VGChartz's Evan Norris: "This review isn't about the game in a vacuum; it's about the game on Switch. Judged only on the hybrid version, Aggro Crab's underwater adventure is a choppy, unsightly mess that veers briefly into unplayable territory in the Unfathom, potentially due to memory leaks. All the positive things about the game persist, but they're overshadowed and diminished by numerous technical faults. If you're a Souls-like addict, Another Crab's Treasure is worth checking out — as long as it's on a platform other than Switch."
Soulslikes are punishingly difficult but amongst the most compelling games. Power Up Gaming goes through the top ten Soulslikes you're likely not playing.
Demon's Souls isn't Soulslike. It's the original Souls game. WTF? And Elden Ring?
Another Crab's Treasure simply is not.
All the journos claiming things are "Soulslike" simply don't know what that word means.
The term “Soulslike” has become ridiculously diluted. I have seen it used for games just because they are difficult.
Nioh 1+2 imo are the best souls clone. Love the melee combat and ki system, really hoping team ninja doesn't abandon the IP and continue with a new title, hell just give us your take on the western fantasy setting for a new nioh game.
Matt Owen from Super Gamesite 64 says..."The Souls-like genre has needed something a bit more lighthearted for a long time. Is Another Crab's Treasure the silly quest we've been waiting for?"
“Another month full of superb indie game releases has just passed us by so as always, let's celebrate the 12 very best ones.” - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums.
That’s a shame cuz I’m really enjoying it on PS5, and doesn’t seem like the type of game that should struggle on Switch.
