Longtime fans might remember our 2019 review of the quirky battle royale game King of Crabs. While it didn’t fully captivate our reviewer, developer Robot Squid is back with a fresh take in their upcoming title, Crab King Invasion.
Ditching the battle royale roots, Robot Squid pivots to the real-time strategy genre. Reminiscent of classics like Age of War, Crab King Invasion places you on a linear battlefield, challenging you to outmaneuver your rival.
Strategically deploy units, from swarms of basic crabs to catapults and mace-wielding crustaceans, to overpower your opponent before they crush you. Diverse battlefields and obstacles make victory a tough but thrilling challenge.
Crustacean Chaos
Crab King Invasion transforms the chaotic, crab-fueled action of the original into a strategic showdown. The absurd premise of battling crabs feels right at home in this lighthearted yet engaging RTS format.
Still, our reviewer’s critique of the original King of Crabs’ fleeting novelty raises questions about whether Crab King Invasion’s humor will hold up. The only way to know is to dive in when it launches on May 30th!
