Crawl Tactics PC Game 2022 review:
It is fresh. And it’s funny. This game seems like a good deal. However, due to the nature of roguelikes, you have to repeat similar plays several times when unlocking, so it can be boring.

Crawl Tactics is a unique hybrid of tactical RPG and roguelike. Manage a party of adventurers and use the environment to your advantage to conquer the dungeon. Procedural rooms, weather, and interactives provide plenty of options to keep your units alive while destroying your foes. Battlefields are quite readable despite an elevation system and loads of objects on maps.
Crawl Tactics is a TRPG with a novel twist: It altogether foregoes a conventional campaign mode for a roguelike hybrid experience. This makes for a different experience than most similar games, which is quite a bit more challenging than most. There are also a few interesting features in the combat system, including traps that can be chained together to bring ruin to the battlefield and elemental effects that can change the nature of the battlefield (e.g. igniting dry grass or freezing water).
If you like crawl-Esque games that have a Darkest Dungeon-esque battle map, feature FFT/Tactics Ogre-Esque combat, and have a similar charm to Into The Breach, you will probably like this game. Not sure how deep the systems go yet, but the simple enjoyment of trying to get a lucky dice roll for loot and trying not to get wiped after chancing a shrine can keep it going for more than a few hours of playtime.
Pros of Crawl Tactics:
- Turn-based tactical battles, pitting the team you built against groups of vicious enemies.
