"Crewsaders is a local multi-player fighting game that pits 2 to 6 players against each other in 2 teams. Each team controls a giant robot and must cooperate to keep it functioning while trying to destroy the opposing team's robot. With split-screen gameplay and options for both competitive and cooperative play, Crewsaders promises frantic and frenzied sessions with friends."

The monetization aspect has been criticized for misleading advertising, as users expected a 6v6 or 3v3 format but found the game to actually feature 4v4 with a bot on each team, and 2v2 with a CPU, respectively. This discrepancy has led to dissatisfaction regarding the game's promotional integrity.
“First thing, it's not 6v6, but 4v4 plus one bot on each team; the advertising wasn't honest about that.”
“False 3v3 advertising; it's actually 2v2 plus one CPU on each team.”

While Crewsaders offers some replayability through its cooperative versus mode, it is limited by having only one map and mode. In comparison, games like Overcooked and Lovers are noted for their higher replayability, suggesting that players may find more enjoyment in those alternatives.
“I'd recommend Overcooked or Lovers instead, both of which have higher replayability.”
“There is only one map/mode, but Crusaders still has some replayability since it's co-op versus.”
