Their are alot of crawlers I like, one of my recent favorites has to be Monsters Den. It is a free flash game on kongregate. The older versions are better than the newer with the animations.
One I was playing before that was funny was: Dungeons of Dredmor, it has steam mode support now so its really cool. There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root - Thoreau, Henry David

Some sources talk about more than 6 acts, a new one every year.

For the record, I don't think we can call Path of Exile a dungeon crawler. The largest 'dungeon' (outside of maps) has three levels so far, not including the sneaky layout of the Ancient Pyramid.
Is it the best ARPG I've ever played? I think so, yes. But Diablo 1 still owns the crown for best Dungeon Crawler in my eyes, mainly because the whole game was one big dungeon. ...Although Dungeon Crawler does sort of invite more games to the party than the standard 'ARPG' classification. For example, Eye of the Beholder and Ultima Underworld. They both did 'more' for me as Dungeon experiences than PoE, and what little I've played of Grimrock indicates that the true 'dungeon crawler' is anything but dead. And they said *I* was bad at PoE. At least I made it out of act 1 and know how to use the /dnd function. El oh fucking el. I am Path of Exile's biggest whale. Period. Last edited by Foreverhappychan#4626 on Oct 14, 2012, 5:39:45 PM

"The Dark Spire" on the DS.
Maybe not the best ever, but the best in awhile. http://www.atlus.com/darkspire/ I don't have sig :D -- gracy123

" Couldn't agree more. I remember being really scared in Ultima Underworld as I walked down a dark corridor, turned a corner and quite literally bumped into a headless. Those two games (Ultima Underworld 1 and 2) were fantastic dungeon crawlers. I sort of wish we could get an Ultima Underworld 3, but then again, sometimes it's best to leave the memories as just memories. While I love the new XCom, there are too many games that's been ruined by a reboot. Syndicate, anyone? But to get back on topic, I think the best ARPG I've played was Darkstone. The game was fantastic on it's own, but then you finished the game and was awarded by this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YO4NDMT_l4c Absolutely fantastic stuff that still almost brings a tear in my eye.

Yeah, Darkstone was brilliant. It handled quest pools even better than diablo 1.
