What players say

Players praise Crypt Custodian as a charming and polished metroidvania with snappy movement, satisfying broom combat, and fair boss fights. The story is simple but endearing, and the 7–22 hour length feels just right. Some find the difficulty on the easier side even on hard mode, and a few note the world can feel empty in spots.
