60 of 168 · most liked firstAwesome 2D stealth puzzler! Great mix of platforming, puzzles, and stealth action. It's wrapped up in a well detailed package perfect for a challenge. There's a lengthy campaign to enjoy as well as user created challenges. Each time you change sectors the game gets a little more complicated keeping you engaged with it. There's also a lot of side content such as collectibles and a level editor which of course means a wealth of extra stages to check out. There's also a good variety of equipment…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →tldr Stealth Bastard Deluxe promises a whole lot with its slick presentation, great graphics and lovely soundtrack. The trailers look nice, it looks like a great little puzzle game, but in spite of its high production values and great promises, this game falls flat due to a number of pitfalls. I do not recommend this. Quick overview SBD has great graphics, even if the pixelation filter can get a bit tiring over time and cause eye fatigue. The multiple color schemes for text and menus is a…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →SHORT VERSION If you're the kind of person who enjoys spending weeks on end figuring out then practicing how to complete Rubik's Cube in 40 seconds, then SBD would be right up your street. But for anyone else, it would be very difficult to have a satisfying experience of SBD beyond say, Round 3, and I'd recommend not bothering with it. DETAILED VERSION Stealth Bastard Deluxe (SBD) is not a stealth game ... stealth is just one minor aspect of a multi-faceted game, and the only real purpose of…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I didn't like this game. I'm all up for stealth game, provided that I understand the world. Stealth Bastard has a horrible horrible environment lighting. I hated this game due to the follloiwng reasons: 1) Too many blind areas - About 60% of the transitions between two points is not visible. You need to blindly move into dark areas and you can fall into an entirely new area - repeatedly! Or, you could trigger some kind of trap which you couldn't even see. Then you die and start all over again.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I purchased this game on Steam last year. Recommended as the game do what it pretend to, and rather well. However due to the time pressure it feels more of a platformer than a stealth infiltration game. So this might not be to anyone taste. This is a mix of platform/puzzle/stealth games. With simple but serviceable gfx. The first time you play a level it is more like a stealth and puzzle, as you try to figure how you can reach the exit avoiding all security systems and opening doors. Your…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The good: Amazingly designed puzzle platformer. Engaging mechanics. Great level design. Cross-platform. Leaderboards. Level editor. Secrets. Unlockables. Good premise. Good controls. Often brutally hard, but in generally good ways. I can find very little to complain about, except the one stupid little detail that completely ruins the entire game: No brightness settings. So here I am playing a stealth platformer with one of the core mechanics being to hide in the darkest shadows you can find…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Is it a stealth game? Puzzle game? A platformer? Well, all of them, and the gameplay isn't bad. It's not good enough to grip you and the game has basically nothing else to offer.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I loved this game. Was a ton of fun on my VITA back in the day. Solid gameplay and puzzles. Wished they made a sequel.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Sadly, I'm one of the people that after the third chapter got severe and constant slowdown (There's literally no way of fixing this according to the devs). Also, the game starts up in window mode because “xinput1_3.dll not found” and I can't use my controller (The better way of playing this game). I looked online, on discussions and guides, but I couldn't find a solution. The worst part is that this game is probably not getting updated, as it has been abandoned for at least 2 years by the…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Runs using PROTON-GE 7.42 Version on Steamdeck.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A very good puzzle game. Worth the price tag, however not much post game content besides perfecting each area. If you like stealth games and messing around with physics and puzzles, this game is basically made for you.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Brilliant game. Clever, devilish puzzles - combines the best elements of a platformer with puzzles that require timing and lateral thinking. Highly recommended.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Grinding for S ranks in this game got me through a lot of long 24 hour shifts. No regrets. Not sure why my playtime is so low though.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I tried to play this game without dying on first run, re-re-restarting until perfect. I bloody hated it. So, so much. Years later, past of my 100% compulsion - this game is amazing. Stealth is not the focus, it's the means of getting to the terminals, hack them and finish levels. But in each chapter a new mechanic gets introduced - buttons, various automatons and robots, elevators and so. Call me crazy, but the game gets more and more Hitman-like - you will fail so much and so often from the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A clever stealth platformer with challenging puzzles, sharp pixel art, and engaging gameplay that keeps you on your toes.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I didn't like this game to be honest. First of all this is not a Stealth game, this is a difficult puzzle platformer. So everybody like me who bought this game thinking it's a 2D stealth game are being deceived with false marketing. It's level based, there are 8 stages, each with 8 levels so 64 levels + 2 bonus levels after each stage. Those bonus levels however are unlocked only if you clear each level extremely fast. It's ridiculous. I couldn't unlock the bonus levels because I don't like…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love this game! I typically hate puzzle games that rely on execution, rather than just logic to solve the puzzle, but I love the Stealth Inc series, even though the puzzles are primarily execution based! The game mechanics and level design are great, blending together to make a wonderful puzzler experience. It usually has a checkpoint after difficult parts, so I usually don't have to restart the entire level on every failure. There are some levels that do have a long section that you have to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a great puzzle platformer. I like everything about this game so a big recommend from me.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Before I played this... I had a small wee wee, no friends, no girlfriend, depression and absolutely no will to live. None of these things have changed, but the game is pretty good.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My Stealth Bastard Deluxe Video Review: https://youtu.be/N1hvvCaCyeA Can I recommend Stealth Bastard Deluxe to casual players and their families with clear conscience? There are for sure many things that I like about the game - good level design, many interesting puzzles to solve, functional system of light and dark, challenging yet not frustrating difficulty, responsive and user friendly controls, online leaderboard, beautiful pixel art graphics and atmospheric music. There are also some…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I can't believe it took me this long to play this game! For something that came out almost eight years ago, it's surprisingly innovative and addictive. It's not an exceptionally long game, you can beat it in a day if you keep pushing along, but it was a lot of fun! Challenging to the point of being ridiculous, but not Souls-like difficult. It's stealth and trial and error. If you're not the sort of person who enjoys puzzles games where you WILL fail several times as you figure out the correct…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cute game. Couldn't finish it. My 60+ hands just don't have the response timing required. Managed to get halfway thru Sector 6 before having to stop as I'm not capable of going further.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →5/10 grab it on sale
