Crab Champions

super fun but it would be cool if they added a totem in the lobby for 10 keys for a perminent upgrade that wont waste slots

Ive played this game a ton over the years and have had a ton of fun but man... with this last update I've been getting randomly one shot on nightmare mode and is extremely frustrating. at least before I had some sort of opportunity to recover or outplay.

i love this game, i have 150 hours in it, have done several diamond runs and have every single item unlocked. I have done hundreds of runs and have enjoyed most of them, But this new update sucks in my opinion, the predictive fire and damage increase has just absolutely ruined this, ill be doing fine with 200 hp in the round and out of nowhere a sniper crab will one shot me, Ill be in a boss fight and an ice crab will shot directly into my path between dashes and there is nothing you can do. I love this game and everything they've done, but i hate the newest update to enemies. also the new health system is terrible. WHY REMOVE HEARTS? mangos take up a slot as a perk and so do bananas.

It a fun game to play in free time and the skins are relly fun to collect and just really fun in all with the new updated was really cool

f-ing amazing just purely build poison and such and your set

i think crab champinos is a really gfun game with a lot of quality fun with friends

very good game fun to play and there is always ways to get better

fun gameplay, lots of content, you can become broken and most importantly:

CRAB 🦀🦀🦀

I looked at this game a couple times and always stopped myself from buying as the premise is just that stupid and crabs and skulls always smelled a bit asset flippy.
gave it a try yesterday and it`s an instant favorite. the dynamic fast movement, weapon upgrades and perks, dozens of cosmetics to unlock, the upbeat happy music...it`s freaking amazing :D

This game keeps on giving, with incredible updates.

crab shoots up bug party

How is this one of the BEST GAMES on Steam!? Ultra cheap, but extremely fun. Hours and hours of gameplay. Fantastic co-op that doesn't slow down. If you're a roguelike gamer, buy it.

I dont do many reviews but for rogue lite this is top shelf. I have nothing bad to say its just awesome and one of the best if not the best on the market. sale at 6.99 you Cannot go wrong just amazing!! i will be investing more hours in this one but actually took time to make a review :)

Good game, great music, fantastic crabs 🦀

Banger CO-OP rogelite, don't let the silly theme as it is extremely fun.

The dev is kind of a god, the game is hyper optimized and runs super well on all types of hardware no matter the amount of enemies and projectiles around which is quite frankly astounding. Development is also actively ongoing with a lot of attention to detail

Addicting game loop, great music, all of the drops you get from each level feel useful and the randomness doesn't feel like a disadvantage. Highly recommend if you're looking for a quick action shooter to pick and play.

This game is addictive. Tons of fun upgrades and perks, plenty of challenges if you choose to get greedy, and lots of different weapons and abilities to use! Best part? There are still tons of updates on the horizon. Noisestorm made an excellent game.

fun movement and cool abilities, especially the massive range on the default melee weapon; definitely left a good impression on me and im excited to play more

Really awesome game. Movement is really clean and shooting feels absolutely satisfying. Absolutely worth the money. Many stuff to do and u can bring ur own variety in. I recommend this game while listening to crab rave to get maximum stats. No seriously if u want a game with fast and cool movement buy it now!!

I love this game sooo much it bring me so much joy to be a crab running around shooting things especially with my friends. I would seriously consider this game if you love fun goofy games

10/10 great game failed a few times and it made me angry but I pushed past and am now at 100 and dealing billions of damage each second

Good game i love it but wish i could hear the crab rave at least in the shop because it was made by the person who made crab rave, but anyways love the game

Stupid fun game. A few months back, my brother and I broke the game so hard that it caused my PC to blue screen. Maxed out every perk we had, each level took nearly 20 minutes to beat, and gave so many chests, that we were waiting for nearly just as long to collect items as it took to beat the levels.

Overall, I'd give it a 9/10. Only leaving a point off because it needs even more content. Once it has more, I might try to give my PC another heart attack with it. :)

Wonderfully simple and loads of fun. Truly addicting and a great way to relax and vent frustration once you get going. Also all updates have been free and seem to always be free, at least for the early access period. Also it runs fantastically even on older hardware.

