"King of Crabs: Invasion Launches on iOS, Android Pre-Registration Ongoing"

Author:Kristen Update:Jul 15,2025

*King of Crabs: Invasion* has officially launched on iOS and brings a fresh twist to the franchise by blending familiar characters with an all-new puzzle-based RTS gameplay format. While the original *King of Crabs* offered an intriguing battle royale concept, it lacked depth and strategic complexity. This new installment appears to take a bold sideways step, aiming to deliver a more engaging and tactical experience.

At its core, *King of Crabs: Invasion* follows the popular lane-filling RTS puzzler format where players must strategically deploy troops to either overpower opponents or strike at critical moments with high-impact units. While this genre isn't entirely new, the game benefits from the series' signature absurdity—offering a wide array of quirky crab units, from standard crustaceans to futuristic mecha-crabs, each adding personality and flair to the battlefield.

Crabby Tactics and Army Building

When the game fully launches on Android (currently in pre-registration), players can expect multiple battle modes, a diverse roster of eccentric crab units, and progression systems that allow for army upgrades over time. These features aim to enhance long-term engagement and provide a deeper sense of strategy compared to its predecessor.

While the shift from battle royale to RTS may seem unexpected, it opens up new possibilities for the franchise. If *King of Crabs: Invasion* successfully balances accessibility with meaningful tactics, it could win over both casual fans and strategy enthusiasts alike.
