Crawl

+1
Crawl's brilliance stems from its asymmetrical multiplayer, where one player controls the hero while the other three embody monstrous enemies. This unique setup transforms the dungeon crawl into a chaotic battle of survival and betrayal, as the monster players vie to kill the hero and claim their spot. The procedural generation and constant threat of other players create a frenetic, unpredictable experience that keeps you on your toes, regardless of which side of the conflict you're on.
Crawl is the local multiplayer dungeon crawler where your friends control the monsters! It’s bullet-hell beat-em-up meets old-school RPG, in an arcadey party-game for up to 4 players. One player is the hero, exploring a randomly generated dungeon full of traps and monsters - all controlled by the other players. If you slay the hero you take their place and it’s your turn to crawl! Then it's a race to gain enough XP and loot to reach the final battle, where it's all on one as the other players collectively control the hulking final boss!
