Another Crab's Treasure Steam Charts & Stats

great game for getting into the souls genre, would highly reccomend

It's really a shame that I didn't enjoy this game because there is a really good base here. This is felt during the Boss fights which are a good challenge and really test your skills. The problem lies with everything in between. The open-ish world is often times too cluttered to navigate and I oftentimes opened up the map every few seconds to be able to know where i was going. There's way to many places that you can get softlocked in, with no other solution than pressing the "die instantly" button and losing your progress. The platforming is passable and searching for the crystals was actually fun, but my main problem where the enemies. On their own they're pretty good, even if some are a bit annoying because of mechanics like electricity, toxic bog and really just any ranges enemy, but most of the time its ok. But more often than not they apear in groups. Fighting two at the same time is already slow because you have to be blocking 80% of the time and wait until both of them are wide open to hit one, but as soon as its 3 or more its just reaaaaaly bad. In some cases they even put smaller enemies close to bigger ones, making it so that if you try to kill one, all of them agro at the same time. If you try to kill the big one first, the smaller ones will chip away a bit of your health, but also stun you for a bit, leaving you wide open. If you try to kill the small ones first it' really difficult to see what the big enemy is doing and are unable to dodge its attacks. It gets worse the further along you get in the game, because they use more and more blue (attacks that destroy your shell) and red (attacks that can't be blocked) attacks, forcing you to use your dodge, wich leads to you spamming the dodge button without really knowing where to go and getting hit because of it's end lag. I know this is kind of a skill issue, but even then it's just not fun having to repeat this over and over again, waiting minutes to try again because if you don't recover your microplastics from where you died last time first, you'll lose a huge chunk of them. You have to try sneaking past the enemies that just killed you or quickly run to it before you die again.

Really fun take on a Soulslike with some Metroidvania vibes. The shell system is unique—each one gives you different powers and boosts. The story’s funny but also kind of deep, with a clever message about how we’re trashing the planet. Surprisingly thoughtful for a game about a crab in a soda can.

AggroCrab gained my undivided love and attention after Going Under. Granted it's taken me a while to finally play this game, but man am I glad I did. I played the demo for 15 minutes when that first came out and stopped cause I knew I was going to buy the game, cause Going Under was fantastic and in that 15 minutes I could already tell it was a quality soulslike. Going into the 3rd act (pretty sure at least) the game is a great followup to Going Under, the same, if not better quality that AggroCrab has made before. My only real gripe is that the level design got confusing towards the end, it wasn't completely intuitive. I just think about my one friend who is completely blind when it comes to directions in games, and they'd have a hard time with this game I feel like. All I was looking for was a journal or something that told me what I needed to be doing. Also giving Kril a gun is hilarious. I got sick of one of the bosses, I got them down to an inch of hp and I didn't wanna fight them again as I did for a while, so I just pulled out the gun, and they died. Play this game please.

Excellent concept, engaging story, beautiful artwork, smooth gameplay. With so much to recommend this game, I still cannot recommend it due to it's difficulty. Even on "story mode", the first boss was too much for me. I had to enable the gun cheat to advance to the second area. As a 40 year old gamer, I thought I was pretty well seasoned in gaming mechanics, but this challenge is leaps and bounds above my skill level. Challenges this difficult are not enjoyable.

Great little Souls-like with difficulty modifiers for whatever level of difficulty you want. Hate having to collect your souls back from your corpse when you die toggle that off, hate taking damage when you fall in a pit toggle it off. Cant beat a certain boss spawn a gun and one shot it to finish the story.

As much as I tried to like this game - at some point I gave up. I finished half of it but that was about as far as I could get. The premise is nice and all that, but for me the game was simply not fun. - Almost all of the encounters are multiple enemies ganking you from all sides. That's just not fun. I came to this game fresh after 2.5 playthroughs of DS2, and compared to this game DS2 is the fairest challenge of them all, really. - Many enemies use ranged attacks while you have little to no ability to do so. I don't understand how it's supposed to be fun trying to outrun two poison fish while platforming over the poison lake - and with enemies also going after you faster than you can even move. - Leveling up feels non-existent. I poured a few dozens of levels into my character, halfway through the game, and starting enemies began to die from 3 hits rather than 4. Amazing. Yes, I could use assists and make the game more forgiving, but what would be the point of that? As a platformer, this game does not offer anything out of the ordinary, so without the fights there is nothing to see, and it's a shame that fights are gank after gank, with ranged enemies thrown on top of that.

A beautiful game with great characters and an emotional journey. Very creative in every way possible, world building, mechanics, and shells and its abilities. Feels hard like any souls game should feel. Very great concept, would love to have a sequel!

First Souls-like that hooked me since Dark Souls 3. The story and art style are kid-friendly, but the game on default settings was surprisingly challenging to me. That is until the reverse difficulty curve kicks in. There's also a lot of accessibility features meaning literally anyone should be able to play this game and have fun. The mechanics are tight, there's a lot of fun secrets items, a few optional bosses, and a story that's basically Wall-E meets The Little Mermaid. The last level had some bullshit platforming and there aren't really "builds" like in most RPGs (unless a binary choice between melee or magic counts), but even with those two criticisms I can heartily recommend this game to basically anyone who's interested.
