Basement Crawl is a maze action game developed and published by Bloober Team. The game was released for the PlayStation 4 on 25 February 2014 in North America and on 26 February in Europe.[1] It received extremely negative reviews from critics for its lack of content.
Basement Crawl is a maze-based action game with some strategic elements. Bloober Team's main inspirations were Spy vs. Spy and Bomberman, and gameplay revolves around setting up traps (self-detonated or activated by characters approaching it or stepping on it without noticing) to hurt other players. Despite being primarily multiplayer-focused, basic single player campaigns with bots to fill in for missing characters will be available too.[2]
Basement Crawl is a 2.5D game with dynamic cameras – to the game modes, characters and mechanics. "We felt that many games nowadays are dependent on character development or luck and randomness, so we designed Basement Crawl to exclude the luck factor and remove the dependence on leveling-up characters. We want to make Basement Crawl as skill-based as possible and focus on hardcore players instead of casual or ‘middlecore’ players."[2]
Basement Crawl supports both 4 player hot-seat and 8 player online play, as well as combinations of both. At the beginning, players start with a selection of 4 available characters, all with their own unique skills balanced carefully against each other. The first three characters are a midget clown, a crash-test dummy, and a girl with a bear.[2][3]
