King of Crabs - Invasion brings PvP crustacean action back to mobile

Get ready for a new twist on the beloved King of Crabs franchise! King of Crabs - Invasion is set to launch on iOS and Android on May 30th, bringing an exciting real-time strategy (RTS) experience to fans. If you fondly remember our 2019 review of the original battle royale game, you'll be thrilled to see how developer Robot Squid has evolved the series.

This time, instead of battling it out in a last-crab-standing scenario, you'll be commanding legions of crabs in a strategic showdown. Much like classics such as Age of War, King of Crabs - Invasion challenges you to outsmart your opponent on a linear battlefield. You'll have the power to deploy various units, from swarms of regular crabs to specialized warriors like catapults and mace-wielding crustaceans. Each battlefield comes with its own set of obstacles, making victory a test of both strategy and adaptability.

The transition from battle royale to RTS feels like a natural evolution for the King of Crabs series. The humorous concept of crabs engaging in combat lends itself well to the strategic depth of an RTS game. While our previous review noted that the initial humor of the original game might not hold up over time, King of Crabs - Invasion promises a fresh take on the series that could keep players engaged with its simple yet fun gameplay.

Mark your calendars for May 30th to dive into the strategic chaos of King of Crabs - Invasion.
