King of Crabs: Epic Crab Warfare in Battle Royale Invasion!

When King of Crabs splashed onto the scene in 2019, its quirky yet captivating concept quickly captured the hearts of gamers worldwide. It wasn’t just another battle royale; it was a battle royale with crabs! Now, the creative minds at Robot Squid are diving back into the crustacean craze with an even grander spectacle: King of Crabs – Invasion.

From Epic Crab Battle Royale to Epic Crab Warfare

In this exciting new installment, Robot Squid has shifted the gameplay from the frenetic free-for-all of the original to a more structured real-time strategy (RTS) format. The essence of leading crabs into battle remains, but the approach has evolved. Instead of the mad dash for weapons and the frantic growth by devouring smaller creatures, players now strategize and deploy units across a linear battlefield.

You have a range of units at your disposal, from standard crab soldiers to catapults and formidable mace-wielding tanks with claws. Success in King of Crabs – Invasion hinges on your ability to outmaneuver and overpower your opponent, adapting to the unique challenges posed by different maps and unexpected obstacles.

Catch a glimpse of the action-packed gameplay right here.

King of Crabs – Invasion Is on Android

Currently, the game is available in select regions including Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Vietnam, and Singapore. The global launch for Android players is just around the corner, set for May 30th. While it's a new twist on the original, King of Crabs – Invasion serves as a thrilling spin-off that fans won't want to miss.

Reflecting on the original, King of Crabs was the debut title from Robot Squid, a British indie studio established in 2018. In collaboration with Spilt Milk Studios, they released the game in 2020 across platforms including Microsoft Windows, Android, and iOS. At its peak, it earned the playful nickname "Fortnite with claws."
