If you're a fan of quirky mobile games, you might remember our review of the amusing battle royale, King of Crabs, back in 2019. Although it didn't quite hit the mark with our reviewer, developer Robot Squid is taking another swing at the franchise with their latest release, King of Crabs - Invasion, set to launch on iOS and Android on May 30th.
This time, Robot Squid is steering the series into the realm of Real-Time Strategy (RTS) games, reminiscent of classics like Age of War. In King of Crabs - Invasion, players will face off against opponents across a linear battlefield, strategizing the deployment of various units. From regular swarms of crabs to catapults and even mace-wielding crustaceans, the game offers a variety of specialized roles to overwhelm your enemies. However, with diverse battlefields and obstacles, victory is no easy feat.

King of Crabs - Invasion takes the original game's crustacean chaos and adapts it into a new genre. For a concept as playful as crabs battling to the death, transitioning to a simple yet engaging RTS feels like a fitting evolution. However, considering the critique that the initial humor of King of Crabs might not sustain long-term interest, there's a concern that the novelty of King of Crabs - Invasion could wear off quickly. The only way to truly gauge this is to dive in yourself when the game launches on May 30th.
