Basement Crawl is described as a 'maze-based' action game, inspired by video game classics like Bomberman and Spy vs. Spy. Players are placed in various 2.5 dimensional maps and must set traps to catch, hurt, and eliminate other players.
The emphasis will be on multiplayer combat, but the game will also include a single player campaign as well as AI bots.
Character Classes
Thus far four (distinctly creepy) character classes have been confirmed to appear in the game. Each class has its own individual strengths and weaknesses and an entirely distinct skill set.
The developers at Bloober are keen to emphasis that these classes will be carefully balanced; the intention being to create a skill-based game, rather than one based on character progression and levelling up. There will be no luck in the gameplay.
Multiplayer
Multiplayer has been confirmed for the game. Players can opt to slug it out either in four player local multiplayer or eight player online multiplayer.
