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

If you're a fan of quirky mobile games, you might remember our review of the amusing battle royale game, King of Crabs, from back in 2019. While it didn't quite capture our reviewer's heart, the developers at Robot Squid are taking another swing at the King of Crabs franchise with their latest offering, King of Crabs - Invasion. Set to launch on iOS and Android on May 30th, this new installment shifts the series from battle royale to the real-time strategy (RTS) genre, bringing a fresh twist to the beloved crab-themed gameplay.

In King of Crabs - Invasion, players will engage in strategic warfare across a linear battlefield, reminiscent of classics like Age of War. The game challenges you to strategically deploy an array of units, from swarms of ordinary crabs to specialized units like catapults and mace-wielding crustaceans. The key to victory lies in overwhelming your opponent before they can do the same to you, all while navigating varied battlefields and obstacles that add layers of complexity to each match.

The transition from battle royale to RTS feels like a natural evolution for the King of Crabs series, maintaining its humorous and chaotic essence while introducing a new layer of strategy. Although our reviewer Cameron had concerns about the original game's staying power, King of Crabs - Invasion promises to keep players engaged with its simple yet fun RTS mechanics. Whether the initial charm will last remains to be seen, but you can find out for yourself when the game hits the app stores on May 30th!
