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!

Decent old-fashioned backstabbing fun.
This is a good couch co-op game. I think there's some issues with how the "endgame" plays out - it's like they figured out a fantastic idea for the main gameplay loop, then had no idea how to actually wrap it up and have someone win. They settled on needing to fight a boss, which can be rather anticlimatic depending on your loadout, level, and sometimes just pure luck.
Crawl still has an absolutely phenomenal aesthetic and soundtrack though, and it does a great job at evoking a classic co-op / counter-op arcade experience. Ultimately, something about it just felt unfinished and a little hollow in my 10-ish hours playing it.
