Looking for strategy games this weekend? TactiCon 2025 has arrived on Steam. It runs until 21 July, with over 100 titles on show.
While the Steam Automation Fest is all about factories, this one’s all about tactics. TactiCon is run by Hooded Horse and Firesquid, and it’s more than just a discount page. It feels like a real digital event.
It kicked off with Hooded Horse’s Renee April. Since then, it’s been full of trailers, reveals, and proper strategy goodness. Everything here is hand-picked. You’ll find real-time strategy, tactical roguelikes, management sims, and more.
The devs range from solo indies to bigger studios. There’s a clear focus: thoughtful games made with care. The kind you don’t find in random sales. These two publishers are known for lifting up smart, creative work.
Here are some highlights from TactiCon 2025:
- The Wandering Village hits 1.0 from Stray Fawn
- He is Coming, a grim RPG from Hooded Horse, enters Early Access
- Every Day We Fight shows more tactical time-loop action
- Reus 2 gets the Everglades DLC from Firesquid
- Diplomacy is Not an Option reveals a new map editor
- The Othercide team teases their next game: Ex Sanguis
TactiCon says it wants to bring strategy lovers together. So if you’re into planning, building, and battling smart, check it out this weekend.
