Every month, Fanatical introduces new game bundles for a small price and it’s a quick way of bolstering your library. The latest one to join their list of build-your-own bundles is the Empire Bundle, which features 10 Steam Deck-compatible games. As the name would suggest, these are a mixture of tycoon, simulator, and resource management titles.

Whether you’re playing on Steam Deck, another gaming handheld, or just your PC, all of the Empire Bundle games are played through Steam, so there’s no need to switch back and forth between game launchers here.

What does the Empire Bundle offer?

The Empire Bundle has 13 games in total, but we only picked 10 as the remaining three don’t work on the Steam Deck. But if you want to get them for your PC, feel free to add them to the bundle.

While the original value of the titles is $150, you need to pay only $14.28 for all 10 games thanks to the bundle. You can find the full list of games included in the bundle below along with their Steam Deck compatibility status.

Are there any good games in this Steam Deck bundle?

If you love city-building games, you’d want to check out Airborne Kingdom. In it, you have to build and manage a flying city. It presents a challenge as you travel across a vast open world and restore the kingdom. From constructing houses and workshops to making sure your citizens are happy and productive, you’ll need to do everything. You’ll also come across new civilizations as you progress through the game.

Another exciting game that is a part of the bundle is Animal Shelter. You’ll be responsible for the day-to-day care of the animals, including feeding them, cleaning their habitats, and providing them with love and playtime. The work won’t stop here, as you’ll also need to manage the finances and hire staff members. Overall, it provides a heartwarming experience, especially for those who love taking care of animals.

Fanatical has a few other bundles that you can check out. They recently launched another bundle called Platformania through which they’re offering 16 Steam Deck games for only $23. On top of that, there’s another bundle that features plenty of titles from Bethesda.
