Go download! Free indie game!
Stealth games are awesome. Hiding from The Man, skulking in shadows, the thrill of the unseen infiltration. But why do they have to be so... slow?

Introducing Stealth Bastard: stealth, with a great big kick up the arse. A fast-paced, frenetic, one-step-away-from-chunky-death melange of sneaking, platforming, hacking and cursing. A whole lot of fun. It's like Metal Gear Solid and Super Meat Boy had a baby out of wedlock. Semi-literally.

Jump, sneak, and be horribly dismembered through 28 levels hand-crafted by our crack team of in-house design geniuses, some of the same folk behind the critically-acclaimed Fluidity/Hydroventure, and the retro-styled PSN platformer Explodemon!.

And once you're done with those? Fear not - Stealth Bastard includes a FULL in-game level editor - the same we used to create the bundled levels - and even allows you to share, play and rate the community's creations from across the world.

And if you thought that was cool, we've not even got to the best bit yet: Stealth Bastard is free. Not 'freemium'. Completely free.

Endless fun. Zero cost. What are you waiting for?

    So it's basically Yahtzee Crowshaw's The Art of Theft with a different art style and a level editor. I could get behind that.

    I just saw this in the steam thread and downloaded it.

    Loving it so far, kind of reminds me of the old Abe games.

    I downloaded this after seeing it in the Steam thread. I haven't checked it out yet. It really looks great though. The art style kind of reminds me of Puppy Games stuff, the guys who made Revenge of the Titans. Which is a plus in my book.

    Man. Some levels are real... bastards. So to speak.

    I can't get this game to work with my arcade stick. For some reason when it's plugged in it refuses any input direction but down (which it parses as up) even from my keyboard so I can't just joy2key workaround like I planned to.

    Engaging in some thread necromancy (hey, got to use up my quota of mod power abuse):
    Next month, anyone who did play the free version and found it pleasing will be able to purchase Stealth Bastard Deluxe from Steam. The price isn’t available yet, but the Deluxification comes in the form of eighty levels, new equipment, a connecting narrative and “lots of new ways to die”.

    Free version is still available. It's a quite excellent little bastard of a stealth game.
