I like the concept for this game a lot, and getting it to work with my friends was always a blast. That being said, not having dedicated multiplayer is a huge problem. It's not as much fun without other people, but using third party programs to emulate having everyone in the same place made it work just fine.
very cool concept
Very fun, although it gets a little boring after a short while. Overall a fun game to play with friends on New Years Eve.
Very fun and unique take on a dungeon crawler. Best played with friends.
Great Local Multiplayer game right here yall! You can even unlock gaben somehow(?) Anyways this game has a nice balance since the players that are not playing as the hero constantly level up increasing their chance to become the hero. Very satisfying.
I think this is genuinely one of the coolest games I own, everything about it is just right: The Narrator fucks, the pixelart is goofy and beautiful, the gameplay is very varied and fun thanks to all the different monsters present, and the concept of mixing the Mario party 3v1 gameplay with a roguelite dungeon explorer is innovative and wonderful for a party game.
The biggest sin this game committed was not having mod support, followed closely by not making more updates after adding the third boss. Seriously, the bosses get old real fast when you get the same one three games in a row.
It's legit my only problem with it: I want more of it.
If they made a sequel it could potentially be one of my favs games ever

I think this game is really good, however it has no multiplayer side to make it truly enjoyable. Its a good player game with enough enjoyment for a few hours with friends, however the price tag makes it a hard buy.
Very fun concept, combining PvP and Co-op in a single game is hard, but it's done wonderfully here
pirated this game back when it first dropped and played it hellaaa and then i bought it and i haven't touched it since. i remember it being extremely fun though so i need to make my crawlback
Amazing couch multiplayer game, just wish I had friends that would play this with me.
Players run the dungeon, dead players get to control traps and monsters. Seems like it might be fun in multiplayer but the solo experience was very limited.
the gigaretro artstyle makes this game genuinely so fucking hard to read
Esse jogo é otras ideia, curti
Fun couch co op, I can see why this isnt a mainstay for most co op games, the balance for working together and being competitive is not quite there. But I think it heavily depends on who you play with. It's alright
Has this chronic problem of the dominant strategy to be "wait for someone else to do something and try to snipe at the last second."; has some blatantly broken player items too which are global pool so the rest of the party misses out. It's very hard to feel like what you're doing matters, which is disappointing because conceptually I think the game presents fantastic ideas.
Cool concept, doesn't feel very good to play.
not much content, but was a fantastic game to play with friends while it lasted.
This game is hands down one of the best party games of all time. I love jackbox as much as the next guy, but Crawl perfectly balances the desires of a gamer (depth) with the simplicity for a layman (there are literally 2 buttons). The handicap mechanics are so strong yet fair and you never feel cheated. It's a wonderful game and I'd recommend to anyone looking for something other than Jackbox games (for up to 4 people)
This is a remarkable local multiplayer game, for many reasons. The idea is innovative, it has a wide variety of items and monsters, and it ties together cooperative and competitive elements well.
My only critiques of Crawl are that:
1) The combat can start to feel a bit boring as the Hero after a while. I find myself usually settling into a similar combination of weapons and spells every run because:
2) The items are not very well balanced. There will always be better and worse items, sure, but when the imbalance is so strong that my friends and I have to ban a couple (such as that shield that makes you invincible when you face away from attacks) because they are so overcentralizing gameplay there is an issue. It appears pretty much every other run too because the item pool is relatively small.
3) There is no online multiplayer available. I know that it was never really promised by the developers, but I think that would greatly improve the replayability of the game, especially if your in-person friends are starting to get tired of it and you want to keep playing.
Overall, Crawl is a great game. I know I mostly focused on the negatives in this review, but I would recommend it to anyone looking for a local multiplayer game.

Really cool concept, art, music, and designs. Battle mechanics were also decent. That being said, it gets repetitive even faster than other dungeon crawlers.
An incredible modern take on old school arcade and couch-coop style gaming.
Definitely one of my favorite examples of an intrinsic rubber band mechanic: Players have affable versus gameplay, but whenever the Human players level up, all opposing Monsters level up, resulting in more opportunities for the Humanity to be traded more often. To make it more exciting, the Monster Role goes not to who dealt the most damage, but who dealt the last attack, meaning it could go to anyone, which makes it all the more exciting. The perfect kind of couch versus. Required reading.
Un des meilleurs jeu a jouer avec des amis, le concept et génial et il y a pas mal de contenu avec lequel expérimenter
Straight up my favorite couch co-op game ever. It's a real shame that it doesn't have online co-op as it's hard to get my friends to play through Steam Remote Play Together and as we live far apart it's rare we get together at my place specifically to play this. I'm often daydreaming about making this into an arcade machine for myself. I wish I had the talent. This game deserves to be its own furniture.
terrific game! shoutout my hometown! :>
meilleur jeu de couch play
i mean its alright like
Crabs in a bucket = the videogame.
Extremely unbalanced game where whoever is the human has virtually no chance of surviving, and the boss fight is literally impossible. Not fun! After we all repeatedly failed the boss fight, we called it quits.
this game needs online play
