Crypt Stalker is an 8-bit styled metroidvania platformer, filled to the brim with slay-able demons and trap-filled rooms. Today, RedDeer.Games has brought Crypt Stalker to Nintendo Switch, giving you the chance to satisfy your retro action hunger.
Crypt Stalker is set in a sinister world where demons have taken over and destroyed everything. They have no care for that was once dear to humanity. You are Gladys, one of the last representatives of the ancient warriors. You are known as a Stalker, the only ones who can save the world from complete annihilation.
Tasked with defeating demons before they destroy Earth, your mission will not be simple. Demons appear in crypts every 90 solar eclipses. This time, they appeared in the pyramids of the damned, in the middle of a desert. With the portal to the demon realm opened, you have but one mission: to prevent the demon invasion from taking place. Armed with a trusty cyber whip in hand, a reliable laser gun, and a powerful side arm on the hip, you must do everything in your power to achieve the impossible

Crypt Stalker features nine stages, each with diverse locations. You’ll visit pyramids, a lake of fire, and overgrown ruins. Within the stages are 13 levels, each of which finish with big bosses that stand in your way. All of this will be available in two difficulty levels: original and casual mode.
Crypt Stalker debuted on PC back in 2020, where it was met with a very positive response. Now, thanks to RedDeer.Games, Nintendo Switch players can also get in on the retro metroidvania action. The publisher is making waves with this process. In particular, the recently released Nintendo Switch edition of Warhammer 40,000: Dakka Squadron has brought significant attention to the publisher.
