About
Sketch Crawler is a super-creative deck-building roguelike RPG, in which the Doodlers rescue the King of Cartoons from the evil plots of warlocks and tricksters. In this world, drawing is a real magic.
The Magic of Drawing
With just one click, you can redraw any object in the game: creatures, spells, walls, furniture, and decorations. Your drawings will be saved and used for further generations of the Sketch Crawler world.
The Мagic of Сolor
In the world of Sketch Crawler, colors have their own mysterious power. By adding a color to a creature, you can add new abilities and powers to it. By adding a color to a magic spell you can greatly enhance it.
Endless Fun
The procedural generation of dungeons and enemies gives you endless gameplay.
Peacemaker
There is no need to kill to win here. You can let your enemy escape, the amount of loot and experience you get will not change.
Experimental Game
We are experimenting with letting players create whatever they want and make it matter in the game. We want to tempt players to draw.
A Place for a Scene
You will also be able to record voiceovers for all your characters and even for your enemies!
Features:
- Everything you draw appears in a procedurally generated world.
- Conquer dungeons with turn-based card combat.
- Build your ultimate deck from cards you find.
- Redraw found cards to give them new properties.
- Draw creatures and see them fighting for you.
What we try to achieve in Sketch Crawler?
Is it possible to mix drawing and gaming? Can comedic fantasy and user-generated content be mixed? Can there be a benefit to a computer game? Let's explore.
Sketch Crowler is a experimental game and we plan to experiment well with procedural generation, comedic cartoon fantasy and user-generated content. We think it can be fun.
Experimentation will keep coming. We're looking for a golden formula for a game that will come together into something friendly and holistic that will be a joy to play for years to come.
We don't know where it will take us. We believe that only by exploring the unmapped paths can we discover something new. Ideally, it's not demanding to hardware game, which will live, even without internet, just on the user's computer.
A little about the graphics of the game. The simplicity of the style of drawing in Sketch Crawler is our conscious choice. First, it is much more expressive and charismatic than realistic characters, secondly, it is much easier for players to add their own drawings in this world, they look more holistic, in a third, it is a meme graphics, and this supports the comedy of what is happening.
In our opinion, the phenomenon of beneficial games is an obvious fact. These games are games that develop the player and give him practical benefits in life. The game is not an escape from reality, but a way to discover abilities and take them into the real world. This is the kind of game we see in Sketch Crawler.
In Sketch Crawler the player practices his drawing skill. The game constantly tempts to draw. And the longer the player plays, the better he will draw. And it also develops his imagination.
Creativity will save the world, and Sketch Crawler will help with that!

I have no idea how this was in my library but so far i'm really enjoying this game. It's a ton of fun and a lot different from I usually play but its very quickly become one of my favorite games
Welp tbh this game literally lets you MAKE custom cards/characters n ♥♥♥♥. Not only that you can add CUSTOM AUDIO FILES, which means you literally can REMAKE and REPAINT the absolute f#%$ outta the game if you really felt like it. I enjoy art games and I haven't had this much fun drawing, almost reminds me of the cool art game "Different Strokes". Now I can make them goobers into playable characters WITH SOUNDS. Although I agree with a few comments from the reviews below. I really enjoy this game, I hope more artist can give this game a chance and crank out their own adventures and such. Hell of game I'd say

dead game, bug exist on certain game function (when i use cauldron, there is only transmute button with no card shown, no escape key/button/prompt and I got stuck every time when I use cauldron), discussion is no longer reponded after Feb 2025 but the creativity and idea of this game is good
The game is amazing, you can redraw everything! And it's fun. Honestly, I recommend

