Our take on Stealth Bastard Deluxe
Rather than treating stealth as a slow, cautious process, the game joins shadow-based infiltration with rapid platforming. Instant death on detection turns movement speed and split-second decisions into central parts of the genre structure.
What is Stealth Bastard Deluxe?
Stealth Bastard Deluxe combines stealth with fast platforming across an 80-level campaign spanning eight worlds.
Players use shadows, wall-hugging movement, jumps, and equipment such as the Camo Suit, Decoy, Sonic Decoy, Antilight, and Teleporters to evade security robots, cameras, lasers, and closing walls. The game includes puzzles, platforming challenges, hidden secrets, unlockable levels and equipment, global and friends leaderboards, achievements, and Steam Cloud support. A level editor allows custom stages to be created and uploaded to an online repository for automatic downloads by other owners. The character has no weapons or armour, and being detected results in instant death.
