What players say
Reverse Crawl absolutely exudes a sense of charm. Despite carrying the "villain protagonist" tag, the king and his daughter are very much the heroes of the story, and it's hard not to like them. Although I wouldn't call this anything close to a story-rich game, there were more character interactions and dialogue than I expected, and the character art is extremely fun and expressive. I definitely felt more emotion...

Always liked this dev, and his artstyle. Since the good old days ;) This games story is simple but charming. The gameplay is mostly simple still fun. If I wasn't tired and going to sleep right now I would have played more than 60 minutes :P
