The Steam Wargames Fest is now in full swing, bringing destruction and conflict for all tastes. You have medieval titles like Chivalry 2, all-out war and chaos in Foxhole, and eventrailers for games brought backfrom the dead likeBlue Dot Games' Cold War shooter 83.
While moving down different eras and experiencing historical battles is fun, Canadian developer OWI has been chasing players down to experience warfare in its current flavors.
Until May 5, you’re able to pick up its flagship game, Squad, for only $14.99 on Steam. This 70% discount marks the biggest sale since the title’s initial release in December 2015.

WhileEA has not committed to a hard release date, it looks like Squad is set to reach its stated goals well before Battlefield 6 comes out.
OWI is moving Squad to Unreal Engine 5 in the near future, and the game has already held an open playtest weekend that began on April 11th.
The change of engine has brought marked visual improvements, but some players have reported serious performance issues. It is unclear whether these are inherent to the engine transition or if these are simply growing pains.
At $14.99, it’s hard to find any cons to jumping into Squad while waiting for Battlefield 6 orARMA 4 to come out.
