Stealth Bastard Deluxe - PC Game Review

Stealth Bastard Deluxe is a stealth platformer, but with a twist - instead of being slow and measured like most stealth games, it is much faster paced.

In the game you start as a clone with no special equipment. You have a notice of your visibility to cameras at all times, and most of the levels are puzzles that need to be overcome to get to the next level. Some examples of puzzles are syncing to an object that generate shadow or the movement of a camera, pushing objects into buttons, as well as uses of hanging on ledges just above a laser or using them to jump to a specific place.

Graphics are retro in a way that servers the game well, and gameplay is fun, although probably only for a limited time at once.

You can use an equipment item at once. I have placed screen captures of each. How you earn the items is somewhat interesting - they get unlocked for a sector when you finish the sector boss. And even them, each get unlocked for each level when you play it enough times. If you unlock it on 3 levels, it gets unlocked for the whole sector.

This, of course, insures that you have do at least most levels using no equipment, and use the equipment to get better times at the levels. I can't help but wonder if a regular system wouldn't be much fun...
