Stealth Bastard Deluxe

[h1]Stealth and platforming done right[/h1] Stealth Bastard Deluxe is a really interesting take on the platformer genre, combining traditional platforming with stealth mechanics in a way that works surprisingly well. The stealth is easily the highlight of the game. Instead of simply running and jumping through the levels, you have to pay attention to enemy patrols, security cameras, lights and your surroundings, figuring out when to move and when to stay hidden. The mechanics are simple enough to understand, but the levels are designed in a way that makes you actually think about how you're going to get through them. I especially like how the game doesn't just throw stealth mechanics on top of a platformer and call it a day. Both elements complement each other really well, and navigating around enemies while trying to reach the exit makes even relatively simple sections feel engaging. There's a nice sense of satisfaction when you finally figure out the route through a tricky area without getting caught. The platforming itself is also solid, and the combination of stealth, movement and level design gives the game its own identity. It's challenging without feeling like the game is…

I didn't like it, but I know that other people *will*. Someone tried, and they made something that has some soul. It's been a long time, (like 6 or so years?) and I still remember some levels. How long something stays in my thoughts is what defines a good game to me; impact over time. I would be interested in what the devs are doing now, because despite not really liking it, it's extremely encouraging.

Nice, oldschool 2D platform puzzle game.

So Far loving this Game. The stealth mechanic and gameplay feels responsive and crunchy. Music is Very Great. Only finished few levels but i can play this for hours if not my responsibilities calling for me. I would get this game even if it is not on discount.

Stealth Bastard Deluxe completely strips away the slow, patient waiting of traditional stealth games and replaces it with high-speed, lethal puzzle-platforming. You play as a fragile little clone trying to escape a facility filled with deadly lasers, security cameras, and robotic eyes that want to instantly vaporize you.The game is all about trial and error. You will die a lot, but because the respawns are instant, it never feels unfair—only highly addictive. Sneaking through the shadows at top speed and timing your jumps perfectly feels incredibly intense. The sarcastic messages written on the facility walls mocking your deaths add a great layer of dark humor.It is a challenging, razor-sharp indie masterpiece with a killer electronic soundtrack. If you want a stealth game that tests your speed and reflexes rather than your patience, this is it! 9/10
