What is Crypt Stalker?
This is a 2D action platformer set in desert pyramids, where Gladys fights to stop a demonic invasion. You jump between platforms, battle demons with a sidearm, and defeat stage bosses across nine levels. A separate monochrome handheld-style mode contains four new stages, alongside a boss rush and extra challenges.
