I just keep coming back to watch that narrated trailer, it's pure poetry

What happens when Dark Souls, Mario Party, and pure spite have a baby. One person plays the hero, everyone else is a ghost possessing monsters and traps trying to kill them. Whoever kills the hero becomes the hero. Cue endless chaos, betrayal, and yelling across the room.

The pixel-art perfection, the monsters are gross in the best way, and the soundtrack sounds like a demon DJ set. No online mode—gotta play local, which means you get to watch your friend’s face as you become a giant eyeball and ruin their run. Beautiful.

Basically:
1. Kill your friends
2. Become the hero
3. Get betrayed
4. Repeat forever

10/10, would scream at my friends again.

FUN

one of the best (and only) 4 player couch coop games.

Really good game and a cool consept! ;D

A retrospective backstab of a dungeon crawler where you and your party of generic human dudes are all secretly rivaling cultists serving the darkest deities imaginable..

On paper, Crawl has one of the greatest gameplay loops in recorded history. Wake up in the light of the campfire hearing the calling of your dark master, draw your blade and slay your comrades all in a bid prove your worth to the dark gods, or slowly rot away forgotten in the depths below..

The game is simply a battle between the current “human” and the monstrous forms offered by the fallen companions' choice of dark god. Each run you choose a deity under whom you serve, and depending on your choice different monsters become available to you as you get to spawn in rooms where the evil is at its strongest. During the run you get to upgrade your hero as well as the monsters you inhabit in a constant tug-of-war between the players. The monster who deals the killing blow to the hero gets to restore their humanity and gets to dress in the flesh of man again, only to be harassed by the rest of the monstrous host. The game has a slight roguelike aspect to it in that you unlock new weapons and equipment by unlocking feats and achievements, but the gameplay itself is rather self explanatory.

In short this game is a great example of a retro arcade dungeon crawler with a twist, and I really like the asymmetrical setting where the different deities grant different boons and monsters. It is at its best as a game enjoyed on a couch with an assortment of beverages blasting Candlemass on the speakers..

Conclusion: Highly recommended lightweight game for the local arcade game nights. It works well online as well, but with less tantrum and a slightly more psychotic feeling to it..

This is one of the best and most unique games I've ever played.

very cool and unique local-co-op party game i like it quite a lot

this game is a good time with friends with lots of unlocks and content but i do not recommend playing with a keyboard due to the major disadvantage of not being able to attack diagonally very well. i really love the monster upgrade system but a majority of long range attackers early game feel a bit under-powered compared to other monsters. all in all its a good time but can be bit repetitive at times

Fantastic local co-op game with a good amount of content and replay-ability. 4 player is wonderful insanity. The computer players on hard are a satisfying challenge. The fact that losers have their names wiped from the player list is a great cherry on top.

cool

Very fun with friends. I want to play more. Hey friends lets play more

Magnificent game, hope they made second one with multiplayer support, game is very good but not so popular because first one had no online multiplayer support unfortunately, i love thr idea about that game

This is one of the coolest game ideas I've ever come across. Kicks even more ass when played with friends. Remote play together works like a charm!

Nice.

Awsome game sadly only works is multiplayer

Only complaint is that there is no online play, other than that a very fun multiplayer dungeon crawler

There is no other game like crawl. Cool atmosphere, unique gameplay great pixel art graphics. The only thing it lacks is multiplayer.

pick it up and support a great indie dev.

This is one of neatest couch coop experiences you can have. Grab some friends and go kill each other repeatedly in a dungeon!

Banger of a party game

I bought this to play on mac with controllers but it doesnt work so i dont know how to score this game. it does not work with mac.

Great game

Awesome party game, good single player minigame type of thing too. Fantastic idea.

The game is SIGMA

Fire game and amazing concept. A sequel or some sort of successor is seriously needed, this game is lightning in a bottle.

A fun game about beating your friends to death to escape a dungeon, except there's not really many threats that AREN'T your friends

This is very entertaining

awesome fun

This game is great. The music is great, the graphics are great, the competitive nature makes it brutal for parties. I have never played this game single-player, but it's a blast with friends. Honestly one of the best local multiplayer games I've played in years.

