Treasurestalker (Landstalker fan-sequel)
**If you like this project, PLEASE consider to rate it - THANKS :) **
This is my attempt of a fan-sequel to our beloved Landstalker! If you don't know: Landstalker was a fantastic, isometric Action-Adventure on the SEGA Genesis.
Demo: This short demo only covers a the beginning on the planned game.
WIP: Everything is work-in-progress. Please understand that issues, bugs and edges will occur. I'd be happe to read your feedback below.
Clearification: This is a fan project. It is not produced or endorsed by SEGA CORPORATION or Climax Entertainment. All assets are properties of their respective owners.
Special thanks to Sprite Database and LLH for providing graphic assets.
Tested on Windows PC, Android Handheld and Steamdeck (see below).
Controls:
- You can adjust control in the options (except for Steamdeck, see below)
- In the beginning, either use gamepad or arrow keys on keyboard
- Saving is done automatically or by praying to the statue of the goddess. Use "continue" option to pick up you saved state. Starting a new game will erase your saved status.
Known issue:
- On certain devices, the game might be too fast on start, but will slow down to 60ps after some seconds.
- Controls on Steamdeck are a little bit weird for now: Y for Jump, R2 for Action and A for menu.

Ooooooh thank you so much!
I’m a very fan of Landstalker since the beginning.
And I was waiting for a fan made game for such a long time.
I hope so that someday, Someone make an entire one.
Do you have a discord account in order to follow your work?
Your're welcome :) I don't happen to be on Discord very often, at least for now, I plan on posting my updates here on Itch.io.
I tried it on Steamdeck.
Can’t access to the menu mode or map.
Directional is not perfect.
but I will try again on desktop.
By the way, I can feel all the love in it, and as a fan of Landstalker myself i’m totally find again that good old feelings. Thank you so much for this.
Two questions:
At this point, can we get the chest in the first area on high?
And other: can we do something on the strange cavern with strange statues and lamp?
Hey man, this is the first in-depth feedback I get regarding actual contents and mechanics - thanks a lot for that!
Easy questions first: No, nothing to do in the tunnel right now, it will become more important later on. And yes, you can actually reach the high chest at the harbour^^
Here comes the hard part: First off, thanks for testing on Steamdeck! It worked for me in keyboard mode, with Chrome in fullscreen. Which setup did you use? Since directional is tracked via arrow keys, you could still switch controls I assume to diagonals e.g. Anyway: It's very far from perfect, I think this might be an issue with gamepad support in Browsers that I need to dive deeper on or maynbe I would have to export to another format for better support. I also had some issues when switching between an XBOX and an 8 BitDo Controller on my laptop. All in all this seems to be more annoying than I had anticipated, but surely something that can be fixed.
Cheers!
You are exactly working on what I have been dreaming of ... for centuries!
Thanks! You're a Landstalker fan as well?
Yes, absolutely. It's been the gem of my collection and my gaming memories ever since I got it. I knew almost nothing about it back then and just snapped it up one day at the mall. I also like the quirkiness of Dark Savior. I've dug into everything over the years and frequently came across your YouTube channel.
