Crawl is amazing. It's a very unique and exciting local multiplayer game to play with friends. In short, one player is the hero and all other players (human or AI players) control the dungeon's traps and its monsters. Whichever of those gets the killing blow against the hero becomes the hero, and the dungeon crawl continues.

There are really good self-balancing systems built into the game that helps players who are "behind" to have a lot of fun and catch up, and there's a lot of variety between all the creatures, weapons, abilities, procedural level generation, and end bosses so that replayability is very high.

The only real drawback in Crawl is that the multiplayer is limited to local only. To that end I recommend playing with a controller, and if possible, treat it as a console game and play it on a big screen like a TV.

The art is incredible, the music is awesome, and atmosphere is wicked and the game's mechanics are really damn cool. I love this game, I'd give it a solid Spinal Tap 11/10 if I could.

Looks like a rip off of Half Life, 5/7.
