"King of Crabs: PvP Action Returns to Mobile"

Get ready, gamers! The beloved King of Crabs franchise is set to make a splash on iOS and Android with its latest installment, King of Crabs - Invasion, launching on May 30th. This new game marks a significant shift from the original's battle royale roots to a fresh real-time strategy (RTS) experience. If you enjoyed the quirky charm of the original game we reviewed back in 2019, you'll be thrilled to see how Robot Squid has evolved the concept.

In King of Crabs - Invasion, you'll command legions of crabs across a linear battlefield, reminiscent of classics like Age of War. The strategy lies in choosing the right units to overwhelm your opponent. Whether it's unleashing swarms of regular crabs, deploying catapults, or even sending in mace-wielding crustaceans, every decision counts. With varying battlefields and obstacles, each match promises a unique challenge.

The transition from battle royale to RTS feels like a natural progression for the series, perfectly capturing the chaotic essence of crab warfare in a strategic format. However, while the humor and novelty of King of Crabs - Invasion are immediately appealing, there's a concern that the initial fun might not sustain long-term engagement, as was noted in our previous review of the franchise. Still, the only way to find out is by diving in when the game launches on May 30th!
