If you’re looking for a throwback to classic sidescrollers with a holiday twist, Krampus Quest will fill that void this year. Take control of Krampus as he journeys north this holiday season to take on the man in red himself in this Castlevania-inspired adventure.



Once a valued sidekick to Santa Claus, Krampus would dole out punishments to naughty children while Santa would reward the more virtuous. This fearsome duo hit a disagreement when Santa wanted to treat and reward all children equally. Krampus disagreed and was sentenced to fester in a cell for many years. Now, a stranger has released Krampus back into the world, and he’s ready to exact his revenge on jolly old Saint Nick with whips and magical powers.

Players will take control of Krampus in the retro-style game, demolishing foes and dodging clever traps by using a whip to smack enemies or grapple across platforms. As you make your way to the North Pole, you can use the souls you acquire from your victims to upgrade Krampus, purchasing sub-weapons and upgrades to take on the surprisingly-monstrous creatures that lie on the route to Santa’s workshop.

So, if your idea of holiday cheer involves taking down Santa and monsters with a whip to the face, go check out Krampus Quest!
