## What is Crawl Tactics?

Crawl Tactics is a game that combines classic turn-based tactics with rogue-like progression. In Dungeon Mode, explore procedurally generated maps that change every run and face challenging battles. In Quest Mode, develop your town, train mercenaries, and defend against increasingly powerful enemy invasions.

# Game Features #

* A True Tactical RPG Rather Than a Puzzle:

- Crawl Tactics is not a puzzle-like tactics game focused on trick solutions, but a classic, orthodox turn-based strategy RPG designed for fans of traditional SRPGs.
- It offers deep strategic gameplay that considers elevation, unit direction, weather, and terrain.

* Growth, Customization, and Building Your Ideal Party

- Freely customize a wide range of skills, equipment, classes, abilities, and appearances.
- Characters can be developed endlessly through New Game Plus after clearing the base dungeon, and through the Reverse system, which allows class reset even after advancing to higher-tier classes.
- Form your desired party composition, from solo play to full 8-unit battle parties.

* Combat Utilizing Environment and Traps

- Traps and terrain affect both you and your enemies. Set grass on fire, electrify enemies standing in water, and ignite poison clouds.
- Push and throw mechanics allow dynamic interactions by moving objects or units. Knock enemies off cliffs, push them into blade traps, or roll boulders to deal damage.
- Activate cannons and ballista traps to strike enemies from a distance. These traps can also trigger chain reactions for satisfying outcomes.

* Challenging and Ever-Changing Dungeon Mode!

- Dungeon Mode features exploration of dungeons composed of multiple rooms.
- Both the dungeons and their battlefields are procedurally generated, offering varied and challenging experiences.
- Diverse environments such as ruins, caves, catacombs, and forests appear, each with unique climates, monsters, and conditions.
- Each dungeon includes NPCs that may be hostile or friendly, unique mercenaries, valuable items, and distinctive events such as sieges and defense battles.

* Quest Mode Focused on Town Development and Character Growth

- In Quest Mode, you build structures each turn to develop your town and hire multiple mercenaries to assign to quests of your choice.
- Rewards vary depending on the type of quests completed each turn, and you can choose to increase difficulty, allowing for as much grinding as desired.
- Large-scale battles are also available through town defense events against invading monsters that occur every set number of turns.

## Key features

- Orthodox turn-based strategy RPG gameplay
- Procedurally generated dungeons
- Town development and mercenary management
- Environmental combat and traps

### 5/5 — Fantastic for mobile

*2026-08-24*

This is a well fleshed out dungeon crawler with a decently strategic RPG system akin to FF spanning dozens of abilities and spells across a handful of main classes then splitting into subclasses (reminiscent of D&D)  

5/5 When you’re experienced!

Despite just about all information being available not everything is incredibly intuitive even in regards to important buildings and mechanics. So I believe there could be a slight overhaul to the tutorial/textbox guides (maybe even a tutorial “quest” with a item reward incentive or your first hire being the saved tutor)

Leaving this lower down as it’s simply a “problem” fixed with playtime but I feel like it can deter some people - I write this only having experienced maybe 40%~60% of the games content so far

### 5/5 — Great game but report a bug

*2026-08-22*

The missile pod skill does not work properly. It is a cool skill, please fix it awesome devs! Edit: I leveled up the skill to lv3 (not sure whether this is a problem), what happened: the rocket launched and I saw the rocket hit the enemy. The enemy took no damage but the pod took all the damage and destroyed itself. I tested it today and the issue still existed.

**Developer response:** Oh my god, Sorry for not noticing it. It will be fixed in the next update.

### 5/5 — Price tag

*2026-08-12*

Great game that is well worth the price tag. Scratches the tactical SRPG itch for sure

### 5/5 — Better than FFT?

*2026-08-09*

This game keeps surprising me with new features, enemies, and unit types.  If you like FFT you will love this.  There is unit classes to choose from with special skills.  There is a ton of special gear to get.  There is some cool race choices for your characters.  There is even large scale battles.  If there is one down side, I would say the procedurally generated maps get a little ‘sameie’ feeling over time.  I do wish there was the periodic battle over elevation like the waterfall map in FFT, or across a mountain.  Otherwise I think I like it more than FFT, and that is a pretty high bar.

### 5/5 — 성공한 2차작품

*2026-08-01*

최고입니다 다음 후속작이 기대될 정도임

### 5/5 — 日本語訳の改善提案です

*2026-07-21*

早速反映いただいて感謝です🙏
追加でご提案です

37 の習熟　→槍の習熟
おそらく槍という漢字が出ていません。変換で出なければ、ヤリまたはスピアとカタカナで表記して下さい

42 両手持ちの習熟→二刀流の習熟
デュアルウィールドよりも二刀流と表現した方が違和感が無いです
サーベルとピストルなど2つの武器を使うイメージです

44 両手武器の習熟→両手持ちの習熟
2ハンド武器、こちらを両手持ち武器とした方が自然です
重い斧や大剣を持つ両手で持つイメージです

**Developer response:** 先日は今回と前回の翻訳修正のご提案をありがとうございました。返信すべきだったのですが、うっかり忘れてしまいました。ご提案いただいた翻訳にすべて修正しました。(v3.4.27) 上記の文章はChatGPTで翻訳しました。

### 5/5 — 日本語翻訳ありがとうございます

*2026-07-13*

有志の方が協力してくださったみたいで翻訳が改善された　　　本当に嬉しい

### 5/5 — 改善要望です

*2026-07-04*

ゲーム自体は面白いのですが、ところどころ日本語訳に違和感があります
さらにゲームに没入するために用語の変更を提案します

知能→知恵
敏捷性→器用さ
俊敏性→機動力
アライメント→道徳観

36 椅子の習熟→棍棒の習熟
37 の習熟→槍の習熟

24 エレメンタルマジック→元素の知識
25 ネイチャーマジック→自然の知識
26 ホーリーマジック→聖なる知識
27 ダークマジック→闇の知識

33 エンジニアリング→説明文がありません

また、アイテム売却の際に、倉庫から直接売却する、複数アイテムをまとめて売却できると楽です

武器類を買う時に、各キャラのメインとサブの装備品それぞれとのステータス比較ができるようにして欲しいです

### 4/5 — Audio issue

*2026-07-01*

Fun game looking forward to getting deeper but the game seems to have a weird audio bug with headphones it crackles every now and then and if played with backround noise from another app it breaks audio entirely

### 5/5 — Awesome Game

*2026-06-29*

Super fun, can be replayed. Lots of updates. Easy to play for a couple mins and stop of play for a while.
