The Leviathan's Fantasy is a strategic simulation game that's free to claim and keep on Steam until November 1, but there's a catch. Developers often give their games away on Steam for a limited time to promote their product or grow their player base. However, StarChess, the company behind The Leviathan's Fantasy, has taken a more unorthodox approach to distributing free copies of its game.
Right now, PC users can also claim Steam's Away, another indie game that is free until September 24. Meanwhile, the Epic Games Store is offering two free titles until September 25: Project Winter and Samorost 2. Those looking for even more freebies can grab The Leviathan's Fantasy on Steam, though the process for claiming it is a bit different from usual.
Get Ready For These Huge Upcoming Free Games
New free games are coming soon, and here are the biggest upcoming titles you should keep an eye on.
The Leviathan's Fantasy Is Free on Steam Until November 1
According to developer StarChess, The Leviathan's Fantasy is a town management simulation game with a twist. Aside from the standard mechanics of the genre, it also includes a character recruitment system that lets players hire adventurers to gather resources and fight for their city. These heroes can be upgraded and equipped with better gear to strengthen the city and fend off tougher monsters. The only catch with the current promotion is that the game isn't accessible through its official Steam store page. Instead, players need to claim it via The Leviathan's Fantasy's SteamDB page.
How to Claim The Leviathan's Fantasy for Free
- Head over to the game's page on SteamDB
- Click the 'Install' button in the top right corner
- Allow SteamDB to launch the Steam app
- The download will start automatically
It's unclear why the game's Steam page doesn't reflect the giveaway, but this isn't a bug or glitch. Developer StarChess confirmed in a recent statement that the game is indeed free to keep. And once the promotion ends on November 1, it will likely return to its original price of about $20 USD. StarChess also offers a free DLC for its city builder game, though, unlike the game itself, it can be claimed directly through the official Steam page.
Those interested in The Leviathan's Fantasy can also look forward to the developer's upcoming spin-off, FantasyCity. It's described as a city-building game with character development and dungeon challenges. However, early development screenshots suggest it looks strikingly similar to AFK Journey, which is considered one of the best role-playing games on mobile. It remains to be seen how FantasyCity will be received and whether the current free promotion will help grow interest in The Leviathan's Fantasy.
