cyberpunk anime influences, right down to its synthwave soundtrack and neon-lit slums. Between the Story Campaign, daily Challenge Mode runs, and a no-frills Free Hunt option, there’s a decent amount of ways to keep chasing bounties even after the credits roll.
Neon Chrome | 77% Off
From 10tons, the studio behind cult favorite Crimsonland, Neon Chrome is a ruthless twin-stick shooter built around one simple promise: nearly everything can be destroyed. Walls crumble, rooms explode, and entire floors can be leveled as you blast your way toward the Overseer controlling this dystopian tower from above. Every run generates a fresh path through the building, mixing procedurally arranged floors with handcrafted set-piece challenges and boss encounters.
Before each attempt you’ll pick from randomized “assets,” essentially a class, weapon, and ability combo, and any permanent stat boosts you’ve earned carry over regardless of which one you choose. With Steam Workshop support, local co-op for up to four players, and over a dozen weapons to master, Neon Chrome rewards players who enjoy tearing environments apart as much as the enemies inside them.
Invisible, Inc | 75% off
Invisible, Inc trades gunfights for shadows, turning corporate espionage into a tense turn-based stealth roguelike from Klei Entertainment. You control a small team of agents working for a private spy agency on the brink of collapse, sneaking through procedurally generated corporate facilities to steal data, credits, and equipment before your 72-hour countdown runs out.
Every mission is a careful dance of watching guard patrols, hacking security systems, and deciding when it’s worth the risk to grab one more item before extraction. Permadeath means losing an agent actually stings, and the game isn’t shy about punishing overconfidence. What makes it stand out is how much tension it builds from information and positioning rather than combat, forcing you to think several moves ahead. For fans of methodical, high-stakes stealth, this remains one of the smartest roguelikes on Steam.
SYNTHETIK: Legion Rising | 75% Off
SYNTHETIK: Legion Rising is an unapologetically hardcore tactical shooter roguelite set in a world overrun by the Machine Legion and the AI gods commanding them. Where most twin-stick shooters keep gunplay simple, SYNTHETIK goes deep, with manual reloads, weapon disassembly, ammo crafting, and a genuinely huge arsenal that rewards players who take the time to master its systems.
Runs are built around escalating waves of increasingly dangerous machines, and survival depends on adapting your loadout on the fly as new weapons and augments appear. The learning curve is steep, but the payoff is a shooter that feels far more tactical and deliberate than its frantic pace initially suggests. With extensive character and difficulty options, SYNTHETIK is built for players who want their roguelite runs to feel like a genuine skill test rather than a random loot scramble.
Neon Abyss | 75% Off
Neon Abyss throws you into the Underworld’s hottest nightclub-turned-dungeon, where Hades himself has recruited you to run and gun through waves of mythological monsters reimagined in neon pixel art. The dungeon itself evolves as you play, with doors, traps, and rooms shifting based on the items and choices you make along the way, so no run ever feels static. One of its best hooks is the ability to hatch eggs into pets mid-run, each granting unique passive abilities that stack in increasingly chaotic ways alongside its huge pool of item synergies.
The platforming and shooting are fast and satisfying on their own, but it’s the sheer density of build-breaking combinations that gives Neon Abyss its addictive replay value. It’s a great pick for anyone who loves stacking absurd synergies until a run spirals hilariously out of control.
Brigador – Up-Armored Edition | 74% Off
Brigador puts you in the cockpit of a mech, tank, or hovercraft with one job…Dismantle the oppressive government of Solo Nobre one city block at a time. This isometric shooter is less about survival and more about sheer, satisfying destruction, letting you level buildings, flatten columns of enemy vehicles, and turn entire districts into rubble with an arsenal of up to 56 vehicles and 40 weapons.
Each mission is a self-contained, sit-down session rather than a sprawling campaign, making it easy to hop in for a single glorious rampage. The retro-futuristic art style and moody, atmospheric soundtrack lend real weight to every explosion, and the freedom to approach missions with vastly different loadouts keeps things fresh. If you’ve ever wanted a cyberpunk shooter that lets you be the unstoppable force rather than the resistance, Brigador delivers in spades.
Anomaly Agent | 70% Off
Anomaly Agent, from the same creators of the recently launched Anomaly President, puts you in the shoes of Agent 70, tasked with stopping reality-bending anomalies before they plunge the world into chaos. This 16-bit-inspired beat-’em-up leans on fluid melee and firearm combat, letting you punch, shoot, and toss enemies around while chaining together acrobatic combos to escape sticky situations. What sets it apart is its time-bending story, where your choices genuinely shape how events unfold and which of several endings you land on.
The pixel art is sharp and colorful, and the catchy synthwave soundtrack keeps every fight feeling stylish rather than repetitive. Boss fights against the anomalies themselves are the highlight, mixing platforming challenges with combat in ways that keep each encounter distinct. For fans of retro brawlers with a genuine narrative hook, Anomaly Agent is an easy recommendation at this price.
Battle Shapers | 60% Off
Battle Shapers casts you as Ada, a reactivated android on a mission to reclaim the city of New Elysium from a group of scheming Overlords and their armies of corrupted robots. It’s a genuinely fast FPS roguelite, built around dashing, wall-jumping, and dodging through combat while chaining together shots and melee punches that trigger satisfying slow-motion finishers.
