Is DuneCrawl worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Players who want open-world action with island quests and dungeon exploration
- Small groups looking for local or online cooperative play for up to four players
- Action-RPG players interested in loot, vehicle upgrades, and varied combat
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a tightly linear adventure may find the open-world island and quest structure too diffuse.
- Players who want one consistent combat style may find the shifts between crawler battles, boarding, on-foot fighting, and creature riding a poor fit.
- Players seeking a stealth-focused adventure may not find that emphasis here.
- Players looking for a solo-only game may not want the cooperative play focus, though solo play is available.
Our take on DuneCrawl
Players who want a single combat system may hit a wall as the game moves between operating cannons, repairing crawler legs, boarding, fighting on foot, and riding creatures. Those who prefer a solo-only experience may also find the cooperative focus a mismatch, though solo play is available.
What is DuneCrawl?
DuneCrawl is an open-world action-adventure game set across desert seas.
Players travel aboard a giant crustacean equipped with cannons, visiting islands, completing quests, collecting loot, and entering secret dungeons.

Masks, Tunics, and Talismans grant player abilities, while weapons and crawler upgrades include the Buzzooka, Acid Harpoon, Spike Armoured legs, and Guided Torpedoes. The game also features rideable creatures, including Beetles, Nymphs, Scorpions, and Ball Bugs.
