"Another Crab&s;s Treasure is a colorful and lively platformer that&s;s also a tough action RPG with Soulslike combat. They juxtapose each other perfectly, and I had a fun time discovering shells, collecting microplastics, and defeating grueling bosses."

"After diving into Another Crab&s;s Treasure, it&s;s hard to understand why hasn&s;t more been done to expand beyond the foundational souls-like element. There&s;s clearly room for thinking outside the box, and Aggro Crab mostly nails it with this unique take. …"
