Claw your way across exotic islands combining fluid movement with fast paced combat to become a Crab Champion in this third person shooter with roguelike elements.
Players can dash, flip, and traverse the environment with exceptional agility, thanks to the game's smooth movement mechanics. The combat system is equally satisfying, with each of the 14+ unique weapons offering distinct handling characteristics and firing patterns. Whether engaging enemies at close or long range, the gunplay consistently delivers a thrilling and responsive experience.
Before each run, players select a weapon, a melee weapon, and a throwable ability, shaping their playstyle and build for that session. As they progress through the procedurally generated levels, players encounter chests that grant randomized upgrades, such as weapon modifications, grenade enhancements, and character perks. This loot system encourages experimentation and rewards adaptability, as players must optimize their loadout to overcome increasingly difficult challenges.
The game's roguelike design ensures that no two runs are exactly the same, with randomized levels, enemy placements, and available loot. This, combined with the diverse range of weapon and perk combinations, gives the game an enormous amount of replayability. Players can tackle various objectives, such as surviving waves of enemies or defeating challenging boss encounters, and then attempt to improve their performance on subsequent runs.
Up to 4 players can team up and tackle the game's challenges cooperatively. The chaotic nature of the gameplay is amplified when playing with friends, as players must coordinate their builds and strategies to overcome the increasingly difficult obstacles. The ability to save and continue a shared run also adds to the game's accessibility and ensures that cooperative sessions can be seamlessly picked up at a later time.
