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

I started playing this a few years ago, and I am not sure why I quit before the end--I probably got busy with work. I came back, started over, and finished it in just under 8 hours. It was a good short game. The game play is relaxing and enjoyable., the art work is suitable, the characters are entertaining--I was cheering for them, and the story was nothing special and yet good enough that I wanted to complete it. The price is reasonable and there are various choices that both change the progress and the outcome of the game. Furthermore, there is an endless more, although I have not tried it yet. So, if you are interested in a casual, turn-based, fantasy RPG with moderate replayability at a good price, this is your game!

It's fun especially for the absurdly low price tag, but honestly the way the game is set up makes it too easy. This is especially true if you use the spider wave because the Spider Queen is stupid busted.

Pros: charming art style, goofy story line & interesting cast of characters, has a tutorial, soundtrack fits the theme, basic combat mechanics, after defeat you can retry the battle again, multiple endings, new game + can be unlocked, endless mode can be unlocked, rats are overpowered! Cons: locked at 30fps, only 3 save slots, no graphical settings, RNG, during combat units will overlap each other visually – there is no 3D screen rotation, when summoning minions - it will not let you decide which spot on the map to summon them, when opening chests there is no inventory to see the items you’ve retrieved Overall, a good indie game at an affordable price point, it takes about 5 hours to complete. Reverse Crawl has my recommendation.

I like Nerdook games, I find them charming. I didnt get the title of this game but its a very simple hexgrid tactics game, of note, I like the variety of game mechanics each controllable unit had, from undead to wolves, to trolls to dragons, everything had its unique way to attack and it was fun trying them all out. I wished It had more rooms to mix units from different groups, so you could make your own squad, instead, you can choose from a number of different "parties" to control against the enemy group you will face, i think this was all done in the name of balance. The game itself was short and easy, you can finish all 25 chapters in a few hours and get 100% achievements in a day or two, you'll need 2 and a half playthroughs minimum for that. The game was mostly done by one person around 10 years ago, so yeah, it was both nostalgic and entertaining for me, made me remember my times at Kongregate playing flash games. In general, art, music, story, all were decent but nothing special in my opinion, it a well made game, It did crash on me but only if I tabbed out, didnt find any other bugs but I did find some mechanics exploits to win, although you could win that way, it was tedious so I only used it once in my first final boss fight. Reverse Crawl gets 13 spiders that overwhelmed my enemies out of 20 zombies in my endless horde thanks to the princess necromancy cooldown and melee life regen and armor. :)
