Crab Champions - Dancing crabs conquer the gaming world - Everything you need to know about the quirky crab adventure
Do you remember the crazy Crab Rave music video from 2018 that spawned countless memes? Noisestorm, the artist behind that hit, has developed a third-person action shooter game about crabs called Crab Champions. Despite launching in early access on April 1, 2023, it's no joke. In fact, the game is surprisingly good. At the time of writing this article, Crab Champions has already received 1,314 reviews on Steam, and 98% of them are positive. It turns out that this game is not just a gimmick. It's not just the Crab Rave game; it's Crab Champions, and it's impressing players.

A roguelike shooter set in the crab universe

In this game, you fight your way from island to island against crab-like enemies, collecting loot, weapons, and powering up by building an overpowered arsenal. You will experience 20-40 minute roguelike runs that offer remarkably fluid movement and combat mechanics.

You can play alone or with up to three other people in co-op mode. In this regard, it is very similar to Risk of Rain 2, only everything is made up of crabs. Everywhere are crabs, silly clacking claws, sideways walking, and long-legged jumps. The weapons are diverse and there are many quirky extras to change up your playstyle, as well as buff equipment that fits any build.

Sensational soundtrack by Noisestorm

As the creator is also a musician, the soundtrack naturally consists of great tracks if you are a fan of electro-dance and club music. It's Crab Rave on steroids and it adds to the excitement.

In summary: Lots of crabs! So, if you're in the mood for an original and fun gaming experience, you should definitely try Crab Champions. You can find the game on Steam and on the official website crabchampions.com.
