• King of Crabs - Invasion launches on iOS and Android devices on May 30th
• The franchise takes an exciting turn into real-time strategy territory
• Dominate battles with specialized crab armies featuring unique combat roles

Longtime readers might remember our 2019 review of King of Crabs, a quirky battle royale that didn't quite win over our reviewer. Now developers Robot Squid are revisiting the crustacean combat concept with King of Crabs - Invasion, taking the series in a bold new direction.

Instead of another battle royale entry, Robot Squid has crafted a tactical RTS experience reminiscent of classics like Age of War. The game challenges players to strategize across linear battlefields, carefully deploying specialized crab units to crush their opponents.

Victory requires smart unit selection - from standard crab swarms to artillery catapults and armored mace-wielders. With diverse battlefields featuring environmental hazards, conquering your enemies presents a delicious strategic challenge.

King of Crabs - Invasion smartly adapts the original's chaotic crustacean combat into fresh RTS mechanics. For such an inherently absurd premise - warring crabs locked in mortal combat - this strategic twist feels like the perfect evolution.

That said, given our initial concerns about King of Crabs' staying power, I wonder whether Invasion's humorous premise will maintain its charm over time. Ultimately, you'll be able to judge for yourself when the game washes ashore on May 30th!
