King of Crabs - Invasion: PvP Crustacean Action Returns to Mobile

If you're a longtime reader, you might remember our review of the quirky battle royale game, King of Crabs, back in 2019. While it didn't quite resonate with our reviewer, the developer, Robot Squid, is back with a fresh take on the franchise. The upcoming release, King of Crabs - Invasion, is set to launch on iOS and Android on May 30th, and it's taking the series in an exciting new direction.

King of Crabs - Invasion swaps the battle royale formula for a real-time strategy (RTS) twist, similar to games like Age of War. Players will face off against opponents across a linear battlefield, strategizing to deploy various units and overwhelm their foes. From swarms of regular crabs to catapults and mace-wielding crustaceans, the game offers a diverse range of units to choose from. However, navigating different battlefields and obstacles will be key to securing victory.

Crab RaveIt's clear that King of Crabs - Invasion aims to capture the chaotic charm of the original game while introducing it to the RTS genre. The concept of crabs battling it out in a strategic setting seems like a fun and natural evolution for the series.

However, considering the initial criticism that the humor in King of Crabs didn't hold up over time, there's a concern that the novelty of King of Crabs - Invasion might wear off quickly. But the only way to find out is to dive in yourself when the game launches on May 30th.
