Another Crab’s Treasure is a soulslike adventure set in a crumbling underwater world plagued by a mysterious curse. As Kril the hermit crab, you’ll need to wear the trash around you as shells to withstand attacks from enemies many times your size. Embark on an epic treasure hunt to buy back your repossessed shell, and discover the dark secrets behind the polluted ocean.
Another Crab's Treasure boasts the usual facets of a Soulslike whilst also implementing its own take on well-known mechanics. Nevertheless, significant drops in frame rate, numerous glitches, and occasionally awkward controls do hinder the experience, at least on Nintendo Switch. If you can look past these problems, or if updates arrive to patch them...
Another Crab's Treasure is a big surprise that I've had this year. My expectations were quite far from what I ended up playing, as I was expecting a Souls Like without further ado, but what I found was something very interesting.
Another's Crab Treassure is much more than a parody of soulslike games. It's dynamic, fun and surprisingly complete. One of the most interesting indies of the year, which comes with a fresh sense of humour and some very interesting mechanics.
Another Crab's Treasure is a game full of ideas, and one that deserves to put indie developer Aggro Crab well and truly on the map.
Although far from the highest quality Soulslike, Another Crab’s Treasure is an original, intensely likable one. Its sharp script is backed up with a fun gameplay conceit, wrapped up in a package with a whole lot of character. We did the whole review without a shell pun either, so that's also a positive point!
