About

CRAWLER is a Co-op VR Horde Shooter where you and a friend are intergalactic exterminators, hired to clear an alien infestation on a crimson, rocky planet.
Pilot your six-legged Mech through randomly generated missions, as you complete distinct objectives for your employer and exterminate hordes of bugs. With your earnings, return to home base and purchase new upgrades for your mech.
With a global deadline that decreases whenever your in a mission, you must act quickly if your to meet the ever growing Company Quota. As it rises, expect new environments and threats to make themselves known. Die, then run it all over again.

Blast them to pieces, Crush them underfoot!
Command a six-legged Mech built for extermination as you face off against endless hordes of alien vermin that spit, swarm and explode in a satisfying squelch. Combat in CRAWLER is intense, overwhelming, and engrossingly satisfying.

Meet the quota! (or buy upgrades)
Following each mission, return to base. Here you can select new missions, submit your quota and purchase new upgrades for your mech, from quick-firing mini-guns, to head tracked defense weaponry.

...But most importantly, exterminate with friends!
CRAWLER is designed around chaotic co-op action with two players. One brawls as the driver, while the other strikes from the turret. Communication and teamwork are mandatory for optimal bug extermination.

For being free, this game is good. Better than most free Steam VR games for sure. You can play solo. However, it's probably more fun playing with a buddy. You have the driver and the gunner controlling this mech tank and just taking out waves of enemies. Tank controls feel tanky and the gunner is definitely having most of the fun as long as the driver knows how to drive. If you're solo driving, you can left trigger aim and right trigger shoot while using head-aim. I'm just surprised it's completely free with no monetization of any kind. Will I keep playing it? Nah, but can't beat the price. Rate 7.5/10. Good for being free, better than that Gorilla Tag game that is no longer free.
I'll be transparent: I don't own a VR headset, but I know the developers IRL, so therefore I wanted to show my support for all their hard work they put in over the years to make this game by writing this review. To the devs, congratulations on launching your game and Godspeed on your future endeavors! You guys all rock and I hope you all go on to continue creating great things.

Really fun co-op VR game that plays like nothing I've ever seen before. My only real complaint is that I think the enemy variety should have more range than just more health and a different movement pattern, having weak points and enemies that act way different would be awesome. The coolest part for sure is climbing out to do the radar dishes and nukes, some stuff like that that you have to do in the back of the mech would be a neat addition and maybe even having a pistol or something you can use outside just for a backup. Overall it's really good and really free. Get somebody and play it, it's a ton of fun.
This kicks ass. I like stompy mech games, and while simplistic this is a goopy, messy blast. It's a VR game that runs well on a laptop, has almost instant networking, and doesn't cheap out on the swarm missiles. It's not a long game, but hot damn it's good fun with a friend. And it's free. That's the perfect price to convince a buddy to join. Honestly what are you waiting for?
Iam amazed how good this game turned out to be! (Especially considering the price!!) Great variety of guns and missions right from the start , co-op play working quite fine and only few minor bugs (which can be fixed by unstuck button or teleport) I tried demo when it was avaible and Iam so happy that devs listened to players feedback and gave us option for alternate controls, restocking ammo and healing! I would love to see more maps and enemy types in future (and maybe more interesting guns / gadgets) to add replay ability, as game will probably have shorter lifespan, but so far Iam really impressed! This is how feedback should work! Bottom line Get a friend and start blasting!
a fun simple game to play with a friend
This is an incredible game! My only complaint is that the driver doesn't have some way to actually play it solo, since to my knowledge the driver cannot use the mech's actual big guns, otherwise, it's absolutely diabolical that this is free.
Pew pew pew! Best Free VR Mech Crawler game on steam
Great game, loved it in the demo and it's even better now. Really fun, hope more updates come.
