Stormlord

Developer: Hewson Consultants

Stormlord is a moody fantasy side-scrolling platformer that challenges players to rescue imprisoned fairies across perilous landscapes. You guide the titular hero through gothic cliffs, treacherous jumps, and enemy-filled screens, using limited magical powers and precise timing to overcome traps and large end-stage bosses. Its tight controls, stark pixel art, and unforgiving level design evoke the late-80s arcade-to-home era, rewarding patience, pattern memorization, and exploration. Nostalgic yet brutal, Stormlord tests platforming skill with secret routes and item usage that separate cautious progress from frantic trial-and-error. Ideal for fans of classic difficulty and atmospheric retro action.