It isn't flawless though. It encourages you to play more than 2 loops but right now there isn't much point to, that is for now though as the creator is adding more content still even if updates are slow. Noisestorm is a single developer for the entire game so it is understandable. There are also a few redundant things in the game. Personally I don't use the combo system at all and I will not touch the parkour levels ever if I can help it.

great game super fun movement and core gameplay loop. an awesome amount of upgrades and weapons make this game feel like an upgraded risk of rain

its high energy chaos that does not penalize you for going easy. honestly i love that you can break the game if you pay attention to your build. and if you want a challenge, just up the difficulty. co-op has been my favorite thing about this game. sharing powerups and money when you want to makes it pretty cozy. its a simple playing experience with a ton of mileage

So amazing! Lots of fun, easy to pick up and play. Fun to try different powerups to see what works well. Honestly, a silly fun time. Worth a try!

This is a super impressive game for a solo dev, it's lots of fun and it's not really a meme game despite a lot of peoples first impressions. Sure the crab thing is kinda funny but this is a genuinely well made fun and repayable game, it's good fun in multiplayer too.

This games best strength by far however is how dedicated Noisestorm (solo dev of the game) is, he is constantly making small updates to the beta versions of the game and frequently interacts with the community, taking their feedback and ideas. This game is more fun and has more playtime in it than most AAA games that come out nowadays so it's 100% worth the price

This Game is just fantastic.
Noisestorm plsss make more Games :3 great Work on this one

Very fun and replay is great too

The game's still in early beta, but it's already a ton of fun, especially with friends. The gameplay is engaging and the mechanics are pretty solid. There's plenty of potential here, and it's definitely worth checking out if you enjoy some co-op chaos. Looking forward to seeing how it develops.

This game is fun. I really enjoy Gunfire Reborn and this is like that but for when you dont plan on sleeping anytime soon, its fast paced, sharp and has gratuitous explosions. Looking forward to unlocking more.

Aside from great gameplay, straight away you get a sense of what the dev cares about - YOU. You push play on steam and immediately you are in the lobby ready to play. No 5x brand screens and logins and account creation, just play. I dont recall this ever before, bravo good Sir.

I have once seen a stream which had this game in the background, my neurons activated and I searched for this game. It looks amazing my brain said, must buy! Then I played this game, it was interesting. I played more and my run is really good! The game begins to lag from the sheer amount of bullets, enemies? die. My Pc? barely living. My crab? crabbing.
10/10 would recommend almost crashing the game again

This game is *really* fun in short bursts, and the core gameplay mechanics are super satisfying. This game has a ton of potential, and I really hope the multiplayer/matchmaking is expanded upon in the future.

At its core, Crab Champions is a roguelike movement shooter - a bit of a mash-up between the item building of Risk of Rain and the core gameplay and movement of Ultrakill or Doom Eternal, though lighter versions of both. It's accessible and fun at its lower difficulties, and a fair and enjoyable challenge at its higher difficulties.

Crab Champions exemplifies the concept of "early access indie game" more than any other game I've played, as it is in active development and is only developed by one dude. The game is clearly playable - I'm sitting at 950+ hours as of writing - but content is still being developed, and certain gameplay concepts are still finding their identity. There are occasional bugs, jank, and things that may feel unbalanced. The developer is extremely active with feedback, and much of where the game is can be tied to direct influence from the community. All of this sums up to be a very charming and special experience that you can't find in many other games nowadays.

Not everyone will find 900+ hours out of Crab Champions. There is an initial "unlock" phase early on where you unlock weapons and items that can be used in runs, and that phase goes by quickly. The primary end game loop revolves around beating the "hardest" difficulty on each weapon, which then gives you a medal rank for that weapon (e.g. Silver, Gold, Diamond, etc.). The end game loop is effectively finished once you have gotten the highest medal, Diamond, for every weapon. Afterwards, there is a secret "actual hardest" difficulty, though this isn't for everyone for a variety of reasons.

After that point, the game is what you make of it. For $15, most players will have a good time, maybe take a crack at getting all Diamonds and achievements, and then set it down to wait for the next major update. Maybe a fair 20-40 hours of gameplay. Those players will have a pretty good time and probably get their money's worth.

