❤ Crab Combat Mechanics

Players take control of a diverse cast of crustacean characters, each with distinct attributes like weight, agility, grip strength, and toughness. The objective is to defeat opponents by flipping them onto their backs and holding them down for a 3-count to achieve victory. Players can dual-wield a vast arsenal of over 70 unique weapons, ranging from swords and shields to projectile cannons and beam sabers. Each weapon type has specific attributes, with sharp-edged weapons dealing more direct damage and blunt objects providing greater knockback power. Additionally, players can equip up to 40 special passive and active abilities, such as auto-parrying, increased weapon durability, or illumination of nearby weapons, further customizing their crab's combat capabilities.

❤ Damage Mechanics and Knockback

As crabs sustain damage, their "Crab Gauge" fills up, increasing the knockback power they can exert on opponents. This risk-reward dynamic encourages players to carefully balance their aggression to maximize damage while avoiding being flipped themselves. Flipping an opponent and maintaining their vulnerable, upside-down state for 3 seconds is the key to securing a victory. The physics-based combat system requires players to skillfully maneuver their crabs, using environmental obstacles and weapon attributes to their advantage.

❤ Versatile Controls and Playstyles

The game offers a choice between simplified "arcade-style" controls or a more advanced dual-stick control scheme, catering to a wide range of skill levels. The deep and varied mechanics, combined with the diverse array of weapons, abilities, and crab types, allow for a multitude of viable playstyles, from aggressive "glass cannon" builds to defensive, counter-attacking strategies, further enhancing the game's replayability.

❤ Cooperative and Competitive Modes

In addition to the comprehensive single-player Career mode, the game offers both cooperative and competitive online multiplayer options. Players can team up with friends in online co-op matches or engage in intense one-on-one or free-for-all battles to determine the true King Crab. The online modes, combined with the ability to raise and train crabs in the Career mode, provide a wealth of content and replayability, ensuring that the physics-based crab combat can be enjoyed both casually and competitively.
