A tense, throwback action platformer that feels like surviving chaotic retro games with limited health and relentless enemies.

What players say
Players say Crypt Stalker is a short Castlevania homage with fast, slippery movement that splits opinions. Some praise the fair challenge and retro art, while others call the controls janky and the later levels too punishing.
