    • “The variety of crabs and their stats are funny, there are a bunch of weapons to use and customize your crab, and the gameplay is both fun and entertaining as you smash your opponents with a hammer or slam into them with rockets attached to your claws.”

    • “Absolutely horrible gameplay, Jesus Christ, it's a mess.”
    • “Extremely shallow gameplay; a bit of a rip-off at £15, if I'm honest.”

    • “To top things off, the soundtrack goes way too hard for a game like this, and I appreciate the devs for doing it anyways. Of course, I bought the soundtrack.”

  • story
    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it engaging and well-developed, particularly praising its world-building and emotional depth. While the campaign is considered short and not the main draw of the game, it offers interesting plot threads and character development that keep players invested. However, others note that the primary focus remains on combat and gameplay rather than a robust narrative, with some players feeling that the story is secondary to the overall experience.

    • “The story alone captivated me and kept me engaged throughout every section.”
    • “Amazing story, the combat is the best and worst thing you will ever see in your life, the world building is second to none.”
    • “Intense combat, excellent world building, and realistic characters that keep you engaged in the story.”
    • “Surely you didn’t come to a game called Fight Crab looking for a story, and indeed all you’re going to get here are vague allusions to becoming the king of all crabs.”
    • “The primary story quests give the characters involved a bit more freedom to move, and naturally benefit from hosting the more interesting plot threads: that of crab's inescapable metamorphosis from a by-the-books crab square to something a lot more unscrupulous for the greater good, and how this change affects the relationship with his loving but uncompromising father figure.”
    • “Campaign is a bit short, but let's face it, it's Fight Crab, so we're not here for a campaign story.”
  • graphics
    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

  • emotional
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game evokes strong emotions through its unique narrative of crab-betrayal and love, with some players finding it more impactful than even highly regarded titles like The Last of Us 2. However, despite its exquisite gameplay and graphics, some reviewers feel that the emotional arcs and character development could have been more impactful.

  • replayability
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game offers a solid replayability factor, particularly through its engaging campaign and unlockable content, which many players find enjoyable. However, the multiplayer aspect is lacking, with a dwindling player base that diminishes its replay value. While the game has enough content to justify its price, its long-term replayability may depend on having friends to play with.

    • “The campaign is absolutely fun and has some good replayability.”
    • “High replay value, and a fantastic time waster.”
    • “I wish there was more content with replay value because I would play the heck out of it if there was.”
    • “The multiplayer is dead; nobody even plays it, so there's no real replay value.”
    • “With a surprising amount of unlockable weapons, characters, and stages, there is more than enough content to be worth the $20 at full price, even without factoring in the replay value offered by endless wave missions and the online functionality, both co-op and competitive.”
  • grinding
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and frustrating, particularly when using a keyboard, which leads to a clunky and unresponsive experience. This has caused some users to abandon the game in search of more enjoyable alternatives.

    • “Well, he moved on to a different game near instantly, and here I am grinding and looking for time to play this game.”

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “The game offers some nice graphics, although there are some ugly glitches here and there.”
    • “With this much dedication, I imagine most of the frustrating bugs and glitches will be patched out in no time!”
  • optimization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The optimization in "Fight Crab" is noted for its peak performance, despite some disconnect in character lip-syncing due to the unique crab characters. While the game lacks strong Japanese voice work, the motion capture performances of the crab cast are effectively retained.

    • “You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.”
    • “That's not the fault of the acting; Fight Crab doesn't have any passionate and strong-sounding Japanese voice work, at least to my human ear. However, there is a visible disconnect with character lip-syncing (because crabs don't have lips), which retains the mocap performances of the notably all-crab cast.”
  • atmosphere
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere of the game is highly engaging and addictive, even if the combat mechanics are somewhat clunky.

    • “The atmosphere is incredibly immersive, drawing you into the game's world and making every moment feel significant.”
