If you've been following our coverage, you might remember our 2019 review of the quirky battle royale game, King of Crabs. Although it didn't quite hit the mark with our reviewer, developer Robot Squid is taking another shot at the franchise with their latest offering, King of Crabs - Invasion, set to launch on iOS and Android on May 30th.
This time, Robot Squid is steering away from the battle royale genre and diving into the world of real-time strategy (RTS) games. King of Crabs - Invasion introduces a fresh twist to the franchise, reminiscent of classics like Age of War. Players will engage in strategic battles on a linear battlefield, deploying various units to outmaneuver and overwhelm their opponents.
From swarms of regular crabs to more specialized units like catapults and mace-wielding crustaceans, the game offers a diverse array of forces at your disposal. The challenge lies in navigating different battlefields and overcoming obstacles to secure victory, making strategic unit selection and deployment crucial.

King of Crabs - Invasion builds on the crustacean-themed chaos of its predecessor, translating it into a fun and engaging RTS experience. The transition to this new genre feels like a natural evolution for a concept centered around crabs battling it out.
However, given the initial concerns about the humor and concept longevity in the original King of Crabs, there's a question of whether the novelty of King of Crabs - Invasion will hold up over time. The only way to find out is to dive in when it launches on May 30th!
