Back in 2019, King of Crabs captured players' hearts with its quirky battle royale concept featuring crustacean combat. Developer Robot Squid is now revamping the formula with something grander: King of Crabs - Invasion introduces strategic warfare to the crab battlefield.
From Chaotic Crab Royale to Tactical Crustacean Conflict
The sequel transforms the gameplay completely. Rather than joining 99 other players in aquatic free-for-all mayhem, Invasion adopts real-time strategy mechanics - effectively converting the original concept into a compact RTS experience.
While you still command crab armies like before, the approach differs fundamentally. Instead of scavenging weapons and consuming smaller creatures to grow, you'll strategically position units along linear battlefronts.
Players gain access to diverse units including standard crab infantry, siege catapults, and armored crustaceans wielding massive maces. Matches revolve around outmaneuvering opponents before they overrun your defenses, with dynamic maps introducing unpredictable environmental hazards.

King of Crabs - Invasion Launches on Android
The game has already crawled onto mobile stores across Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Vietnam, and Singapore. A global Android release follows on May 30th - marking a fresh evolution rather than direct sequel to the original.
The 2020 debut title King of Crabs launched Robot Squid, a British indie studio founded in 2018. Developed in collaboration with Spilt Milk Studios, the Windows/iOS/Android release earned comparisons to "Fortnite with claws" at its peak popularity.
Experience King of Crabs - Invasion via Google Play Store.
