There are a lot of great games available to play on the Steam Deck. Right now, there are new free games to claim from Amazon including D&D starring Baldur’s Gate 3 characters , and there’s also a unique experience many people like despite its developer calling it a “ failed project ”. In addition to these freebies, there has just been the release of a new Steam free game.
This new free-to-play game is a prequel to a Steam Deck verified epic that has a “very positive” user rating after over 7,000 reviews . New Steam free game is prequel to Steam Deck verified epic A new free game for Steam was released on April 12th, and it is called Lunacid Tears of the Moon . As of writing, it has a “very positive” rating after 225 reviews.
The game is a prequel to Lunacid which came out in 2023. Lunacid has a “very positive” rating after over 7,000 reviews, and it has gathered a fanbase. However, unlike its newly released prequel, Luncaid is not free as it costs £11.
79, with an enchanting OST available to buy for £8.50. Both Lunacid and its prequel, Tears of the Moon, are developed using the Sword of Moonlight King’s Field making tool of 2000.
For those not in the know, this is what was used to make the beloved King’s Field series that spanned many installments. Much like Luncaid, its prequel, Tears of the Moon, is a “first person dungeon crawler,” where players “Explore various dungeons for powerful weapons and spells to forestall the previsioned end of the world”. Unlike Lunacid which is officially Steam Deck verified, the status of Tears of the Moon is currently “unknown,” probably because it has only just come out.
However, according to a couple of reviews on the game’s Steam page, it is said to run fine, but there are issues with cut-scenes not playing. On Reddit , there has been a lot of praise for Lunacid with some remarking that “It hit all the right weirdness that a first playthrough of Dark Souls did”. Even though Tears of the Moon is not officially SD verified, it’s definitely worth checking out due to being free and because of all the positive reviews.
It also seems like a fantastic blast-to-the-past for those craving a rush of nostalgia. In other Steam Deck news, an upcoming Sonic game is officially verified with pre-register rewards still available to get, and the newly released best reviewed game of 2025 so far is “playable”, too..
