    It's a good dungeon crawler, but it really shines when played with friends. Together with its remarkable audiovisual presentation, it's a very solid choice.

    An intense and pretty game dragged down by repetitiveness and scarcity of bosses. [07/2017, p.62]

    Crawl spent a long time getting to where it is now, and the results speak for themselves – it's the best time you'll have knifing your friends in the dark, betraying all bonds, and desperately trying to escape the clutching tentacles of the abyss.

Even while it's only in early access, the game could stand as a full release, ripe with content and fluid gameplay.

    As it is, here's what our top three elements of Crawl are:

    Aesthetics: Not only is it beautiful but the sound design and music is ingenious. It seriously never gets much better than this; the consistency between each aesthetic style is striking, making the player want to stay in as long as they can endure.

    Content Diversity: It's fantastic to see so much content already and they're updating it with more by the week. Player advancement leads to many different paths, which allows for a large span of strategies, which in our book is great design.

    Game Balance: Even the player that has been in last place has a chance of redemption throughout the entirety of the game. This not only allows for more strategies, but more importantly it allows for every player to have fun regardless of their status in each game.

    All in all there's very little that we can say bad about Crawl other than we want to see the finished version. It still runs the risk of losing it's strong game balance with the release of additional content, but we have our hopes that it will remain strong.

    Solid gameplay with several dozen monsters with wildly varying play styles. Human characters likewise have many weapon and equipment choicesSolid gameplay with several dozen monsters with wildly varying play styles. Human characters likewise have many weapon and equipment choices that greatly impact how one plays their character without encumbering the flow of the game in the slightest.

    When engaging in local multiplayer the different aspects come together to form a unique and unrivaled experience that I highly recommend.

    The only point of criticism I could possible deliver is that with only 3 different boss monsters with fixed arenas the end game sequence can become a bit repetitive after awhile, but it is a minor point that my gaming group has been able to overcome.

    Also the narration and ambient music for this game is A+ and on point.

    Oh. Em. Gee.

    Here is a game that will leave you and your 3 friends in tears and drenched in sweat after just 20 minutes. Pick your deity, upgrade your minions, and murder your friends. Each game is short, to the point, and usually full of hooting and hollering. The aesthetic of this game is unrivaled and the devs accomplished exactly what they sought out to achieve – short, wild, 2-button battles amongst your mates.

    The game is easy to pick up, and an absolute pleasure to play.
