    I honestly believe that this is a good game. i own it on PC and Xbox, and i hope it comes out on the switch. I only found one glitch in the entire game (i fell through the floor on level 7) so that is why i didn't give it a 10/10. Rendercode, if you see this keep up the good work and please bring crypt of the serpent king to switch.

    This game is one of the best games I have ever had the joy of playing. It feels like an old computer game in the best way, with really simple and easy to use mechanics. This game knew what it was about, and it delivered. My sisters and I are enraptured by the gaming experience this game brought us over the course of a night. 10/10, will play again.

    Bonjour, je suis un français lambda. Ma femme m'a quitté, j'étais dévasté alors j'ai sû trouvé du réconfort avec ce jeu qu'est The Crypt of the Serpent King, majestuatisation. Il mérite cette note. Bon jeu.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Horrível, o gráfico e a jogabilidade são terríveis, muito repetitivo, as fases são preguiçosas e e parecem que são sempre as mesmas, além de que os inimigos são terríveis e dão apenas um golpe… Expand

    A fun and cheap way to kill an evening. Maybe could have used a bit of narrative to give us some context, but the enjoyable and easy to learn core gameplay loop saves the game. Its biggest weakness is audio design. Enemy's don't have any walking sound effects, so you only learn one is behind you when they bite you the backside. Also I suggest turning off the games music and playing theA fun and cheap way to kill an evening.

    In a few words, Crypt of the Serpent King is a game designed for old school players. It doesn't seem to be able to attract new players at all. The game has great variety of enemies and levels but is far from liking a casual audience. It has a mediocre quality and of short duration. Anyway, if you usually enjoy this kind of games it is a good choice with a good price.

    It’s clear where its inspiration came from and if you are a fan of early 90’s hack and slash dungeon crawlers, then you will likely see some enjoyment from this. It is very basic and should last no longer than a few nights to complete, but with a price as low as this it is difficult to expect anymore.

    At its heart, Crypt of the Serpent King is a very simple and basic dungeon crawler. It may even make for a decent ‘my first dungeon crawler’ game for someone new to the genre or who is new to gaming as a whole. It is by no means going to excite you, but given that it’s only priced at $3, its' issues can be somewhat forgiven. Regardless of its score, you’ll get $3 worth of entertainment out of it, just don’t expect much more value than what is offered so you won't have any regrets when finished.
