• Defeat your rivals by overpowering them with numbers or deploying strong units at crucial moments

The King of Crabs series has received mixed reviews from us in the past. The initial King of Crabs was a battle royale with a unique idea but lacking depth. Perhaps King of Crabs: Invasion will steer the franchise in a better direction—a successful shift in approach.

In terms of concept, King of Crabs: Invasion is not entirely unfamiliar. It's a lane-based RTS puzzle game where you outsmart opponents using smart troop strategies and sheer numbers. Knowing exactly when and where to send your top units to exploit weaknesses and break enemy lines is the key to victory.

We've certainly seen similar gameplay before, but King of Crabs: Invasion stands out by embracing the absurd charm of the KoC universe. This is clear from the wide range of wild units you can choose, including everything from standard crabs to mechanical versions.

At the moment, King of Crabs: Invasion is only out on iOS, with Android pre-registration still open. Upon release, players can look forward to multiple battle modes, various odd crab units as mentioned, and the ability to upgrade their army over time for greater strength.

This marks a new direction for King of Crabs, which previously centered on battle royale gameplay. If it provides more strategic depth for crab enthusiasts, it could become a hit.
