CRAWLER is a Co-op VR Horde Shooter where you and a friend are intergalactic exterminators, hired to clear an alien infestation on a crimson, rocky planet.
Pilot your six-legged Mech through randomly generated missions, as you complete distinct objectives for your employer and exterminate hordes of bugs. With your earnings, return to home base and purchase new upgrades for your mech.
With a global deadline that decreases whenever your in a mission, you must act quickly if your to meet the ever growing Company Quota. As it rises, expect new environments and threats to make themselves known. Die, then run it all over again.
Blast them to pieces, Crush them underfoot!
Command a six-legged Mech built for extermination as you face off against endless hordes of alien vermin that spit, swarm and explode in a satisfying squelch. Combat in CRAWLER is intense, overwhelming, and engrossingly satisfying.
Meet the quota! (or buy upgrades)
Following each mission, return to base. Here you can select new missions, submit your quota and purchase new upgrades for your mech, from quick-firing mini-guns, to head tracked defense weaponry.
...But most importantly, exterminate with friends!
CRAWLER is designed around chaotic co-op action with two players. One brawls as the driver, while the other strikes from the turret. Communication and teamwork are mandatory for optimal bug extermination.
