Crab
A new soulslike title, Another Crab’s Treasure, is on the way to put us all in the role of a comical crab now
With Soulslike games all the rage out there, it is time to add one to the growing list that looks to have some fun with the genre with the announcement for Another Crab’s Treasure. A new title that will give us all of that familiar gameplay but with an art style that is a bit more cartoonish and filled with some of the comedy too. That is how Aggro Crab is looking to take this title for the PC and Switch when it comes next year. That is a bit of a wait, but when you see how this crab will be moving under the sea, slaying enemies, and upgrading its shell along the way, it looks like it could be worth the wait. At least for those looking to have something that is not all doom and gloom out there.
You can get a look at what Another Crab’s Treasure has for us all at this point just below in the latest trailer we have. It shows off a bit of the new and challenging combat that we will have for this genre. There are also a few of the shells we will have to wear with over fifty of them coming to us all in the end. It is also interesting to see how the crab will use some of the magic in the mix too. That is something that felt like it was going to be a bit off when it comes to the animal here, but it somehow works well. Have a gander and see if it will get you into the genre for once or will be on the pile of other soulslike games you might have already.
