Get ready for a new twist on the beloved King of Crabs series as Robot Squid launches King of Crabs - Invasion on iOS and Android on May 30th. This time around, the franchise is diving into the real-time strategy (RTS) genre, promising a fresh and engaging gameplay experience.
If you've followed our coverage since 2019, you might remember our review of the original King of Crabs battle royale game. While it didn't quite resonate with our reviewer, Robot Squid is taking another swing at the series with King of Crabs - Invasion. Instead of sticking to the battle royale format, they've decided to embrace the strategic depth of RTS gameplay, akin to classics like Age of War.
In King of Crabs - Invasion, you'll face off against opponents on a linear battlefield. The key to victory lies in your ability to strategically deploy a variety of units, from swarms of regular crabs to specialized units like catapults and mace-wielding crustaceans. Each battlefield comes with its own set of obstacles and challenges, making every match a unique test of your tactical skills.
King of Crabs - Invasion takes the quirky, crustacean-themed chaos of the original game and transforms it into a fun and accessible RTS. While the humor and novelty might wear off over time, as our reviewer Cameron noted with the first game, the potential for strategic depth in this new iteration could keep players engaged. The only way to truly find out is to dive in yourself when the game launches on May 30th.