For the players that hunger for the buildcrafting of Risk of Rain and the movement and chaos of Doom, and never expected to find the two mashed together into a game where you play as a crab with a gun killing other crabs to funky tropical beats, this is likely to net you hundreds and hundreds of hours.

Perhaps you can even be The Crab Champion, but you'll have to beat me to it.

This game is a straight up banger. Easily one of my favourite steam games I've ever played. So much replay value and hundreds of hours of game play for that price point is actually so wholesome. Just got diamond on my account !

If you don't like games that challenge you and make you lock in to the point you can hear color, then Imma say thats a skill issue, and you need to do better.
THIS GAME WAS AN AWAKENING.
CRABS. GUNS.
CRABGUNS.
NUFF SAID.

still can't believe this game was announced on April Fools.. and its here. Love this game! One of the least frustrating rougelikes and one of my favorites though playtime is minimal.

i have been listening to Noisestorm since 2013-14, what a joy to see what he has done since then. Super fun game, tons to unlock, very re-playable with all the different ranged and melee weapons, abilities and of course all the in-run items.

Seriously worth the price and if you are a fan of Noisestorm's music, as I am, there are tons of songs to discover in this game and they all BANG, a couple of em remind of the old Noisestorm stuff too, like Sentinel and Barracuda.

Anyway, buy it, support this very talented man and I guarantee you will enjoy yourself.

This game is so much fun to play, especially with a group! It is fun figuring out your fighting style and your build for each round. Since you don't always end up with the same build it makes one round feel like a breeze and then the next is a nice challenge!

fun and you can get overpowered and its super chacotic

Good fun, though the random nature of unlocking new weapons is a bit of a letdown.

Game is very fun, but they need to have more frequent/regular content updates. Without the content updates, it becomes repetitive.

I bought this game mostly as a joke, and ended up enjoying it a ton.

Turns out, fun gameplay doesn't require cohesive assets or any kind of cohesion in terms of 'plot' or 'worldbuilding' (if this game could even be considered as having those). Nothing needs to make sense. Turns out, all you need is crab.

The roguelite nature of this game is really fun and addictive. Particularly enjoy playing this co-op. You can spec out in absurd builds (bouncing clone turrets anyone) to the point you're lagging like you're playing on your parents' 2006 HP Pavilion, or, if you want a challenge, spec in only greed perks and run xl totems with triple enemies. There's a lot of variety of weapon perks. I do hope more get added.

On certain runs, it's pretty much epilepsy simulator. Also, the music is unironically hype.

Pretty entertaining! Fun to see how different builds with different weapons play, super fun to play with friends as well

The game is really good and fun it's like a round based game where instead of rounds it's Irelands and you get to choose which Ireland you want to play but you only get too choices you can choose wave parkour elites damage critical elemental and that is some of the choices you can pick from it's a Rogue like so it's supposed to be hard at first but more you play the more upgrades you get for like your grenade melee or your gun like shogun or mini gun crossbow Pistol AR the only thing that I don't like about this game is that I played for 34hrs on the game and I got all the guns and melee and grenade I would like for more updates for like more weapons in the game different types of game modes like a parkour game mode where you and your friends can race to see who's the best and if you like you can play solo and practice on your parkour but what I'm trying to say is that it's a good game but I want more stuff and updates -"Zombokingx"

This game is soooo fun! The crab is cute, the soundtrack is amazing, and I love the mechanics! 10/10 would crab again.

Game is really fun with a lot of weapons and mods to keep it exciting trying different builds.

my one critique of the game is that is does not have a sand box mode to help people formulate on how a build will work befor entering a game

Bought it thinking it was a meme game, turned out to be very fun. If you like spreading the cheeks of a video game wide open and breaking it in half, then you will enjoy. I enjoy looping runs to the point there's so much sh*t on my screen I'm scared my pc is gonna crash, and I still keep going.
TLDR; Worth every dollar for how much mayhem you can cause

Alright so for the short of it buy the game if you have $10. This game is the best in its genre hands down and I've played most of them. I have an insane amount of hours in this game and they are all solo so you don't need coop for it to be enjoyable. I don't think there is a single thing in a run that will kill you that's the games fault. Any time you die you know exactly why it happened and what you did to cause it. (Looking at you barrels).
