Pros
Pro Unique gameplay that blends cooperation and betrayal into a fun mix
The overarching objective of Crawl is for the lone hero to enter a dungeon, find the boss, and strike it down. However, other players wish to take that glory as well, and will use all means possible to make themselves the heroes by striking the killing blow. Whoever plays as the hero must struggle through the dungeon, killing monsters and gaining money and experience to get new equipment and grow stronger. All the while, the other players take control of monsters and traps and attempt to kill the hero. Players controlling the monsters must work together, but they can’t get too comfortable because the act of killing the hero causes the roles to reverse. The player who was controlling the monster now has the chance to be the hero, and must prepare to defend against the monsters that were once allies.
