Another Crab's Treasure Review

Another Crab's Treasure reviewed by Travis Northup on PC, also available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.

Another Crab’s Treasure is one of my favorite soulslikes in quite some time. It borrows a lot from the usual genre playbook, but adds a colorful, irresistibly charming, and wholly unique veneer that makes it all feel brand spanking new. The story is well-written and filled with memorable moments and characters, the shell-swapping mechanic is unique and adorable as heck, and the unrelentingly cheerful mood is like finding land after years adrift in an angsty sea of Bloodborne imitators. Its combat isn’t the deepest ocean around and it has a bit of jank here and there, but Another Crab’s Treasure is so clever and wonderfully ridiculous that it’s absolutely worth your time.

So the hardest enemy is the camera? A true souls-like indeed

'Had me grinning throughout my 20 hour tour of the ocean floor.' Just picturing this guy, smile spread wide like a madman alone in a darkened room for twenty hours.

[JackBurrows-cg]

"anytime you 'see-an-enemy'" was very clever

[Grymyrk]

The game has lots of bugs? No they're crabs not bugs.

[AlbinoPhantom]

Everyone Keep in mind this was made by a very small company. :)

[JsYTA]

It's a Soulslike for everyone. Being easy is a little expected

[saintsalieri]

Dark Souls, an incomprehensible game about fantasy nonsense: unremittingly grim and punishing
Another Crab's Treasure, a game about the real life tragedy of our oceans being destroyed by junk: a fun and lighthearted romp

[Watchamocalit]

Great review. Love the idea of a bright and colorful souls-like, wanna see more like it!

When a souls crab joke turns into a full game

[thisnameistaken]

Sounds like if the bugs got ironed out it would be a 9

[ozperez]

The fact that this scored higher than stellar Blade is Hilarious and sold me

[Dahem_Ghamdi]

The dialogue in this game is hilarious. Also "the sands between" as an easter egg to Elden Ring was cute

[Georgebrown-xygg]

It seems like elden ring and SpongeBob: battle for bikini bottom got mixed up accidentally and they created this Masterpiece.

This just makes me wish Goat Simulator 3 had a Soulslike mode.

[White]

This might be the first souls like with an actual Soul... so creative, stylized, colorful, congrats!

[asacloutier]

Its Shoals-like gameplay has won me over.

[animaIpath]

please play going under, it’s created by the same company!!

[DylanZ]

Loved this game. It was actually refreshing to play an easy Soulslike for once. The only real downside to that was the endgame wasn’t a challenge at all, and the last several bosses were incredibly easy.

“Any time you see an enemy”.

Don’t you mean sea anemone?

[mohammedfalshehri]

Story in Sponge bob world as dlc would be spectacular
