The apparent crustacean enthusiasts at indie studio Aggro Crab are utterly delighted by the positive response to their new Soulslike Another Crab’s Treasure, which is a joy to see after the studio’s many development hurdles.
Regardless, while the game isn’t officially out, the review embargo has lifted and impressions are generally very positive. We don’t have an official review, but our news editor Ali Jones played the demo duringSteam Next Festand hadplenty of nice things to sayabout its sense of humor, shell-based combat, and grappling hook mechanics.

One thing I love about this is that most of the reviews the developers are reacting to are in the 8/10 range, which is conventionally considered “great” but lately has for some inexplicable reason been misinterpreted as something vaguely average, or just above average. It’s just plain nice to see developers celebrate what is an unambiguous win despite the shift in tone online. Now that’s how you celebrate a game release.
