Reverse Crawl

Had this game gathering dust in my library for years, then gave it a spin yesterday night, and it was quite fun. Playthrough took about 5 hours.

I have barely scratched the surface of this game, I'm sure, but I just had one of the most visceral negative reactions I have ever had to a video game. There is no gameplay element that makes this feel at all like "you are the dungeon." This is a very false claim. Everything is extremely crude and simplistic. Really, I just have never been more turned off by the interface and appearance of a game. I just can not continue playing this.

It's fun especially for the absurdly low price tag, but honestly the way the game is set up makes it too easy. This is especially true if you use the spider wave because the Spider Queen is stupid busted.

A neat little game that is worth the price, currently going for 6$. Expect to get maybe 3 hrs of content to beat the game and if you like run it again to see some variations in minions and abilities.

The Good Stuff Cute and charming art styleSilly story and fun characters Helpful tutorial for new players Great music that fits the theme Easy-to-learn combat Quick retry option after you lose Extra content like multiple endings, New Game +, and endless mode Rats are very strong The Bad Stuff Units stack on top of each other and look messy in fights No way to rotate the 3D camera view You cannot choose where to place summoned minions on the map Random luck (RNG) can feel tough sometimes, but it fits the genre

Fun short game.
