Crab Invasion: New RTS Twist Hits Mobile Gaming

• King of Crabs - Invasion launches on iOS and Android May 30th
• The King of Crabs series shifts to real-time strategy gameplay
• Dominate foes with specialized crab armies in dynamic battles

Longtime fans might remember our 2019 review of King of Crabs, a quirky battle royale that didn’t quite hit the mark. Now, developer Robot Squid is back with King of Crabs - Invasion, a fresh take on the crustacean chaos, set to launch soon.

Moving away from battle royale roots, Robot Squid dives into real-time strategy with King of Crabs - Invasion. Think Age of War vibes: you’ll face off against opponents on a linear battlefield, carefully deploying units to outsmart and outlast your rival.

Choose your crab army wisely—options range from swarms of standard crabs to catapults and mace-wielding crustaceans. With varied battlefields and tricky obstacles, victory demands sharp tactics and quick thinking.

Crustacean Chaos Evolved

King of Crabs - Invasion takes the wild, crab-fueled combat of the original and reshapes it into a strategic showdown. The absurd charm of battling crabs fits surprisingly well in this streamlined RTS setup, promising fast-paced fun.

That said, our original review noted the humor in King of Crabs didn’t hold up long-term. There’s a risk the novelty of Invasion could fade fast, too. Find out for yourself when it drops on May 30th!