Defeating each Overlord lets you steal their Shaper Core, a powerful ability that reshapes your entire moveset and playstyle for the rest of the run. With 28 weapons, dozens of modifiers, and five distinct biomes to fight through, there’s plenty of room to experiment with different builds between attempts. The combat is the clear star here, offering some of the snappiest gunplay in the FPS roguelite space right now.
Shift’n Slay | 60% Off
Shift’n Slay is a turn-based tactical roguelike where every move is a puzzle and every mistake can be fatal, set inside a cyberpunk hell engineered by a shadowy corporation trying to trap you in a time loop. Rather than mashing an attack button, you’re constantly weighing whether to take a defensive position or charge in, and whether to save resources for later turns or spend everything to end a fight now.
Landing a kill grants you an extra turn, which opens the door to genuinely explosive chain reactions if you plan your positioning well. You can build toward a ranged specialist raining bullets from a distance, an armored brawler who crushes enemies up close, or a trap-laying tech assassin, and each playstyle changes how encounters unfold. It’s a tense, deliberate roguelike for players who like their tactics razor-sharp.
Neon Garten | 50% Off
Neon Garten, created by solo developer Josh Galecki, is a minimalist, turn-based cyberpunk city builder inspired by Islanders and Luck Be a Landlord. Each turn hands you new structures and units to place across your growing digital garden, and success comes from spotting synergies between buildings rather than reacting to enemies.
Placing a mega-corp office next to the right support structure, or stacking a toxic waste dump somewhere it’ll actually benefit you, is the kind of clever, slightly wicked decision-making the game thrives on. Procedural generation keeps every session different, and the risk-reward balance of chasing high-value combinations versus playing it safe gives it real strategic depth despite its stripped-back visuals. It’s a relaxed, brain-teasing change of pace if you want your cyberpunk fix without the bullets.
Sodaman | 50% Off
Sodaman, developed by Tape Corps, throws you into a bullet-heaven roguelike built entirely around one glorious premise… a supersoldier fighting off alien hordes with the power of soda. After the “Sodacalypse” leaves most of the universe’s fizzy drinks flat and tasteless, it’s up to Sodaman to track down what’s left while blasting through waves of enemies across multiple planets.
You’ll mix and match soda powers across several flavors, bolt cybernetic augments onto six different body parts, and build out a deck of power-up cards to create increasingly ridiculous builds. Between runs, you can relax on your ship, chat with your crew, and spend earned credits on permanent upgrades. It’s a game that doesn’t take itself too seriously, and that self-aware silliness is exactly what makes its chaotic combat so much fun to keep coming back to.
Whisker Squadron Survivor | 55% Off
From the creators of Race the Sun, Whisker Squadron Survivor is a slick roguelite shooter starring a voiced cast of feline pilots taking on a robotic army called The Swarm. You’ll choose your ship and pilot, then chart a course across a 3-act campaign with branching paths, tactical choices, and boss fights that escalate as you push deeper into the story.
Combat mixes on-rails shooting with survivor-style upgrade choices, letting you tune your ship into a genuinely lethal bot-killing machine as each run progresses. The charming anime-meets-Star Fox presentation is backed by real voice acting, giving the galaxy-saving story more personality than you’d expect from the genre. It’s an easy pick-up-and-play experience that’s especially well suited to shorter sessions or handheld play.
Ultra Mega Cats | 50% Off
Ultra Mega Cats is exactly as delightful as it sounds. It’s a cooperative roguelike third-person shooter starring heavily armed cats fighting to escape captivity from their Rodent and Bird Overlords. You’ll pick from a roster of Mega Cats, each with distinct playstyles, and unlock up to 50 M.O.D.s per character to customize how they fight across randomly arranged arena biomes.
Up to three players can team up for co-op runs, making it an easy game to jump into with friends for some chaotic, cartoonish combat. The vibrant, cell-shaded art style leans hard into a Saturday-morning-cartoon aesthetic, and the tone stays gleefully over-the-top throughout. Still in Early Access, it’s already a fun, fast-paced roguelike, and one of the more purely fun picks in this whole sale.
Arc Seed | 50% Off
Arc Seed combines turn-based tactics with deckbuilding, tasking you with piloting a powerful mech to defend Earth from an interstellar threat known as the Archangels. You’ll choose a pilot and mech, then build out your combat deck while managing city defenses like artillery and turrets to help hold the line against the invasion.
Environments are destructible, letting you push and pull buildings for cover or crush enemies between structures if you’re feeling particularly aggressive. As a roguelike, no two runs play out the same, and multiple game modes, including a story-driven campaign and a New Game+ option, give it solid replay value. It’s a little rough around the edges, but for fans of mech combat and card-driven tactics, Arc Seed offers a satisfying, if unpolished, take on the genre.
Don’t Let the Countdown Hit Zero
That’s our pick of the best discounts in Steam’s Cyberpunk Fest, but it’s worth a browse through the full event page too, since there are dozens more titles on sale beyond what we’ve covered here. A few smaller discounts worth a mention if you’re still browsing include Morbid Metal which is sitting at 25% off, the just-released Anomaly President is 20% off, and Net Crawl rounds things out at 20% off.
None of them hit the same steep cuts as the games above, but they’re worth a look if you’re after something under the radar. Whatever you end up adding to your library, remember the sale wraps up on August 10th, so don’t let these games sit in your wishlist for too long.
