Crawl
Crawl is the local multiplayer dungeon crawler where your friends control the monsters! Battle through dungeons and power up your hero - if a friend kills you they take your place and it’s their turn to crawl. It's a race to gain enough XP and loot to take on the hulking final boss!

“This is not really for me. Its a multiplayer centric game with only local coop. The essence of the gameplay is "screwing each other over until someone wins". You really need a group of people to play with you for that…”
