DuneCrawl on Steam has officially launched, delivering one of the most imaginative co-op adventures of the year. Released on January 5, 2026, this quirky action-adventure blends exploration, teamwork, and chaotic cannon fire — all while you pilot a massive walking crustacean across the desert.
Built for 1–4 players, DuneCrawl on Steam invites friends to become desert privateers, steering their colossal Dune Crawler through hand-drawn landscapes full of mystery, danger, and hidden treasure.
A Giant Crustacean Becomes Your Mobile Home — and Your Weapon
At the heart of DuneCrawl on Steam is the Dune Crawler itself: a towering, cannon-bearing creature loaded with treasure maps and potential upgrades. Players must work together to steer, fire, scavenge, and survive as they roam the dust seas.
Every mission feels like a shared voyage — balancing exploration with fast, tactical combat that rewards coordination.
Explore a Lush Hand-Drawn World Full of Secrets
Unlike most desert-themed games, DuneCrawl on Steam surprises players with vibrant, richly illustrated environments. Each region hides lore, side quests, and unexpected encounters:
- Meet quest-giving NPCs with stories tied to ancient Dune Crawler legends.
- Protect vulnerable towns from ruthless bandits.
- Hunt down hidden plunder and rare upgrades.
- Ride armored scarabs into battle when chaos erupts.
As the narrative unfolds, players uncover the truth behind the mysterious origins of the Dune Crawlers — and what they mean for the world’s future.
Built for Co-Op, But Playable Solo Too
Whether you’re playing online or on the couch, DuneCrawl on Steam thrives on teamwork. Each player can take on different responsibilities aboard the crawler, from steering and firing cannons to repairing damage and navigating treasure routes.
Prefer to go it alone? The game still supports solo players, letting you command your crustacean at your own pace — but the experience shines brightest when shared.
A New Adventure From Veteran Indie Creators
DuneCrawl on Steam comes from Alientrap Games, the Toronto-based indie studio behind cult favorites like Capsized, Apotheon, Cryptark, and Wytchwood. Known for imaginative worlds and striking art direction, the team once again delivers a world that feels handcrafted and full of personality.
Players can follow the latest updates, join the community, and dive deeper into development through the studio’s website, X/Twitter, and Discord channels.
Why DuneCrawl Deserves a Spot on Your Co-Op Playlist
With its cooperative gameplay, striking art style, and living world perched atop a colossal crustacean, DuneCrawl on Steam stands out in today’s crowded indie scene. It’s equal parts whimsical adventure, tactical shooter, and treasure-hunting road trip — all wrapped in an unforgettable visual identity.
If you love co-op experiences that encourage communication, discovery, and creativity, this is a journey worth embarking on.
