If you've been following our gaming reviews, you might remember our take on the quirky battle royale game, King of Crabs, back in 2019. Although it didn't quite hit the mark with our reviewer, the developers at Robot Squid haven't given up on the franchise. They're back with a fresh take on the series titled King of Crabs - Invasion, set to launch on both iOS and Android on May 30th.
This time, Robot Squid is steering away from the battle royale genre and diving into the world of Real-Time Strategy (RTS) games. Think of it as a crustacean-themed twist on classics like Age of War. In King of Crabs - Invasion, you'll face off against opponents across a linear battlefield, strategically deploying various units to outmaneuver and overwhelm your foes.
Your arsenal? Legions of crabs, each with specialized roles, from regular crab swarms to more exotic units like catapults and mace-wielding crustaceans. The game promises diverse battlefields and obstacles, making each match a unique challenge to conquer.

It's clear that King of Crabs - Invasion is taking the chaotic fun of the original and adapting it into an engaging RTS experience. The concept of crabs battling it out in strategic warfare adds a humorous twist to the genre, making it a potentially entertaining addition to your mobile gaming lineup.
However, there's a note of caution. Given the initial critique that the humor in the original King of Crabs didn't sustain long-term interest, there's a concern that the novelty of King of Crabs - Invasion might wear off quickly. But, the true test will come when it launches on May 30th. That's your chance to see if this new crabby adventure can hold your attention.