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →a lot of trial and error, but solid enough game mechanics to make it mostly feel like your fault when you die.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →awesome game underrated
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty good Platformer and i recommend,but it's strange to see only partial controller support for this type of games
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My initial reaction was positive. I enjoy stealth games, efficiency puzzles, and puzzle platformers. After 90 minutes or so, the horrible graphic filter, the questionable hit boxes, and floaty controls pushed me away. Stick to Mark of the Ninja and/or Assassin's Creed Chronicles; China.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love this game, very fun, absolutely recommend. I hope they come out with a 3rd game soon
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the finer 2D puzzle-platforming games out there. You have to solve the chambers while avoiding and using the elements of the security system at the same time. The game consists of "worlds", each of which introduces a new element. The cherry on top of the cake is getting S rank in each level. You have to master not just the individual puzzles, but the movement as well, because the time constraint is strict sometimes. The real challenge arrives with the DLC that includes levels an order of…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very clever puzzlle platformer with a heavy emphasis on stealth. The game is divided into multiple chapters, each one focusing on a specific new game mechanic, which keeps things fresh. The chapters don't outstay their welcome, and end with a "boss" level, where a big turret watches around almost the entire map. The puzzles are very clever and satisfying to finish. Checkpoints are very generous, which makes dying almost never frustrating. There's a level editor and score boards to compare…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this is one of my favourite games. Yowzers. It's a very fun puzzle platformer with stealth elements, the gameplay is great and feels really satisfying, and the puzzles are fun to figure out. The soundtrack is stellar one of my favourites, and the graphics and writing style of the game is great sporting a somewhat silly sarcastic comedic tone throughout. I really reccommend giving this game a chance, especially if you like 2D platformers, as it has a lot going for it. Unfortunately, there is a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty cool Stealth Bastard Deluxe 7/10 Heisen
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is excessively, painfully linear. There is one correct path for each level, many hazards that are hidden until you've tripped them, and collectibles that are often hidden behind invisible walls. Gameplay past the first few levels consists of rote memorization of where each hidden trap is. The best term to describe this might be "over-tuned", but I certainly wouldn't call it "fun".
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A challenging platformer with good level design. a little confused about the name though given the lack of any real characterisation of the player character, an alternate title was something along the lines of " a clone in the dark" which just seems neater. There s a lot more for people who like to do replays and get unlockables. 7/10- decent enough platformer with some challenge

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A flawed, but charming puzzle platformer with a great soundtrack. Expect to repeat levels to get your timing perfectly.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Perfect game! The puzzles are pretty good and "AHA" moment is super satisfying. I love the graphic style, music and mood.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Disclaimer: My scores/reviews are almost always based on having bought the game at close to the "lowest historical price" on steam at time of purchase. Quick score: 5/5
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →cool, except for the highscore crap good, charming platformer. The reason I stopped playing it though was because this game has such an emphasis on getting the fastest time/highscore... It's annoying and depressing to see "you are 26854th out of 48957players" plus a list of people that were faster than you, every time you finish a level. I'M NOT TRYING TO SPEEDRUN OK???? otherwise good game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →another flash game on steam wow
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Stealth and platforming done right Stealth Bastard Deluxe is a really interesting take on the platformer genre, combining traditional platforming with stealth mechanics in a way that works surprisingly well. The stealth is easily the highlight of the game. Instead of simply running and jumping through the levels, you have to pay attention to enemy patrols, security cameras, lights and your surroundings, figuring out when to move and when to stay hidden. The mechanics are simple enough to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a really solid 2D stealth platformer with a great sense of humor and tight level design. The core gameplay is genuinely fun — sneaking past guards, hiding in vents, timing your movements, and occasionally stabbing someone when things go wrong. The pixel art is clean, the levels are well-crafted with multiple paths, and the increasing difficulty curve keeps things interesting. There’s a nice variety of gadgets and mechanics that get introduced as you progress, and the “test chamber”…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun little platform puzzler game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great way to spend a few hours. Puzzles are not too difficult: anyone can find a solution with some thinking. There is a well-judged skill and mechanics progression throughout the game. The experience is polished and even funny. Extra skills are unlocked every time a level is completed, and can be used to compete on an online leaderboard for the fastest time. It also has a level editor and community levels... though it looks like the server was shut down in 2021 😞 Those are nice touches for…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am 32 years old. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very good puzzle/platformer.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Absolutely awful JUNK GAME. Nothing to do w/stealth. False advertising. I got stuck on 1-5....I mean actually stuck, I could not proceed from a simple room. I probably put the thing in the wrong place and either the designers didn't foresee it or they don't care. I doubt I'll ever play this game again, another waste of money. I'd rather play with one of those paddles with a ball on a string. I guess i should have read the reviews before buying. Apparently there's lots of glitches. Steam is a…
