Crab Invasion: iOS Launch, Android Pre-Register Now

• King of Crabs: Invasion has launched on iOS, with Android pre-registrations still open.
• It blends the beloved King of Crabs cast with a fresh puzzle RTS style.
• Win battles by swarming foes or deploying elite troops at critical moments.

The King of Crabs series has received a varied response from our team. The original King of Crabs presented an intriguing battle royale idea but lacked depth. Could King of Crabs: Invasion signal a better path for the franchise? Perhaps it succeeds by taking a bold new direction.

In terms of concept, this isn't entirely unfamiliar. King of Crabs: Invasion fits into the lane-based RTS puzzler genre, where your goal is to overpower rivals through smart unit tactics and sheer numbers. Success hinges on identifying weak spots and unleashing your strongest troops at just the right moment.

Of course, we’ve encountered similar games before. King of Crabs: Invasion’s possible edge lies in the series’ inherent absurdity—and that’s fully showcased here with an array of eccentric units, from basic crabs to robotic models.

At the moment, King of Crabs: Invasion is exclusively on iOS, while Android users can pre-register. Once launched, players can look forward to multiple battle modes, a variety of the aforementioned quirky crab units, and ongoing army upgrades to boost their strength.

This marks a notable shift for King of Crabs, which until now centered on battle royale gameplay. If it provides more strategic substance for crustacean enthusiasts, it could become a standout success.