good game
I think the concept of this game is revolutionary; the ability to redraw literally anything is something I never would have thought of. When It comes to actual gameplay, on the other hand, I feel like it falls short of many potential avenues regarding turn-based combat and deckbuilding. The flow of battle is sluggish, even when you know what you are doing, and the way the cards work and feel is unintuitive. While I usually am all for rougelike games not holding your hand, I have to draw the line (pun not intended) when it comes to basic ui navigation and rudimentary item usage. This game leans heavily on personal creativity and artistic capabilities and feels more like a play-test rather then a full game. I believe that there is much more content that I have not seen that will impact gameplay significantly, but the only reason I even felt motivated to progress is to see what else I could draw (and I am not an illustrator). Exploring the map and fighting enemies felt like a drag, and I never felt rewarded after a hard fight (not to mention that I could just heal back to full whenever I wanted). I actually do recommend this game, not because it itself was enjoyable to play but as a way to challenge yourself to think creatively and try your best to draw using a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ mouse; the tedious ui navigation and gameplay loop is only there to test how much one is willing to take in order to express themselves through the distortion of the world around them and playing a game where you are surrounded by ugly drawings because you gave up after another half-hour spent redrawing the same four lines.
除了中文有点怪其他都还行
pretty funny cause you can draw whatever you want and the gameplay is fun literally everything can be edited and changed in look. 8/10 would recommend.
Sketch Crawler is quite a train wreck. It's (purportedly) from the creator "S.T.A.L.K.E.R." and that makes me full of doubts... was "S.T.A.L.K.E.R." a fluke? Or is there perhaps a bit of exaggeration going on here? I think the latter... because this is pretty awful. Let's try to explain what this is... it's sold as a game where you can "Edit anything!". This is not true. Think about the CCG deckbuilding fantasy combat card battler, Slay the Spire. What could make it better? If you answered, "MS-Paint!!!", then you're not being honest. But that's literally what this is... it's a CCG like Slay the Spire, but awful, and with a gimmick that you can paint enemies or yourself or the walls to look different. You have to pay money to edit the terrain, though. What does this MS-Paint garbage bolton to Slay the Spire accomplish? Nothing... it doesn't alter the monster stats, your stats, the quests you're doing, or anything else. Wow, this is worthless. So basically you've got a bad ripoff of Slay the Spire with worse graphics that you can edit yourself with the in-game interface, which adds nothing meaningful to the experience. Right. Costs a lot of money, though. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. The visuals in this game are a complete joke, it's seriously just a bunch of MS-Paint sprites/images that look like they were lazily scrawled out over the space of a couple of hours. Like, with the mouse, it doesn't look like they even used a Wacom tablet or anything. It's so bad even pixel "art" would look better than this. Pure MSPaint. It's unclear if this is due to lack of budget to arrange someone who can create graphical assets properly, or lack of talent, regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low, enough on its own to deter gamers. While there are options to change the resolution for the game, all this does is scale up the simplistic 2D art assets used to make the game, which makes little or no difference to the graphics quality. Without any other substantial graphics tweaks, it's not possible for gamers to improve the lacklustre 2D visuals. These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game. So, should you buy this game? Is this one of the best of the 130,000+ games on Steam? Sketch Crawler has the gamer gouging price of $10 USD, for which you could easily get any number of older AAA games. Given the defects and quality issues with the game, coupled with the unrealistic price, this is impossible to recommend. Worse, the developer has another $10 donation tacked on. Like, "Thanks for buying my game, now give me more money!". WTF. So, including the beggarware DLC, this is $20 USD. For comparison, the $20 asking price for this game could get you games like "Monster Hunter World", "Cities: Skylines" or "Stellaris". Quality, professionally made games like those are frequently on sale cheaper than this. [quote][b][url=https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/marketing/profile]Profile Features Limited![/url][/b] Valve have marked this game as "Profile Features Limited" at the time of this review. This is usually caused by poor sales figures and low community acceptance for the game (to date). Until this status changes, this game will not give you +1 to your Game Collector badge count, appear in profile achievements or any other Steam meta-accomplishments, nor can it be displayed in some profile showcases. If these factors are important to you, it may be worth holding off before buying this game.[/quote]
