This Week's Best iOS Game Deals: Titan Quest, Shotgun King, and More

Prices on the App Store move fast, so every deal below is checked against the live App Store listing before publishing, not copied from a search result. As of August 24, 2026, four paid games are sitting at meaningful discounts — and two of the developers here have a habit of cycling prices every couple of weeks, which is worth knowing before you assume today's price is a one-time event.

#Titan Quest: Legendary Edition — $8.99 (was $21.99)

HandyGames' remaster of the 2006 action RPG bundles the base game with the Immortal Throne and Atlantis expansions, and it's aged better than most Diablo-likes from that era thanks to a genuinely deep mastery/skill-tree system and eight playable classes you can combine. iOS support includes MFi controller play and cloud saves shared with the PC version. At $8.99 it's one of the cheapest ways into a 60-plus-hour RPG on iPhone or iPad.

Worth flagging: this one has swung between roughly $8 and $22 five times since May, most recently jumping to $21.99 for four days before dropping back on August 24. If you've been waiting, buy now rather than assuming it'll sit at $22 for long — but also don't panic-buy at full price next time, since a drop tends to follow within a couple of weeks.

#Shotgun King: The Final Checkmate — $3.99 (was $6.99)

Still one of the more inventive chess variants on the App Store: you play a king who's tired of hiding behind pawns and starts blasting pieces off the board with a shotgun, in a roguelike run structure with unlockable upgrades between attempts. It was discounted here in July too, reverted to $6.99 for about three weeks, and just dropped again on August 19 — a pattern, not a one-off. Good pickup-and-play length for commutes.

#Terminal Madness: Awakening & Revelations — $4.99 and $5.99

Codepassion's two-part first-person psychological horror series is both discounted at once this week: Awakening down to $4.99 from $5.99, and its sequel Revelations down to $5.99 from $6.99. Both have swung between the same two price points repeatedly since 2023 — Awakening alone has flipped at least five times — so this is a recurring promotional cadence rather than a rare markdown, but it's still the cheapest either has been in weeks. Awakening sits at 4.5 stars across 101 ratings; Revelations is newer with fewer reviews (24) but a clean 5-star average so far.

#Dungeon and Puzzles — $1.99 (was $2.99)

A tile-matching dungeon-crawler hybrid that's been bouncing between $1.99 and $2.99 on a roughly weekly cadence since mid-July — five price changes in the past month alone. At 4.9 stars across 158 ratings it's the highest-rated game in this entire roundup, and at under $2 it's a low-risk pickup even if puzzle-dungeon hybrids aren't usually your genre.

#Two more worth a look

Hyper Light Drifter is still $0.99 (down from $4.99) after multiple weeks at that price — a moody, near-wordless action-adventure with some of the best pixel art on the App Store, and at 4.9 stars across 6,721 ratings it's the most-reviewed game in this whole roundup. If you missed it in an earlier deals post, it's still live.

Fallen Sky RPG, a smaller post-apocalyptic RPG, dropped to $3.99 from $6.99 this week — 4.7 stars but a much smaller review base at 46 ratings, so treat it as a lower-confidence pick than the four features above rather than a sure thing.

#What we skipped

A few titles that showed up in other deal roundups this week had already reverted to full price by the time we checked the live App Store listing on August 24 — the exact stale-deal problem that makes some "best deals" posts unreliable within days of publishing. We'd rather list four confirmed discounts than ten where half no longer apply.

#Why these prices keep cycling

None of the four features above are on a one-time clearance sale. Titan Quest, both Terminal Madness games, and Dungeon and Puzzles have each moved between the same two price points multiple times over the past several months — a pattern that looks like scheduled promotional windows rather than a permanent markdown. That's useful to know either way: if you missed a drop, another one is likely coming, but if you want a game today, don't assume the current price will hold past a week or two.

#How to catch the next round yourself

Apple doesn't push a notification when a game's price changes. The most reliable way to track a specific title is checking its App Store listing every week or two rather than waiting on a roundup post to mention it — lower-profile games especially get missed even by dedicated deal-tracking sites. Our game charts reflect current pricing, so a quick scan there doubles as a free way to catch new markdowns on games already on your radar.

#FAQ

Do App Store sale prices apply worldwide? Usually, but regional pricing and currency conversion mean the exact discount can differ by country. The prices above are US App Store pricing as of August 24, 2026.

Will these prices go back up? Based on the price history for three of the four games here, yes — likely within two to four weeks. That's not a reason to skip the deal, just a reason not to assume it's permanent.

Are any of these subscriptions in disguise? No — every game above is a one-time purchase with no recurring subscription. Titan Quest does include a separately purchasable DLC expansion beyond the base game, which is optional and separate from the discounted base price above.
