Another 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.
Features
- Challenging soulslike-inspired combat
- A grand undersea world to explore
- Over 50 shells to try on and fend off attackers
- A variety of powerful Umami Abilities to smite your enemies
- Way Too Many Crabs
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.
I hadn't been following this game super closely, and I had been curious about it but didn't know if I wanted to actually get the game or not until I watched someone playing it on a stream yesterday. After what I saw I definitely want to pick this up now and I'll probably grab it on PS5 after the weekend.
Also, even if you have no interest in getting this game I do at least recommend you check out the April Fools trailer that makes the game look more like every other Soulslike.

I saw a lot of this game being played, beginning to end, and I really would love to give it a go. It's one of those games that has such an attention to detail that I can super appreciate.

It looks okay. Probably not something I'll pick up any time soon and only when it's on sale for a decent discount.

Based on what I've seen, you can tell the developers actually had fun making this game and that it has actual heart to it. I feel like that's not common with a lot of games anymore.
