- Another Crab's Treasure reviewed by Travis Northup on PC, also available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
Another Crab’s Treasure is one of my favorite soulslikes in quite some time. It borrows a lot from the usual genre playbook, but adds a colorful, irresistibly charming, and wholly unique veneer that makes it all feel brand spanking new. The story is well-written and filled with memorable moments and characters, the shell-swapping mechanic is unique and adorable as heck, and the unrelentingly cheerful mood is like finding land after years adrift in an angsty sea of Bloodborne imitators. Its combat isn’t the deepest ocean around and it has a bit of jank here and there, but Another Crab’s Treasure is so clever and wonderfully ridiculous that it’s absolutely worth your time. - Hry
So the hardest enemy is the camera? A true souls-like indeed
When you only need to dodge one last round of attacks so you can kill the boss
😂
'Had me grinning throughout my 20 hour tour of the ocean floor.' Just picturing this guy, smile spread wide like a madman alone in a darkened room for twenty hours.
Haha "haha crab haha"
honestly what a moron
welcome to gaming
Is this not what gaming is about
@@Grey-The-Skeleton Boo bad take. This is exactly what gaming is about.
Lies of Sea
Your comment should not be slept on.
Lies of C
Seakiro
Dark shoals
Lords of the Sea
The score is 8
The score is 7
@@Derbster1981 The score doesn't exist.
Because everyone was clamouring for the score for this game 🙄
@@Soldier7sixxkeep quiet child moe Lester
Ha clam
"anytime you 'see-an-enemy'" was very clever
Yess
Whoever wrote that joke deserves a raise
glad to see this comment
"It does flounder a bit in the second act"
Sekiro with a hermit crab? Sold.
It's a Soulslike for everyone. Being easy is a little expected
Is it actually easy? Or just easier than other soulslikes?
@@nothingtoseehere309Not actually easy but easier than most soulslike
@@nothingtoseehere309 2-3 hours in. Not "easy" easy, but definitely easier than other more serious soulslikes.
@@nuspy "serious" 😉
Soulslike shouldnt be expected to be easy
The game has lots of bugs? No they're crabs not bugs.
SHRIMPS IS BUGS
Everyone Keep in mind this was made by a very small company. :)
So? Pretty damn impressive for a small team.
@@inoodlesi4459that was literally his point.
@@inoodlesi4459He's referencing the bug and camera problems should get a pass because it was a small team.👍
@@inoodlesi4459 are you slow?
@mick2287 Made it sound like "Ignore the issues or whatever, made by a small team." Like an excuse. Its text. They don't have a voice or tone my guy.
Great review. Love the idea of a bright and colorful souls-like, wanna see more like it!
Mr. Krabs the video game
CAN YOU FEEL IT MR KRABS?
Mr krabs skin is also in the game.
When a souls crab joke turns into a full game
The fact that this scored higher than stellar Blade is Hilarious and sold me
We all know why these liberals scored Stellar Blade so low.
Because the characters are nothing more than eye candy and unable to be invested in, according to the review anyway. The character does seem boring though @@CasepbX
@@CasepbXjokerliberals.mp3
@@CasepbXoriginal is more fun than eye candy bub
@@CasepbXBecause it's bland and the character design is generic? Yeah.
Dark Souls, an incomprehensible game about fantasy nonsense: unremittingly grim and punishing
Another Crab's Treasure, a game about the real life tragedy of our oceans being destroyed by junk: a fun and lighthearted romp
Sounds like if the bugs got ironed out it would be a 9
Dark Shells: prepare to drown edition
Lol, great remark.
Actually this is completely natural evolution for Souls, every game in that series has so many crabs... Elden Ring too
This just makes me wish Goat Simulator 3 had a Soulslike mode.
Its Shoals-like gameplay has won me over.
This was absolutely one the best puns for this game
Shellden ring
Ever closer to a SpongeBob soulslike.
3:53 That shell looks a little sus…
Not funny didnt laugh 💀
Crabsouls, my favorite 😋🦀
So we got Lies of P, then Rise of P (Stellar Blade) and now Lies of Sea (taken name from other comment below
Story in Sponge bob world as dlc would be spectacular
please play going under, it’s created by the same company!!
Loved this game. It was actually refreshing to play an easy Soulslike for once. The only real downside to that was the endgame wasn’t a challenge at all, and the last several bosses were incredibly easy.
It’s on gamepass!
Just found that out watching the video on phone and it’s downloading. Sounds like a plan
“Any time you see an enemy”.
Don’t you mean sea anemone?
Objectively the best clever comment 😂
😐
Parry with a can already sold me
How do you exit the game? Pressing escape does not bring up options.
So this is better than stellar blade?
This game kinda reminds me of biomutant. The only game that's going to be remembered for years is stellar blade.
@@ShinKamaitachiBecause the game is supported by a cult of coomers?😂
@@ShinKamaitachiEveryone is gonna forget about Stellar Blade aka Nier + Sekiro from wish as soon as fromsoft comes along and smokes it with a DLC that will be longer, better, and less expensive. Put Black Myth in there and it’s just overkill.
Of course not for everyone, lol. These are different genres.
