Another Crab’s Treasure
Our Community
About the GameAnother Crab’s Treasure is a soulslike adventure set in a crumbling underwater world. As Kril the hermit crab, you’ll need to wear the trash around you as shells to withstand attacks from enemies many times your size. Embark on an epic treasure hunt to buy back your repossessed shell, and discover the dark secrets behind the polluted ocean.
TRASH OR TREASURE?
In this undersea society, trash is not only a way of life, but a valuable resource, used for everything from fashion to firearms. But with the presence of trash comes a mysterious infection known as the Gunk, which could spell doom for the entire ocean.
LEARN FROM NATURE
As Kril explores the ocean, he’ll gain a variety of Umami Techniques—powerful attacks learned from the denizens of the seas. Punch your enemies with the overwhelming might of a Mantis Shrimp, ensnare them with the horrifying Bobbit Worm, and much more.
UNEXPLORED DEPTHS
The ocean goes deeper than one can imagine. Fight your way through kelp forests, coral reefs, sand castle cities, and even the unfathomable darkness of the deep-sea trenches, all in the name of getting back your prized shell.
PLAY AT YOUR OWN PACE
Designed to be an approachable experience for newer soulslike players as well as provide a challenge for hardcore fans, Another Crab’s Treasure offers something for any level of skill or time commitment. Assist options are provided for those seeking a less frustrating experience, but gluttons for punishment are sure to find the default game a challenge.
- Challenging soulslike-inspired combat
- A grand undersea world to explore
- Over 50 shells to try on and fend off attackers

This game is phenomenal, and is the first action-adventure game I've been able to play in years without stressing myself out. For context, I'm disabled. My reaction time is significantly slower than these types of games expect you to have. Like I physically can't move my hands fast enough in any accurate manner.
So imagine how I felt when I heard that Aggro Crab was making this game. I know from playing Going Under that their accessibility options are second to none. I downloaded the demo, and. My god, the accessibility options turned a game I could usually never play into something I have to hold myself back from playing nonstop.
You can turn off losing microplastics (currency, needed for leveling). You can turn up your shell's durability in varying degrees. You can adjust how much damage you take. You can just. Cater the game to your needs. But the most important option to me by FAR is: You Can Slow Down The Game. That's it, that's the thing I've needed for YEARS to enjoy games like this. Just more time to dodge. More time to perceive what's happening and REACT IN TIME. It's amazing an overwhelming and more games should aim for this.
The characters are compelling and have such depth. The story has me utterly entranced. The combat? Oh baby, the combat is to die for. And there's so many ways to play! I've seen people go fast attacks only, or max out on big slow attacks and magic, or do like me and max out the Umami skills. You can be a glass canon or a steel wall. And it's always fun no matter what! Excited to replay this eventually but for now I'm taking my time. 100000/10 please god play this game. you will not regret it.

This is a Souls game for normal people. This is a game you can recommend to a friend who doesn't play many actions games to give them a taste for the genre. The combat is really well-paced, the RPG/progression mechanics are perfectly lightweight, and the challenge curve starts out rocky and grows exactly as it needs to. It also starts off cute and whimsical, but still manages to tell a serious story with a pretty profound message.
But crucially- and this is the highest praise I could ever levy at a video game- it's funny. Genuinely, wickedly, profoundly funny. Every NPC has a good joke. Every single piece of trash used for set dressing is an incredible reference. Magic in this world is called "Umami" and your magic stat is "MSG." Some of the jokes might hit better with certain audiences, but as someone who is a little jaded and a lot online, every single line had me in stitches.
I absolutely loved it and I think you will, too.

One of the best Souls games you can play. Like honestly. It's also nice to be in a world that isn't just filled with pain and misery but still has a good feeling challenge to it. We need more adorable souls games.

This game is one in a krillion, naught a shellfish cash crab. It has ambfishion. It's not too clamplicated, but also not too shrimple. It is shrimply clawsome, cuts out all the carp. I'm not squidding you when I say it is an outraygeously resharkable game. Shrimply mantastic, worth the moray I spent. It's unbeelievable, and I don't feel becrayed at all. On cod, it's crabout time you bought it But that's just my octopinion.

This game is MUCH darker than the advertisements and reviews are letting on and I LOVE it. This is a game that understands the souls genre on a narrative level and delivers a narrative worthy of its competition. I was incredibly impressed with this game's story and the more days that pass after playing it, the more I grow convinced that it's one of the best stories I've experienced playing a video game - or at the very least, it features one of the best protagonists I've ever played.
The combat is also solid, though it gets a bit stale towards the later half of the game due to the enemy variety not being all that incredible. I just found myself growing bored of the enemies and couldn't be bothered to fight most of them - often sprinting past them to get to the next boss or story segment. Still, I HIGHLY recommend this game for the story alone. The combat is FUN, just not incredible.

Loved it from start to finish. It's a creative story with a cast of characters I really enjoyed getting to know in a unique setting with tons of nooks and crannies to explore. Surprisingly dark tone for how colorful it is, but that's...*(waves generally at the state of the environment)*...yeah...
Couple little bugs that unfortunately got me stuck in weird terrain that required the respawn option, but nothing that set me back more than a minute or two. If you're a veteran Souls player, you'll probably have a fairly easy time of it. And if you're not, there's a wide variety of assistance options to tone down the challenge if it gets feeling too spicy for you.
Well done Aggro Crab (V) (°,,,,°) (V)
