Get ready for some crustacean chaos because the King of Crabs franchise is set to launch its latest installment, King of Crabs - Invasion, on both iOS and Android on May 30th. This time around, the developers at Robot Squid are shifting gears from the battle royale format to a real-time strategy (RTS) game. Imagine commanding legions of crabs, each with specialized roles, as you try to outmaneuver and overwhelm your opponents.

If you're familiar with our past coverage, you might remember our 2019 review of the original King of Crabs battle royale game. While it didn't quite hit the mark for our reviewer, Robot Squid hasn't given up on the quirky concept. King of Crabs - Invasion takes the crab-based combat to a linear battlefield reminiscent of classics like Age of War. Your strategic choices will determine whether you triumph or get crushed under the pincers of your foes.

From swarms of regular crabs to more exotic units like catapults and mace-wielding crustaceans, you'll have a diverse arsenal at your disposal. But be warned—different battlefields and obstacles will challenge your tactics, making victory a true test of skill.

King of Crabs - Invasion cleverly translates the original game's crustacean mayhem into the RTS genre. It's a fitting evolution for a concept as absurdly fun as crabs fighting to the death. Yet, our reviewer Cameron's critique of the initial game's humor not holding up over time does raise some concerns. Will the novelty of commanding an army of crabs wear off quickly? Only time will tell, and you can find out for yourself when the game launches on May 30th.