I think my favorite part is progressing the baddies that you can use to haunt. I wish there was a single-player campaign of some sort, but I don't mind being just as out of practice as the people I play with. This got a lot of offline play in the desert.

the longest tutorial of my life, and none of it's necessary. it doesnt even tell you how to skip the tutorial until the end of the tutorial. why?

this is an awesome game w/ a great concept, super fun w/ friends

Crawl

Has a total of 6 trading cards.

My favorite local multiplayer game to break out when folks are over and we have 30 mins to kill. I love the constantly shifting 3v1 dynamic and the rubberbanding mechanics where even if you're not the active player, your monsters get stronger and that feels fun too.

This is a certified sleepover banger

Very interesting game but it would be better to get a multiplayer version, I bought it because I thought it could be played multiplayer. It's still good, it has a lot of potential. But it's not worth the price because it can't be played multiplayer.

If you're looking for a couch co-op game, I highly recommend this one. At the start of the game you choose your monster, spawn in and everyone as humans fight each-other to the death. The one who wins is the hero doing the dungeon diving. Everyone else gets to be ghosts that can haunt things (traps, throwable objects etc.), summon slimes or summon oneself as the monster form they chose- in certain areas. There's a store for the hero to interact with and every time you go deeper into the dungeon you gain points to level up your monsters- the hero getting the least and the person losing the most getting the most points to level up. At level 10 you can fight the boss to try to earn your victory against other players. Its incredibly fun and you should give it a shot.

That being said I do not recommend playing online through remote play, every time you go through a door to another room it lags, badly, I think this is steams fault and less so the games but whose to say. This ruins the natural cycle of the game-loop this game is, you can do things to make it work but its frustrating, unfair and just not worth it.

An amazing couch co-op game, but not accessibly playable online (unless everyone who's playing is on the same wifi but even then there's a bit of lag). I can only hope the devs do an update for online multiplayer, or that they make a completely new game for online players (still with the ability to couch co-op), that has more monsters, maybe some kind of rng loot rooms with deadlier traps (depending on the loot) and maybe rng stats for heroes so its not just the monsters getting stronger (although the shop already goes crazy and ofc you want the monsters to be stronger, so that everybody gets the chance to play as the hero). They could do a ton of really cool stuff with this games base concept.

TLDR: AMAZING COUCH CO-OP GAME BUT BAD REMOTE PLAY- if you're thinking of getting this for online multiplayer, don't. Do with this what you will.

My go-to couch counter-op game. Up to four player local multi, controls and concept is so easy to pick up that even non-gamers enjoy it. Gorgeous, clean pixel art, rounds are quick, and the roguelike unlock system will keep you coming back. Parents coming over? Friends sick of Smash Bros? Throw on Crawl. It's even on consoles, so you can get it there if you can't set up multiple controllers on your PC. I just hope for more varied boss battles and other content one day, because this is a solid game and only three different bosses is kinda dull. You'll be having so much fun with your friends that it's not a big deal though

Classic

this game goes hard. where a bunch of triple A games fail, Crawl has an incredibly intuitive, clean way of multiplayer. the controls are so simple and you can bind it to basically anything that outputs to a computer, and I love it. no more steam controller support bull shit, just press buttons then boom be far superior than ur friends.

oh yeah, the game is really good too i guess. i love couch co-op. and cool ass visuals. and couch co-op.

8/10

This is an awesome game, but would be massively improved with an online multiplayer component. The Steam Remote Play is very cumbersome to use and sometimes doesn't work very well.

Now that i'm monster, i don't have to pay fortune for monster energy drinks.

No online multiplayer. Game itself is good and fun, but no online multiplayer.

Amazing premise for a game, baffling there's no real online support

Great game, but its missing the Coop-online mode

This is a go to party game from my childhood.
It has fun progression, crazy combos, and a good competitive nature.
The art and music are such a vibe, and has GABE!
Now go beat your friends up and make some memories.

it the bestest game in the whole wide world and fun with family

One of the best party games I've ever played
