King of Crabs: Invasion is now live on iOS and still in pre-registration for Android
It blends the beloved King of Crabs characters with a fresh puzzle RTS twist.
Overpower your rivals or deploy powerful units at just the right moment to claim victory.
The King of Crabs franchise, such as it is, has drawn mixed responses from us. The original King of Crabs offered a novel battle royale concept but lacked depth. Could King of Crabs: Invasion chart a better course for the series? A smart pivot, perhaps.
In concept, this isn’t entirely original. King of Crabs: Invasion joins the ranks of lane-based RTS puzzlers where your goal is to flood the battlefield with tactical troop deployments and sheer numbers. Success hinges on timing—knowing exactly when and where to unleash your strongest units to exploit weaknesses and break through.
Of course, we’ve seen this formula before. But King of Crabs: Invasion’s edge lies in the franchise’s signature absurdity. That charm shines through in the wild array of units you can command—from standard crabs to full-on mecha variants.
Right now, King of Crabs: Invasion is available exclusively on iOS, with Android users still in pre-registration. Upon full release, it promises multiple battle modes, a roster of delightfully bizarre crab units, and the ability to progressively upgrade your army for even greater power.
It’s an unexpected direction for King of Crabs after its battle royale roots. But if this new take delivers more depth for crustacean enthusiasts, it could be a real hit.
