Developer Aggro Crab has revealed that Another Crab's Treasure became the studio's best launch yet after selling 100,000 copies in under four days. Another Crab's Treasure is only the studio's second game but has quickly earned a positive reputation after its successful launch.
The soulslike adventure game released on April 25 for all major platforms and was also added to Xbox Game Pass as a day-one launch title. Another Crab's Treasure brings a fresh approach to the usually gritty soulslike genre by incorporating a much lighter theme somewhat reminiscent of SpongeBob SquarePants, along with comedic and relatable characters. Despite the lighthearted overtones, the game features challenging combat and has been well-received by most fans and critics. It seems that Aggro Crab's refreshing take on the genre has led the studio to reach new heights.
Aggro Crab's official Twitter account confirmed the 100,000-units-sold milestone for Another Crab's Treasure and further revealed that two-thirds of its sales have come from Steam. This milestone is in addition to the game's performance on Game Pass, where Another Crab's Treasure is presumably performing quite well following its solid reception. The game currently holds a 93% user rating on Steam and an 86% critic recommendation rating on OpenCritic. Additionally, Another Crab's Treasure is discounted by 10% on Steam and Nintendo's digital store until May 2, putting its current price at $27 on those platforms. Users on PlayStation and Xbox who aren't Game Pass members will need to pay the full $30 price.
Plenty of players have already completed the game, as Another Crab's Treasure takes about 15 to 20 hours for most users to beat. The game starts with Kril's home shell being taken away for tax reasons and follows him along his journey through a polluted ocean to reclaim his shell, with players defeating bosses, making friends, and finding collectibles along the way.
Despite its innocent nature at first glance, Another Crab's Treasure features skillful combat that requires users to combine dodging and various combat mechanics to defeat enemies like in other soulslike games. Although some fans might not find its combat as deep or challenging as other popular games in the genre.
Another Crab's Treasure also includes customization options that aim to scratch that itch for those who love to personalize their in-game characters. In addition to interchangeable shells, which serve as Kril's shield, players will also find new outfits as they explore the game. These outfits can be found at Shellfish Desires in New Carcinia or in the overworld in various semi-hidden locations.
