"King of Crabs - Invasion: PvP Crustacean Action Returns to Mobile"

If you're a fan of the quirky and fun world of King of Crabs, get ready for an exciting new twist. King of Crabs - Invasion is set to launch on iOS and Android on May 30th, and it's taking the franchise in a bold new direction: real-time strategy (RTS).

Back in 2019, we reviewed the original King of Crabs, a humorous battle royale that didn't quite click with our reviewer. However, developer Robot Squid isn't letting that deter them. With King of Crabs - Invasion, they're shifting gears to an RTS format, reminiscent of classics like Age of War.

In this new game, you'll face off against opponents on a linear battlefield, strategizing to deploy the perfect mix of units. From swarms of regular crabs to specialized units like catapults and mace-wielding crustaceans, your goal is to overwhelm your enemy before they can do the same to you. With varying battlefields and obstacles, every match offers a fresh challenge.

While the concept of crabs battling it out is inherently amusing, there's a concern that the humor might wear thin over time, as noted by our reviewer Cameron about the original game. Still, the only way to truly gauge its staying power is to dive in yourself when it launches on May 30th.
