The premise, in the publisher's words
Crawl is the local multiplayer dungeon crawler where your friends control the monsters! It’s bullet-hell beat-em-up meets old-school RPG, in an arcadey party-game for up to 4 players. One player is the hero, exploring a randomly generated dungeon full of traps and monsters - all controlled by the other players. If you slay the hero you take their place and it’s your turn to crawl! Then it's a race to gain enough XP and loot to reach the final battle, where it's all on one as the other players collectively control the hulking final boss!

What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for 1.66 GHz Dual Core Processor or equivalent, 2 GB RAM and NVIDIA since 2006 (GeForce 8), AMD since 2006 (Radeon HD 2000), Intel since 2012 (HD 4000 / IvyBridge). At 2GB of RAM, it will run on essentially any working PC — that is below what a budget laptop ships with today.
What it launched against
Crawl launched on 11 April 2017, within three weeks of Mass Effect: Andromeda, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and What Remains of Edith Finch. All of them reviewed better. It arrived 4 years into the PlayStation 4's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: Mass Effect: Andromeda, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, What Remains of Edith Finch.
