Our take on Crawl Tactics

The focus on tactical battles brings a trade-off: encounters ask for attention to terrain, facing, weather, and traps rather than quick puzzle-solving. The two modes also split time between dungeon exploration and village management, so neither is presented as the sole campaign structure.

What is Crawl Tactics?

Crawl Tactics is a turn-based strategy RPG with two modes.

Dungeon Mode uses procedurally generated maps and battlefields, with encounters involving varied environments, enemies, NPCs, and events. Quest Mode centers on expanding a village, hiring mercenaries, and choosing quests; village invasions also lead to larger battles. Combat uses terrain, elevation, unit facing, weather, traps, and interactions such as pushing units or objects. Characters can be customized through skills, equipment, classes, techniques, and appearance. Parties can range from solo groups to 8 members. New Game Plus and Reverse provide further character development after the main dungeon.

How Crawl Tactics plays

01Terrain-based combat: Environmental effects include setting grass alight, electrifying enemies in water, and triggering traps in chains.
02Procedural dungeons: Generated maps and battlefields include settings such as forests, caves, ruins, and catacombs.
03Village and mercenaries: Construct buildings each turn, recruit mercenaries, and assign them to chosen quests.
04Character customization: Adjust skills, equipment, classes, techniques, and appearance to shape the party.