Is that so hard to imagine?
This might be the first souls like with an actual Soul... so creative, stylized, colorful, congrats!
The dialogue in this game is hilarious. Also "the sands between" as an easter egg to Elden Ring was cute
It seems like elder ring and SpongeBob: fight for bikini bottom got mixed up accidentally and they created this Masterpiece.
Seems awesome enough to buy and play! Most indie and all nature games belong in my collection
As someone who is playing Sekiro for the first time and has been stuck on the Owl for almost 8 hours I'm here for this before Shadow of the Erdtree.
10/10 Hands Down
That final boss battle was fire!
Does this game play like 3D Mario games like Banjo Kazooie, Conkers Bad Fur, A Hat in time? Or more like a Souls game?
The Combat feels like a Soulsgame and the jump and Run parts feel Like if you gave Yoshi a hookshoot
Really fun review! Fun and well written and acted!!
It reminds me of Little mermaid if Sebastian was a short swinging lunatic talking about under the sea🎶
its like "my first soulslike" one that's not going to kill me & frustrate me at every given opportunity.
Can you unlock a Foxy Grandpa hat?
Mortal shell 2 looks sick
Is that an Among Us shell at 3:09?!?!?
Yes! 😎
Yup! Not even the silliest shell available, heh.
An 8 for this game is absolutely wild lmao. Im playing it and enjoying it, but an 8? Not a chance.
Please elaborate
It is, for all intents and purposes, time for crab
Reminds me of Mortal Shell but as a light-hearted and even comedic at times, SpongeBob-esque version.
"lack of challenge" litterally the game is freaking hard asf
This almost looks like something double fine would make.
Time to speedrun this crab
people who write for IGN manage to be boring while trying to be clever and uninformative while trying to cover everything
there's a little something for everyone
Just Downloaded.....thanks Game Pass ! 🔥 🦀 🗡️
Is it already available??
@@Luristjem It is now.
So better than Stellar Blade?
First Under the boardwalk movie now a game about hermit crabs. What the hell
Looks like absolute crab
new fav videgeogame havent enjoyed gaming so much since this one
This is better rated than Stellar Blade?
wdym “lack of challenge” im fighting for my life bro :(
Just finished this game. It was amazing. Favorite game of the year so far. Beat DS1, 2, 3, and Elden Ring. This game is NOT that easy. Easier than some of the Dark Souls? Sure. At some points. Some of the bosses here took me 20+ tries. It's not just a breeze. It was just the right amount of challenging.
Mr Krabs origin story.
OMG, this looks amazing.
parrying isnt sweaty its a fun thing to learn for almost every game.
Elden Shell : the lies of Sea
Dave the diver vibe soul game
He didnt even get into the FIRE soundtrack🔥🔥🔥
Really enjoying this one.
One lobster soul coming up
This game was fantastic
2:03 That was kinda cute
Better than Stellar Blade and available on game pass day 1!
Ill play it
Looks fun
I’m deeply confused by all the reviews today. Sandland 6/10, Stella Blade 7/10 and this is 8/10?
Maybe because it subjective and having jiggle physics may not make a game better?
They dont compare the games so its always a fair review.
“In years”. Lords of the fallen, Lies of P and No rest for the wicked laugh at you.
Big win for those who love sweet and fun. Might buy a Nintendo just to play it; and that's a sign of "well done."
Loved this game but it's worth noting the switch version performance is really bad.
is this die-a-lot game? hopefully not cos im interested...
It has some tough moments, but it also has options to make it more forgiving. Including one that just gives you a handgun lol
Ok I'm getting this
8/10. Called it before clicking on the video...
Crab souls. Crab-like? Crabbourne
*Licence to Krill* 🦀
Stellar Crab
so, ur telling me this game is the same score as lies of p?
Was beginning to get tired of the nautical puns, but “see an enemy” (sea anemone) at 2:58 reeled me back in
No crabcore OST? 5/10
The callback to Gyoubu in Sekiro in the form of a lobster was truly unexpected 😅
Newcomers: aw. This game looks cute and awesome.
Dark Souls/Elden Ring/Bloodborne/Sekiro victims: Oh hell nah!!
So this is better than Stellar Blade?
Im sold...
Okay, that opening line was 🔥
Bit how is DEI treated in this game? How offensive is it?
Shoals-like
CRABSOULS 2: THE SANDS BETWEEN
The fact that the center of the map that links the main areas is *actually* called ‘The Sands Between’ made me laugh so hard
Sooo… Can buy it, thanks
Oh sweet they said its better than stellar blade. I'll get this instead
GAMPASS DAY 1!
Game pass ruined gaming
Will the New Zealand trick work?
Gonna have so much fun with this!
@@KingJohnMichaelWhy ?
@@KingJohnMichaelgamepass introduced many games to people who might ordinarily never try the game. And it's not like the devs/publisher of the game 'misses out' on purchases. Pretty sure Microsoft compensated them handsomely for putting it in the game pass library.
It's been a great boon especially for indie devs who might otherwise never get the resources or exposure to make and show off a game.
This got a higher score than Stellar Blade.
Game of the year?
