What is Crawl?

When the hero falls, the player who dealt the killing blow takes the hero’s place, turning the tables in a fast‑paced race to become the ultimate survivor and face the final boss controlled collectively by the remaining players. The game blends bullet‑hell combat, classic RPG progression, and party‑game chaos for up to four players on any platform.
