Delicious chaos on a stick.Controller is a must, kb&m feels awkward.Visually, Crawl leans into the charm of 16-bit arcade aesthetics, but it’s far from bland nostalgia.As the hero, you explore a series of procedurally generated rooms, collecting gold and experience by slaying monsters, breaking barrels, and surviving…Why it fits

Who might skip it
