Nefarious

Nefarious is an action platform game developed by StarBlade. Players control Crow, a supervillain who captures princesses to power his doomsday device. The game subverts typical video game boss fights by allowing the player to take the role of the boss against archetypical hero characters. The game was funded through a Kickstarter campaign, raising over $50,000, and was released on Steam for Linux, Microsoft Windows and OS X on January 23, 2017. Ports for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One were released in 2018. The game received mixed reviews from critics and has spawned a sequel webcomic series.
