Crab King: PvP Battle Relaunches on Mobile

• King of Crabs - Invasion launches on iOS and Android on May 30th
• The franchise takes an exciting RTS approach this time
• Dominate opponents with specialized crab battalions

Longtime readers might remember our 2019 review of the quirky battle royale King of Crabs. While it didn't resonate strongly with our reviewer, the developers are reinventing the franchise with King of Crabs - Invasion.

Robot Squid is pivoting from battle royale to RTS territory this time. Much like Age of War, Invasion challenges players across linear battlefields.

Strategic unit deployment is key - from crab swarms to catapults and armored crustaceans. With varying battlefields and obstacles, victory requires careful planning.

Invasion successfully translates the original's crustacean chaos into RTS format. The absurd premise of battling crabs lends itself surprisingly well to this strategic adaptation.

While the original concept faced criticism for lacking depth, the worry here is whether Invasion's humor will sustain interest. Only one way to know - try it yourself when it launches May 30th!
