Developed by Noisestorm · Published by Noisestorm
Crab Champions is a third-person roguelike shooter in which you play an armed crab battling waves of creatures across island arenas. You can play solo or team up with friends.
Move quickly through fights using jumps, slides, and other evasive movement while attacking with guns, melee weapons, and abilities. Clear enemy waves, face bosses, and choose loot that improves your offense, defense, or other run attributes.
Each run offers different combinations of gear and upgrades, letting you shape builds around your equipment and play style. Runs can continue into loops with tougher challenges; difficulty modifiers, weapon and ability unlocks, and cosmetic challenges offer further goals.
Players in the supplied reviews often enjoy the quick, fluid movement and shooting, and the way loot combinations let each run develop into a different build. Co-op, replayable runs, and the deliberately silly crab-and-weapons premise also come up repeatedly. Some reviewers criticize higher-difficulty tuning and changes to island layouts, while others mention busy late-run effects or lost progress.
Crab Champions is a fast paced roguelike shooter. Travel solo or with friends across exotic islands defeating hordes of enemies, collecting loot and becoming as powerful as possible creating game breaking builds!
