Get ready, crab enthusiasts! The much-anticipated sequel, King of Crabs - Invasion, is set to launch on iOS and Android on May 30th. This new installment in the King of Crabs franchise is taking a bold step into the world of Real-Time Strategy (RTS) games, offering a fresh twist on the beloved crustacean chaos.
If you're familiar with our past coverage, you might remember our review of the original King of Crabs battle royale game from 2019. While it didn't quite capture our reviewer's heart, developer Robot Squid has decided to pivot the series into the RTS genre with King of Crabs - Invasion. Inspired by games like Age of War, this new title challenges you to command your crab forces across a linear battlefield, strategically deploying units to outmaneuver and overwhelm your opponent.
From swarms of regular crabs to specialized units like catapults and mace-wielding crustaceans, your army's composition will be key to victory. With varying battlefields and obstacles, each match presents unique challenges that demand tactical prowess.
Crab Rave
It's clear that King of Crabs - Invasion is taking the playful mayhem of its predecessor and adapting it to the RTS format. For a concept as whimsical as crabs battling it out, this transition to a simple yet enjoyable RTS game feels like a natural evolution.
However, our previous reviewer, Cameron, expressed concerns about the original game's staying power due to its humor. There's a worry that the novelty of King of Crabs - Invasion might wear off quickly. But you can judge for yourself when the game launches on May 30th.
