Review consensus
Another Crab’s Treasure is a colorful, comedic Soulslike that distinguishes itself through its underwater setting, creative shell system, and unusually strong emphasis on 3D platforming. Its polluted-ocean story is more earnest than its absurd premise suggests, supported by memorable characters, expressive voice acting, and a steady stream of oceanic jokes. Combat offers meaningful variety as shells break and force adaptation, while accessibility options make the challenge more approachable. However, uneven difficulty spikes, punishing bosses, unclear objectives, technical roughness, awkward camera moments, and some overlong platforming sections undermine the adventure. Critics broadly found it imaginative and enjoyable, though occasionally frustrating and less polished than its best ideas.
