Steam users recently got to enjoy some of the best deals of the year in the Summer Sale, which ran for two weeks and ended on July 10. The sale offered plenty of big discounts, but most games have now returned to their original prices. However, what if we told you that there’s currently one game that you can get for free? But only if you’re quick enough.
At the time of writing, if you head over to Steam, you’ll find Battlestar Galactica Deadlock, a game that normally costs $39.99, listed for free. The best part is that once you claim the game, it will be yours to keep forever. However, do keep in mind that the offer is valid until today, so you’ll need to hurry and grab it before it gets listed back at its full price.
Just a few hours left to claim it – what does the game offer?

Battlestar Galactica Deadlock is a 3D strategy game where every move counts. You take command of powerful ships, launch fighter squadrons, and lead your fleet through intense space battles. The game puts you right in the middle of the action, and you’ll need to think carefully to stay one step ahead of the Cylon enemy.
The story begins after a surprise Cylon attack wipes out the Colonial High Command. Now, Rear-Admiral Lucinda Cain must lead what’s left of the fleet and fight to save the Twelve Colonies. You’ll be in charge of building fleets, assigning officers, and even handling political challenges in the War Room. Along the way, you’ll uncover hidden plots and do your best to keep the alliance strong.
You’ll meet both familiar and new faces from the Battlestar Galactica universe. The game uses a special WEGO turn-based system, where you plan your moves, then watch the battle play out in real-time 3D. There’s also a multiplayer mode where you can battle another player 1-on-1, plus a cinematic replay tool to review and save your best fights.
