That being said, if you're willing to be patient and don't mind the untraditional controls, this can be a really funny game to play whether on your own or with a friend. On top of that, the menus are rather clunky - and in the case of setting up local multiplayer, downright annoying. However, the controls are not intuitive, so you must run through the single-player campaign in order to experience the turorial before you can efficiently play online or local multiplayers. Additionally, the visuals look really nice considering how simple of a game it is. The battles themselves are entertaining and I love all of the ridiculous weapons you can unlock as you make your way through the single-player campaign. I was really hoping that I'd enjoy Fight Crab more than I ended up liking it. This being the case, getting the two of you set up for a match takes way longer than it should and just comes off as tedious. This is a problem since players need to view those stats in order to make a powerful set of decisions. This is especially true when playing in local multiplayer.įor example, if you're starting up a local two-player battle with a friend on your Nintendo Switch and one of you pulls up the stats menu for specific crabs or the weapons you want to choose, it freezes the other player and won't allow them to continue making their own selections until the first person has closed the stats menu. I could get past this game's strange controls or even the crabs' sluggish responses and get into the fighting if it wasn't for how the menus are absolutely frustrating and clunky.

But even so, it still just doesn't feel quite right. We would love to see Crab Champions ported over to PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch, but for now, you can access the game only on PC. This is probably due to the fact that the arenas are underwater and so your crab is fighting the weight of the ocean to make its attacks. You can get them to go where you want, but it definitely feels delayed. They seemed to be a little slow to my commands and yet at the same time, a bit overreactive to the in-game physics.įor example, the crustaceans' arms felt more like those of rag doll's - completely at the mercy of the crab's movements. However, I often still felt like I wasn't in full control of the crustaceans. Once you understand how to command your crab, things get a little better. So, I had to put off playing a local multiplayer session with my husband and run through the first level of the campaign by myself to even learn how to efficiently control these decapods before we could even play together. To my frustration, I discovered the tutorial is only accessible at the start of the single-player campaign. As such, this is not a game you can pick up and start playing with a friend until you've completed the tutorial. Unfortunately, the controls are a bit convoluted and require explaination before you can dive in and pit crabs against each other. Since you're playing with non-human, non-bipedal creatures, there's a learning curve to gameplay. The controls are a bit convoluted and require explaination before you can dive in.
