The King of Crabs franchise has received a somewhat mixed response from us. The first King of Crabs was a battle royale with a fun premise but limited depth. However, King of Crabs: Invasion might just steer the series in a more interesting direction—a promising pivot, you could say.
The core concept isn’t entirely new. King of Crabs: Invasion blends lane-based RTS and puzzle mechanics, challenging you to overpower opponents through smart troop deployment and sheer numbers. Success relies on spotting the right moment to unleash your strongest units and break enemy lines.
