Crawl Tactics

A really dedicated dev.

A hidden gem of a game. Easily a 7.5/10, maybe more. Here's why: What it delivers: - Dungeon delving: you get your dungeon and your party, sure. But you also get different paths, different biomes, different enemies for each biome, shops, loot, and everything else you could need to make sure no two runs are the same. - Town building: you get your little patch of respite, where you can build structures to complement your party composition with the appropriate gear, skills, and spells. - Character progression: custom build your heroes with a main class, a sub-class, and the possibility to progress to other classes, or even retrain in an old one while keeping your advancement. Run through enough classes and the build becomes unique for each character. What it still needs: - Polish: there are still some bugs in the game, although it gets patched very often and the discord community for it is quick to report any. The author will answer any report very quickly. - Ambience: the game has functional music, but maybe down the line we could see a bit more variety to it. All in all I've come to love this game and thoroughly recommend it to any fan of the trpg genre.

Don't be misled by the simple graphics; this game is quite deep and highly playable.

개발자가 진심임 가격대비 플탐 오지게 뽑고 있음 약간의 상상력만 있다면 여러 종족이랑 커마로 컨셉질 하면서 오래 가지고 놀 수 있음 추천

Игра неплохая, есть интересные задумки, большое количество классов, но однообразная.

10/10. Hard but rewarding. High replayability. A lot of interesting classes, subclasses and synergies to work with

Did you enjoy [b]Into the Breach[/b] or [b]Tactics Ogre[/b]? Did you love diving into the Deep Dungeon or experimenting with random encounters in [b]Final Fantasy Tactics[/b]? Do you like [b]roguelikes[/b]? Are you fine with a game that skips story to focus entirely on deep, rewarding combat? If you answered yes to most of the above, Crawl Tactics is absolutely for you. It’s a gem for anyone who enjoys TRPG/SRPG combat and roguelike mechanics. [b]The game’s early release looked rough, but since the December 11, 2025 v3.0 patch and subsequent updates, the developer has clearly put in serious work improving it.[/b] [h3]Pros:[/h3] [list] [*] Tactical combat Weather, elevation, traps, terrain reactions, chain reactions, party alignment, light resource management, light base management (in Quest mode), roster decisions, and occasional events all come together beautifully. [*] Unit customization A large ~40 class roster, class stat growths, stat‑up choices, class abilities, skill upgrades, subclasses (for humans), beast races, class rebirth, and equipment decisions provide excellent depth. [*] Two play modes A long‑term Quest mode with base progression, or a single‑run Dungeon mode with multiple starting party options for replayability. [*] Enemy and map variety Usually good and actively affects what units you consider to counter enemy composition, what abilities to swap in, and your approach to the map conditions. [*] Roguelike mechanics They fit naturally into the tactical framework. [/list] [h3]Neutral:[/h3] [list] [*] Class balance Most of the ~40 classes are fun and have a niche, but a few feel outclassed or too situational. [*] Soundtrack Solid, but not memorable. Nothing bad, nothing standout. [*] UI Tooltips can be unclear, and some mechanics require checking Community Discussions. The encyclopedia helps, and the UI has improved over time with ongoing iteration. [*] Grind Default difficulty settings can feel grindy, but difficulty options let you boost experience gain and other modifiers, hence not a con. Long-term progression is tied to grinding out a limited resource. If you enjoy the combat, then new play options naturally open up as you finish experimenting with your current options. Some may even prefer this. [*] Events and quests They add light variety but rarely change tactical decision‑making in a meaningful way. [/list] [h3]Cons:[/h3] [list] [*] No story. This can be a pretty massive con and a reason to skip the game. [*] Limited objective variety Most missions boil down to “defeat the enemy.” Compared to other SRPGs/TRPGs, objective diversity is lacking. [/list] [h3]Weird:[/h3] [list] [*] Gender‑related mechanics There’s a [i]Jealous of Female[/i] effect that blocks recruiting more female units, event female units sometimes require a male or female leader, and an all female enemy group that specifically targets male‑led parties. Note, there is no [i]Jealous of Male[/i] equivalent effect, nor event male units requiring specifically a male or female leader, nor all male enemy groups targeting female‑led parties. [/list] [h1]tldr[/h1] A great combat‑only TRPG/SRPG with roguelike elements that scratches the Tactics Ogre or Final Fantasy Tactics strategy itch. Fully recommended if you don’t mind the lack of story and want 60–100+ hours of excellent tactical combat.
