Steam is currently slashing Iconoclasts by a massive 80 percent. Instead of the usual €19.99, you'll pay just €3.99 for the critically acclaimed Metroidvania platformer, which has consistently been hailed as a hidden gem of the genre since its release. If you enjoy pixel-art adventures with a strong focus on puzzles and boss battles, you're getting one of the genre's best-kept secrets at a bargain price. The deal is available directly on Steam, but only while the deal is active.
Is Iconoclasts Worth It at This Price?
Regular price: €19.99. Deal price: €3.99. That's a saving of 80 percent, or €16 in your pocket. With a Metacritic score of 87 points, Iconoclasts is one of the higher-rated games in its genre – at this price, it's a nearly risk-free pick for all Metroidvania fans.
What Does Iconoclasts Offer at Its Core?
Iconoclasts is a 2D platformer with strong Metroidvania elements, focusing on exploration, combat, and clever environmental puzzles. You control Robin, a 17-year-old mechanic who must flee from the technophobic organization “One Concern.” Instead of classic missile or energy upgrades, you collect Ivory Oil, Improvium, and Technium, which unlock passive bonuses in the form of “Tweaks.” Robin's wrench serves as both a melee weapon and a tool for puzzles, and the more than twenty boss battles are among the game's highlights. Reviewers particularly emphasize the high puzzle-solving component, which goes beyond the genre's usual combat/platforming ratio, as well as the captivating story revolving around Robin's conflict with the regime. The level design also classically relies on backtracking: only with new abilities and tools do previously inaccessible areas of the game world open up, providing long-term motivation for the title.
