The Steam Summer Sale event is taking place with enthusiastic response from gamers. A series of blockbusters, super products or even normal games are all heavily discounted. This has contributed to significantly improving the number of online players, while helping Steam break its own concurrent user record. Thanks to this event, a 16-year-old game on Steam has suddenly become hot again and has just set a new peak.
The game is called Castle Crasher – a 2D action adventure game where players can protect their kingdom, rescue the princess and defeat other castles. First released in 2008 and appeared on Steam in 2012, Castle Crasher has been in development for 16 years. With up to 4 players, Castle Crasher is considered a quite effective entertainment game for groups of friends. And on the occasion of the Steam Summer Sale, the price of this game is currently reduced by 90%, down to only about $1.49 – the lowest ever and not even enough to buy a bowl of pho.
According to SteamDB, Castle Crasher is having one of its best seasons in history. On June 27, the first day of the Steam Summer Sale, the game attracted 6,326 concurrent players. That number later increased to 10,467, surpassing the 10,000 mark for the first time since June 2015. This is the game's fourth-highest concurrent player count ever, with the highest being 16,013 in June 2014. Castle Crashers is also among the highest-rated cooperative games on Steam, boasting an “Overwhelmingly Positive” rating based on over 83,000 user reviews.
In addition to Castle Crashers, there are a number of other indie games on sale including Celeste, Stardew Valley, and Hades at $1.99 (90% off), $8.99 (40% off), and $9.99 (60% off), respectively.
