Stealth Bastard! "Tactical Espionage Arsehole"
« on: November 06, 2011, 03:28:59 am »
Hey guys

I recently saw this in the comment section of the latest RPS-Bargain-bucket-article and thought I'd share this with you. It's a 2D plattformer by Curve studios based on stealthy gameplay. I haven't played it yet, but the trailer on the website looks awesome. Also, it's free.

Check it out: http://www.stealthbastard.com/

Quote from: their website
Stealth games are awesome. Hiding from The Man, skulking in shadows, the thrill of the unseen infiltration. But why do they have to be so... slow?

Introducing Stealth Bastard: stealth, with a great big kick up the arse. A fast-paced, frenetic, one-step-away-from-chunky-death melange of sneaking, platforming, hacking and cursing. A whole lot of fun. It's like Metal Gear Solid and Super Meat Boy had a baby out of wedlock. Semi-literally.

Jump, sneak, and be horribly dismembered through 28 levels hand-crafted by our crack team of in-house design geniuses, some of the same folk behind the critically-acclaimed Fluidity/Hydroventure, and the retro-styled PSN platformer Explodemon!.

And once you're done with those? Fear not - Stealth Bastard includes a FULL in-game level editor - the same we used to create the bundled levels - and even allows you to share, play and rate the community's creations from across the world.

Maybe it's parasitic. It never loses its flavor because you eventually die from having your nutrients stolen by it.

And once again, while every other game on the market is a never ending let down, the indie scene saves the fucking day. This game looks epic. And it is free. I'm sold! Also... shiny!

I wonder what they used to make it...

They probably used gamemaker, the dialogue boxes look so.

Yeah, I spotting this in the RPS comment section as well, and it is rather pretty, good and free. Can be a little challenging at times, but I managed to complete the first section of it without too much trouble. The leader boards are also nice, keep an eye for horribly you beat me.

Exactly what it says on the tin. A good mix of stealth and platformer gameplay.
