King of Crabs: PvP Crustacean Action Returns to Mobile

If you've been following our reviews, you might remember our take on the quirky battle royale game, King of Crabs, back in 2019. Although it didn't quite resonate with our reviewer, the developers at Robot Squid have decided to give the King of Crabs franchise a fresh spin with their latest release, King of Crabs - Invasion, set to launch on iOS and Android on May 30th.

This time, King of Crabs - Invasion is diving into the RTS (Real-Time Strategy) genre, taking a cue from games like Age of War. Imagine commanding legions of crabs across a linear battlefield, where strategic choices are key to overwhelming your opponent. From swarms of regular crabs to specialized units like catapults and mace-wielding crustaceans, the variety of units at your disposal adds a fun twist to the strategy gameplay.

Each battlefield comes with its own set of challenges and obstacles, making victory a strategic puzzle to solve. The concept of turning the chaotic, crab-filled mayhem of the original into a strategic RTS game is both innovative and amusing, fitting perfectly with the lighthearted nature of the series.

Crab RaveWhile the humor and novelty of King of Crabs - Invasion are undeniable, there's a concern that the initial charm might not sustain long-term engagement, as noted in our previous review. However, the only way to truly gauge its staying power is to dive in and experience it firsthand when it launches on May 30th.
