Crab Invasion: Strategic Crustacean Battles Hit Mobile

• Crab Invasion launches on iOS and Android May 30th
• The King of Crabs series shifts to real-time strategy gameplay
• Dominate foes with diverse crab armies in specialized roles

Longtime fans might remember our 2019 review of King of Crabs, a quirky battle royale title. Though it didn’t fully captivate our reviewer, developer Robot Squid is back with a fresh take in Crab Invasion, an upcoming release in the King of Crabs franchise.

Departing from its battle royale roots, Robot Squid has pivoted to the real-time strategy genre. Similar to classics like Age of War, Crab Invasion places you on a linear battlefield, challenging you to outmaneuver your opponent with tactical precision.

You’ll strategically deploy units, from swarms of standard crabs to catapults and mace-wielding crustaceans, aiming to crush your enemy before they overpower you. With varied battlefields and obstacles, victory demands careful planning and adaptability.

Crustacean Chaos

Crab Invasion transforms the chaotic, crab-fueled action of the original into a strategic showdown. The absurd premise of battling crabs translates surprisingly well into a lighthearted yet engaging RTS experience.

However, given past critiques that the King of Crabs concept lost its charm over time, there’s a risk the humor in Crab Invasion might fade quickly. The true test awaits when it launches on May 30th—dive in and see for yourself!
