Crypt Stalker
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…

Excellent Classicvania
This is an exceptional game. It truly captures that NES Castlevania look and feel, but without the almost sadistic difficulty. Although it's far from easy, especially on the later stages, it is an incredible game with alot of work put into it at a very low price. But it's WAY BETTER than any of the other retro games in it's price range, which may as well be high priced shovelware. Definitely a recommended Indie title.

It's a very standard Castlevania-style game, but I had a decent enough time streaming this for some friends.
This is actually two games in one, an NES and GB version. Both are completely different in terms of levels, aesthetics, etc. I beat the NES version pretty easily without trying in an hour, but the GB version is pretty damn hard

It's like NES Castlevania but the protagonist has places she wants to be so doesn't waste time strutting everywhere.

I have only beat the game in the easy mode so far, but it made me so happy to play it. The pixel art of the game and color pallets are so enjoyable for my eyes and the game is fun as well! I'm an older gamer from the 80s and think anyone from that time would enjoy this as well.

A classic-vania to the bone!
Nostalgic graphics, a great feeling of going back to the C3 (but with a gun in your pocket), I love the level design. :)
