Our take on The Excrawlers
The defining structure is consequence-driven dungeon progression: encounters can be handled through aid, violence, or avoidance, while five boss fights stand between the character and escape.
What is The Excrawlers?
The Excrawlers is an action RPG focused on slashing through dungeons populated by monsters.
Progress involves completing challenges and defeating five bosses while uncovering why the character is trapped there. Encounters with unusual characters allow three approaches: helping them, killing them, or avoiding them, with consequences tied to those decisions. Skill progression and equipment choices support different character builds. A modifier system can combine changes such as creating doppelgangers, firing flaming arrows, or using explosive arrows, giving each run a different setup. Exploration covers five distinct areas, including a metal cavern inhabited by medieval robots and a parallel dimension with hidden secrets. A demo is available.
