“I truly feel like a champion playing this game! let's start with the basics the crab jiggle physics are BEYOND this world and definitely a staple in the hentai category every time i hop on with the boys we have a little…”
“This is one of the most amazingly ridiculous games I have played. It is pure dumb fun with insane movement and fun synergies. Its risk of rain 2 but with parkour crabs”
“Great game to play with friends, many fun weapons and abilities to choose from, cool character skins 11/10 Must Try.”

“This game is straight up hard drugs levels of addiction. We just need to petition Monstercat or whatever to let them use Crab Rave in the game again, its a travesty that they don't. This is a must buy for anyone who…”

“Great Roguelite, haven't found any bugs, visuals are stylish and realistic, challenging, lots of build variety and items, well balanced, bunch of unlockables, progression is well paced, chaotic fun, skins are cool,…”
“Took me a minute after my son recommended this game, but I think I'm finally getting the hang of it! There's not a huge amount of depth to this game, but what's there is more than sufficient to justify the asking price.…”

“At some point I had 3 FPS, no idea what the heck was happening, but I won. Would play again.”
“I'm pretty blown away at the smooth gameplay, weapon variety, and in depth upgrade system that makes every run feel different. Best indie game in the rougelike genre! I will be trying to convince all my friend to buy it…”
“After spending a lot of hours in Crab Champions, I can say it’s one of the most fun and surprisingly deep shooters I’ve played. It looks silly at first — you’re a crab with a gun — but once you start playing, the game…”

“I honestly think this game is a BANGER of a roguelike I have gotten some really good runs for example island 200 with an auto shotgun and any weapon you use theirs a build for it and the only thing i did not like is…”
“Ts game is fun asf and as far as i can tell there isn't anything that needs fixing except maybe a tutorial for it unless i missed that”
“crab champions, a game about using guns killing bugs skulls or your close related family but sadly i will never get the highest rank because the ants have aimbot and always kills me :) ill will get around these ants”

“Start game with almost 300 frames, plays for an hour, summons nukes with ungodly amount of affects that repeats several times, make game have 1-3 frames. 10/10 still trying to break game”

“Had this for 3 years in my Steam wishlist. What for... I don't even know, at least [u]not anymore[/u]. The game just immediately spawns you in some poorly made lobby, which is so unprofessional. Basically the whole UI…”
“Very silly rouge-like where you play as a crab with a gun. Supports multiplayer, has a little bit of depth and variety and can support a good handful of playthroughs. The balance isn't perfect though, and I've found…”

“I bought this game thinking it would be funny.... but it's genuinely somehow one of the most fun roguelites I have ever played. Can't recommend enough if you enjoy this genre. Who would've thought a crab with weapons could bring me hours of joy and entertainment?”
— a player, Steam review · 268 hrs played“There's not much to say, probably the best $10 I've ever spent. Lots of replay value, item builds are fun, weapon variety is great. Even if this game never reached a 1.0 release, in it's current state it's more than good enough. Dev is pretty active, keeps making the game better…”
