There is a lot lurking underwater, including a bunch of little baby crabs and a giant crab king if you are playing the game Crab God. This atmospheric, underwater strategy game has you trying to manage your gang of baby crabs to create an efficient colony!
You get a few baby crabs to sort of control, around a space where you’ve made your home. You can assign these crabs different roles in your colony, things like hunter (who kill any sort of enemies that try to invade), gardener (who plant underwater plants and destroy kelp), scavengers (who collect food) and more. These different roles often cost orbs to change, but you can change any of your crabs into worshipers for free. As worshippers they will pray to your Crab God and your food storage, allowing you to get more orbs.
Orbs are used for basically everything; but, getting plants set up and changing roles are how you’re mostly going to be spending them. Different plants actually attract different fish, and there are a set number of types of fish to discover per place that you migrate. Your end goal for each level is to keep all of your crabs alive and hit a specific number of food stashed in your massive shell. You can collect more than the needed amount, but once you have hit that goal, you can change where you are migrating to.
Some levels of Crab God have their own egg hidden in the level that, if you can clear the path to it, you can spend some orbs to hatch as a crab and add it to your colony. This is very useful, especially if you find yourself losing crabs to starfish and dangerous sea creatures who attack in the night. I have found that Crab God is much more challenging at night, where these enemies do appear.
When you do decide to move, you can then dish out food to your crabs. Some crabs are hungry, so you will need to fill their bellies before giving them extra food to level them up. Leveling up your crabs will make them more efficient at whatever role you put them in!
Crab God‘s developers are working with dots.eco to use in-game progression to help contribute to real life ocean conservation efforts, so you could use this game to give back to the world.
