Crawl is a macabre multiplayer game built around local multiplayer and today, it releases on Nintendo Switch, perhaps the perfect console for the title. In the game, players alternate between playing the hero and the enemies the hero encounters. Collectively, players battle to gain the most experience and loot as they race to face off against a massive final boss, which is controlled by all the enemy characters.

If this sounds like a recipe for a fantastic evening of local multiplayer, then you’d be right. I’ve personally enjoyed Crawl for years on Windows, even at the expense of having to lug around a gaming laptop and four Xbox controllers to show off the game to friends. The hassle was always worth it, but now that this game is out on Switch, I can give my back a break. A new trailer for the game uploaded by the game’s creators, Powerhoof, shows off how well the game lends itself to the flexibility of the Switch.
