After getting robbed 3 times during development, devs behind bizarre crab Soulslike are shell-shocked by stellar reviews: "Chat is this real?"

The apparent crustacean enthusiasts at indie studio Aggro Crab are utterly delighted by the positive response to their new S♒oulslike Another Crab's Treasure, which is a joy to see after the studio's many development hurdles.

Namely, those development hurdles include three, yes three, break-𝄹ins at their Seattle-based studio in the months running up to launch. Not only that, but Another Crab's Treasure is releasing on the same day as the highly anticipated and much talked-about action RPG 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Stellar Blade, not to mention in the same week as 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Bandai Namco's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Sand Land, making for some pretty stiff launch competition for the pluck🎐y ꧙little crab Soulslike.

Regardless, while the game isn't officially out, the review embargo has lifted and impressions are generally very positive. We don't have an official review, but our news editor Ali Jones played the demo during 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Steam Next Fest and had 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:plenty of nice things to say about its sense of humor,📖 shell-based c꧂ombat, and grappling hook mechanics.

Over on Twitter, a bunch o𒐪f humble developers behind the game are overjoyed by the response, and frankly, it was just too heartwarming not 📖to share with y'all. Here are some of my favorite reactions:

One thing I love about this is that mಌost of the reviews the developers are reacting to are in the 8/10 range, which is conventionally considered "great" but lately has for some inexplicable reason been misinterpreted as something vaguely average, or just above average. It's just plain nice to see developers celebrate what is an unambiguous win despite the shift in tone online. Now that's how you celebrate a game release.

Here are some more 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming indie games we can't wait to get our claws on.

After earning an English degree from ASU, I worked asܫ a corporate copy editor while freelancing for places like SFX Magazine, Screen Rant, Game Revolution, and MMORPG on the side. I 🤡got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
