Fight Crab Reviews

Fight Crab shares a lot of similarities with the glorious gladiatorial battles of Ancient Rome, which were what made primary school history lessons actually fun. Though, like the sporting spectacle, it might not be everyone's cup of tea.

Every now and then, a truly original game garners gamers' attention and Fight Crab is one fighter that you surely don't want to miss.

If you’re willing to set your brain aside and just get down with some crusty bumping, you can count on having a good time. There’s a lot to be said about the spectacle of sea bugs throwing down with medieval weaponry. It manages to keep things smelling fresh by putting you through some absolutely bizarre situations, and you’ll never forget the first time a lobster comes at you with a revolver. On the other hand, this kind of stupid fun is always fleeting. You’re probably not going to spend a lot of time mastering the art of the death pinch, and once the novelty wears off, you’ll likely molt your old shell and move on.

Fight Crab is a wacky, fun game. While it doesn't have much depth, the sheer silliness of it will keep you entertained for an afternoon. It does support multiplayer, and I found it to be a lot more fun when teamed up with my son. With easy to learn controls, and fast paced battle, you can't help but love Fight Crab.

Fight Crab is weird, wild, and fun as hell. It's a game purely focused on delivering charming and silly moments, and that chaotic, no-rules atmosphere leads to hours of hilarious crustacean combat. The game could have easily been an unpredictable, button-mashing physics mess, but the fact that there are legitimate layers of executable strategy to the combat makes it a thrilling challenge to boot. Even if you don't like crabs, Fight Crab will easily convert you into a claw-believer.

About as shallow as a rock pool, but somehow crams a ludicrous amount of chaotic crustacean combat into its depths

Fight Crab gives dangerous weapons to crabs, and it's a wonderful, hilarious mess of a fighting game.

Fight Crab is a brilliant execution of a superbly simple joke, and also a complete nightmare.

I’m only going to give you one guess as to what the game Fight Crab is about, and I’m pretty sure that everyone will get it right. You play as a crab, and you fight other crabs. If that doesn’t sound like your cup of tea, then you just won’t be the demographic for this game. However, if you’re excited to get your big meaty claws around the pathetic carapace of one of your crustacean brethren, then you’re in for one big seafood treat, my friend.

Bottom line: Fight Crab offers an entertaining, and refreshingly unique experience and is certainly worth a look for that. But the game feels very rough around the edges and I think it needs some more time to have its flaws ironed out. If you don’t expect too much from it, you’ll definitely get your money’s worth of entertainment. But the game is at times sloppy and unprofessional, even for an indie title, which does harm the experience to a noticeable degree.

That’s thankfully the only gameplay affecting issue I experienced. My other complaints with the game have to do with just general UI nitpicks. Being a game that’s going to the effort to have a stat heavy system, encouraging you to craft specific crab builds, it’s bizarre how when playing multiplayer the “more stat info” tabs that open up on the crab selection screen clips off-screen when you have more than two players. Playing with a few friends the other day, they hadn’t even realized that screen was there because it wouldn’t appear until we did 1v1 matches. Besides that, just other elements of the game’s menu border between amateurish in design to obtuse.

If you are fortunate (or unfortunate) enough to have buddies who would be into crab battles, Fight Crab offers a few different ways to get it on, including online co-op. It also supports most of the community features offered by Steamworks integration, such as achievements, leaderboards, and the ever-awesome remote play support. Objectively, this is barely a game but the events occurring within are preposterous enough that its $20 entry fee can be justified by interested parties. Equal parts fever dream and time-waster, Fight Crab may find a way to sidestep into your Steam library. 7/10 crab mallets

Fight Crab doesn’t do much outside of its very shallow premise. It delivers on exactly what it promises and not much else. If you can acclimate yourself to the purposefully messy controls, there is some fun to be found within its short playtime. It is in no way going to be the next big fighter or take the tournament scene by storm, but it doesn’t need to nor is it trying to. It’s silly enough to be a brief distraction and sometimes that’s all a game needs to be.

Although rough at times, Calappa Games have created something fun and light-hearted that a lot of people will get their fair share of joy from.

Want to play a game with easily the simplest of premises? Look no further than Fight Crab, the new arena brawler from Calappa Games. This game doesn’t want to waste your time, going straight to the point with how simple it is. You are a crab, whose sole objective in life is to fight other crabs. Alright, maybe it does leave a few questions, but the idea behind it is still as simple as can be. The controls are almost just as easy to understand, you pick a direction to move, as swing like you...
