About CRAWLER

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.

DEFINITELY a must try. Game is genuinely fun, I don't even know how its free.
Recommended Sep 16, 2026
The controls are a little clunky and take time to get used to, especially the aiming with your head thing. you definitely need a friend to play with. it gets better and more chaotic on quota 2, however the enemies are kind of simple, at least in the beginning. I would like a little more mission variety other than the three current ones.

Awesome game, especially for free. Really cool mechanics- climbing out of the gunner seat to complete objectives feels really nice. I'd like to see some things for the driver to do other than driving, or some other things to do inside the tank other than just the gunner and driver seats.

Honestly, one of the BEST free VR games I've ever seen, and it's got the quality of a paid product!
Recommended Sep 7, 2026
Played this with a friend and it was a good amount of fun! Positives: - Player movement with grips and the overhead canopy is easy to use and suits seated play - Mech movement is good, I prefer using my joysticks rather than my arms - the gameplay loop is generally pretty good, it still feels a little under baked, but I only played the first 3 quotas and I am sure it will get more interesting - The weapons are fun to use and feel varried, I personally like the disk thrower the best so far -Runs good on my outdated system and using my oculus quest over steam link Things I would like to see: - (potential motion sickness inducing) but the mech could feel weighty with its steps making more noise and perhaps adding a little screen shake. think mech warrior games for instance. - The mech moves fairly slowly, but with the map size maybe that is okay. I would like it a touch faster - Audio doesn't feel directional enough, I found that it was hard to notice enemies that were behind me - Enemy colors that are more than just green would be nice. The spitters are wonderfully creepy with their legs, but it would be nice to see variety. - For enemy attacks, I would love to see more telegraphin…

Search Sekiro cheap and the results are keyshop listings, not a store discount. Our three-month price record explains the gap, and why so few live offers changes the advice.
