About Knight Crawler

Step into the boots of Cyrus, a medieval knight trapped in an endless dungeon. Knight Crawler is a top-down action roguelike where each run is unpredictable, unforgiving, and ruthless. Explore procedurally generated rooms (or depth) that change with every playthrough

Challenges

Each room entered poses a new challenge, whether that be a new enemy, an enhanced previous enemy, or an increased number of enemies. As you dive deeper, you face foes ranging from a little rat to an uncontrollable wizard shooting flurries of fireballs. The challenge isn't just to survive, but to adapt.

Key Features

On your journey, you will encounter health potions, weapons, shops, and blacksmiths. Collect coins to purchase and upgrade your weapons. Weapons can have up to 6 modifiers, ranging from simple damage boosts to lightning, lifesteal, and legendaries.

Review: Fun, challenging, and made with care and passion. It blows my mind that this was a first-time solo-dev by a young developer. Full disclosure: The developer is my son. But bias aside, this game is the real deal. Knight Crawler is a great find for anyone who wants a genuinely challenging dungeon crawler with great enemy variety and solid progression. The game progression is smooth, the variety in enemies and weapons keeps you thinking, and the difficulty ramps up perfectly. It shows a maturity in game design that you don't often see in debut titles. I’m encouraging everyone to post their highest dungeon level; it’s tough, but very fun to play. If you want to support a young, up-and-coming developer, give this a shot.

This is more like class project for game development class than a true game. There is no progression, there is no fun, levels past one are repeat of the same. Plus: sword looks like a pool noodle (why does sword wiggle). pros: works playable Cons: there is no progression its one level repeating
