Another Crab’s Treasure riffs off the Soulslike genre, but strikes a great balance between humour and homage. This is a great game with a good message, and above all else, it’s just a lot of fun.
A playful Soulslike for everyone, that lets you give a crab a gun.
If you play Soulslikes for their dark and dreary worlds, engrossing lore, and brutal combat that can be overcome by player skill alone, then Another Crab’s Treasure might not be for you. But if you’re looking for a “first Soulslike” and don’t want to put in the time commitment needed to master games like Demon’s Souls, Dark Souls, or Elden Ring, Another Crab’s Treasure offers up a good time.

But Why Tho? | Mick Abrahamson | 7.5 / 10 | 04-24-2024 | Another Crab’s Treasure is a fantastic soulslike for those looking for an entry into soulslikes. | Read review |
Checkpoint Gaming | Charlie Kelly | 8.5 / 10 | 04-24-2024 | Another Crab’s Treasure is a Soulslike hit and another win for Aggro Crab. Proving the genre can be more than just darkness and grit, offering colour and whimsy all within a memorable nautical world. Though it might not always be the most original, that’s easily forgiven thanks to damn good action RPG combat, a healthy dose of accessibility and thoughtful environment design you’ll get lost in for hours. Ducking in and out of shells, toppling great big bosses and zipping around with a grappling hook is SO. MUCH. FUN. This journey to the deep is well worth the plunge. | Read review |

MonsterVine | Diego Escala | 4 / 5 stars | 04-24-2024 | Another Crab’s Treasure might be one of the most delightful games you’ll play this year, and is great fun for veterans or newcomers to the genre. | Read review |
PCMag | Unknown | 3.5 / 5 stars | 04-24-2024 | Another Crab’s Treasure may not convince soulslike skeptics, but it’s a lovingly executed underwater take on the challenging genre. | Read review |
Press Start | Kieron Verbrugge | 8 / 10 | 04-25-2024 | Another Crab’s Treasure is a scrappy, succinct and soggy soulslike that doesn’t just pay homage to FromSoft’s pioneering efforts but stands out in its own right. There’s no getting around the fact that it has serious issues of performance and polish that can really bring down the experience, but it’s a game so packed with charm, so inspired, so unexpectedly cooked and with so many flashes of brilliance that I can genuinely say it’s worth suffering through the pain points. I don’t think I’ve been quite so enamoured with a game like this in a long time. | Read review |
Prima Games | Matt Vatankhah | 9 / 10 | 04-24-2024 | Another Crab’s Treasure is a delightful mixture of all the right things; the precise tug-of-war combat you’d find in a game like Sekiro, the verticality and exploration of old-school 3D platformers, and the light-hearted goofiness of classics like Banjo-Kazooie. | Read review |
Push Square | Stephen Tailby | 7 / 10 | 04-24-2024 | Another Crab’s Treasure is a refreshingly different take on the soulslike action RPG. Its more lighthearted presentation, stronger emphasis on story, and sense of humour don’t take away from the genre’s core, however | Read review |

TechRaptor | Joe Allen | 8.5 / 10 | 04-24-2024 | Another Crab’s Treasure might be cartoony and fun, but it still has everything you’d want from a Soulslike: great bosses, huge and sprawling levels, and plenty of giant enemy crabs. | Read review |

XboxEra | Jesse Norris | 7 / 10 | 04-24-2024 | Another Crab’s Treasure is a balls-hard Soulslike that was one of the most frustrating experiences of my reviewing career until I gave in and used its game-saving accessibility options. Once the difficulty was better balanced the game’s humor and heart were able to shine through. | Read review |
