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, from back in 2019. While it didn't quite resonate with our reviewer, the developers at Robot Squid have taken another swing at the King of Crabs series with their latest venture, King of Crabs - Invasion, set to launch on iOS and Android on May 30th.

This time around, Robot Squid has shifted gears from the battle royale format to dive into the realm of real-time strategy (RTS) gaming. Drawing inspiration from games like Age of War, King of Crabs - Invasion places you in a linear battlefield where strategic unit deployment is key. You'll command an array of units, from standard crab swarms to specialized units like catapults and mace-wielding crabs, each designed for specific roles to overwhelm your opponent.

The game challenges you to navigate through diverse battlefields filled with obstacles, making victory a strategic puzzle to solve. It's a clever evolution of the original's crustacean chaos into a new genre, maintaining the light-hearted spirit of crabs clashing in combat.

However, given the initial critique that the humor in the original King of Crabs might not sustain long-term interest, there's a concern that the novelty of King of Crabs - Invasion could wear off quickly. Yet, the only way to truly gauge this is by diving in when it hits the app stores on May 30th.
