Good game, but it sits 100% of the way from its all-time low to full price. It drops harder in seasonal sales. Patience pays.

About this game

What this game is, in the developer's words

Whip your way through nostalgia fuelled kinky demon slaying. From hidden desert temples to floating ruins, this will take you back to the golden days of gaming, where there was only 4 buttons on a controller and VHS ruled the world.



Crypt Stalker is full of those nail biting, heart pounding, stress inducing gaming moments when no one knew what an analogue stick was and you couldn't recover health by hiding behind a wall. (Instead it was done by eating chicken found in a brick wall!) If you wish to relive those golden moments in video gaming then this game might be for you. Time travel might not currently exist but this game will hopefully bring you back in time to where somehow birds do massive damage.

Your task is to fight through nine action packed stages, filled to the brim with demons that you'll need to slay with your trusty cyber whip, (or blast them with your side arm, your choice.) However it doesn't stop there, within these worlds there lies dangers that you'll need to navigate past, from raising hot magma to walls crushing down on you. And after you've managed to survive to the very end, defeat the evil demon overlord, you'll have to do it all again but in glorious monochromatic handheld mode. (This mode contains four all new levels to really test your skills)

Also included is a few extras such as challenges, a boss rush and that otherworldly "sound test" mode that you only ever see in vintage retro games.



  • 13 massive levels to conquer, each with it's own dangerous traps to dodge!
  • Huge end level bosses to completely destroy with your demon slaying whip!
  • Including both console and handheld versions of the game.
  • Boss rush and extra challenges.
  • Actual 8-bit graphics that follow strict limitations from that era. (Even included is fake flickering for that extra nostalgia hit!)
  • Listen along to a chiptune soundtrack while banishing those demons back to where they came from!
  • Extras and Steam Achievements to, umm unlock!


Written in Engrish for that extra layer of authenticity

Every ninetieth solar eclipses is the time where the demons open up the portal to our world.
Every time the portal is at a different crypt. This time it's located in the desert, inside the pyramids of the damned.
Trained stalkers take on the task of defeating the said demons before they unleash hell on the Earth.
Today's task has fell upon Gladys, one of the descendents of the,
Crypt Stalkers...
