This was made in GameMaker Studio, but you can scarcely tell as the inventiveness on display here is outstanding, both in terms of art assets used and the gameplay itself.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
39 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Stealth Bastard Deluxe promises a whole lot with its slick presentation, great graphics and lovely soundtrack.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
37 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It all comes together very well with the difficulty being scaled well.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
29 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The aesthetic is dark and brooding with a sharp sense of humour, suiting the setting well...and the soundtrack is similarly appropriate.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
27 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Some of the sectors can feel a bit repetitive, pulling out too few mechanics for too long, and its for these reason I prefer the more dense and lax sequel, on top of it having a better story, soundtrack and emotional variance.
