Reverse Crawl

201580/100
Role-playing (RPG)StrategyTurn-based strategy (TBS)AdventureIndie
Reverse Crawl strips the dungeon-crawling formula bare, tasking you with controlling the monsters instead of the heroes. Each turn presents a tactical puzzle, as you position your meager horde to ambush the approaching adventurers, utilizing a variety of monster types and abilities. The game's appeal lies in its satisfying asymmetry; outsmarting the AI-controlled heroes and turning their hubris against them is a devilishly clever experience.
