[Steam] Turn-Based RPG Fest (September 30 - October 7)

Open

The press email:

Steam's Turn-Based RPG Fest kicks off a full week of discounts and demos on September 30th at 10am PT!

Join our celebration of all kinds of turn-based roleplaying games, from turn-based tactics, to turn-based strategy.

Yes, you in the back? You have a question?

"Are the games on sale turn-based?"

Um. Didn't I just... I see you might have skipped the first part of this press release, which means I get to say my favorite thing: "PER MY EMAIL. YES!"

Ha, I kid, just making fun of myself for using TURN-BASED seventeen times. But yes. Check out our trailer to see for yourself!

The Steam Turn-Based RPG Fest arrives Monday September 30th, with discounts, demos, and more through October 7th at 10am PT!

Steam seems to have a very different idea to turnbased to me, 3/4 the page is nothing remotely turn based or even rpg.... lol

Don't you know the turn based modes in Cyberpunk 2077, Elden Ring, Black Myth Wukong or DOTA 2? ^^

Upon a closer look: it seems that page lists almost everything BUT turn based games. At least I can't find any except Baldur's Gate 3. Might be a misconfiguration issue.

Edit: seems like this would be the correct category page, but it doesn't have the sale header:

Huh, you're right. Well, it wouldn't be the first time they make a mistake in one of these announcement emails :P

What's next, setting up a SHMUP festival that is mostly made up of Vampire Survivor clones?

Everything is turn-based if you count one frame as one turn. ;-)

Not if you can't freeze said frame. ^^

The frame is frozen for 1/60s or so, you just need to act really fast. ;p

While that is true, the link leads to a genre/category page supposed to list turn based RPGs, but does almost exclusively the opposite. That page should work correctly - sale or not.

You're right, not sure what they are doing, because there is another, working turn based rpg category.

Maybe they made a new one by mistake that is empty, and gets filled randomly?

Seems like it. I mean it had just been there about an hour and forty five minutes when you posted... :P

Just kidding, we can't all always read everything at all times. ^^
