The Best Games Like Dungeon Crawler Carl

From Lethal Company to Antichamber, these eight games capture the same survive-and-strategize energy that makes Dungeon Crawler Carl such a wild ride.

Understatement: There is a lot going on as Matt Dinniman’s Dungeon Crawler Carlbegins. Carl, a Coast Guard vet, is caught outside, in the dead of winter, in his underwear when every man-made structure on Earth collapses. He and the only survivor nearby, a talking cat named Princess Donut, are forced to descend into their rebuilt planet, which is now an 18-level dungeon for a corporate alien race’s reality show — Dungeon Crawler World.
