Evaluation

Haunted Lands is a solo-developed retro action platformer that launched on March 10, 2026. Since release, developer Alevgor has been attentive to player feedback, shipping a series of patches: a bug fix update on March 13 (v1.0.5), a community-requested feature and bug fix update on March 20 (v1.0.7), a substantial update on May 19 (v1.0.9) adding a full checkpoint system, and a final bug fix on June 8 (v1.0.10). The last developer communication was on June 8, 2026. No further posts have appeared since then. The only DLC listed on the store is the soundtrack, which has already been released. No future content — named DLC, expansions, or a post-launch content roadmap — has ever been announced. The post-launch activity has been exclusively focused on bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements requested by players, with no indication of planned new content. The game launched as a complete package and the developer has made no statements suggesting additional content is coming. As of today (September 10, 2026), it has been approximately three months since the last developer communication, which is consistent with a developer wrapping up post-launch support rather than actively building new content.

About this game

Step into the blood-soaked Haunted Lands, a retro-inspired action platformer filled with hidden secrets and hardcore challenges. Choose from six unique characters, each fitting a different playstyle. Delve into perilous burial grounds crawling with evil spirits and nightmarish abominations. Acquire powerful artifacts to confront these horrors and find new ways to approach battles.

Haunted Lands is a solo-developed project by Alevgor, where every system, encounter, and detail is built by one developer.

Key Features

  • Unique Heroes: Choose one of six playable characters. Some prefer to demolish monsters from a safe distance, while others excel in close combat. Each has their own abilities and playstyle.

  • Dangerous Locations: Explore the ruins of the old crypts and tombs filled with evil spirits and otherworldly monsters. Blast your way through hordes of enemies, their elite versions, and challenging bosses.

  • Powerful Artifacts: Acquire artifacts to enhance your abilities, offering new ways to confront the horrors of the burial grounds. The most powerful items can change your character's skills entirely.

  • Hardcore Challenges: Find every secret hidden in the Haunted Lands, complete every objective, and leave behind nothing but corpses. Dare you descend into the very abyss of hell and come back unscathed?
