Обсуждения игроков

Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийA third-person roguelike shooter by solo developer Noisestorm (the Crab Rave musician) where you play an armed crab clearing 28 islands across four biomes, solo or in up to 4-player co-op.

Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийCrab Champions is one of the best-reviewed Early Access roguelikes on Steam: about 97.9% positive from roughly 31,000 reviews (Overwhelmingly Positive), after launching in Early Access on 1 April 2023 at around $10. Players praise the fluid movement, satisfying gunplay, build variety and a responsive solo developer, and often compare it to Risk of Rain 2 or Gunfire Reborn. Critics have treated it as a pleasant surprise rather than a joke game (Rogueliker, mein-mmo, GameStar coverage), but there is no aggregate critic score. It is still in Early Access with console versions hoped for but not confirmed in what I found. The recent negative reviews are mostly about a major update that reworked maps, difficulty and loot, plus a long Prismatic grind, not about the core game.

Что хвалят игроки

  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийFluid, momentum-based movement (sliding, jumping, dodging sideways) that players compare to Risk of Rain 2 and Doom-style movement shooters
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийDeep build-crafting with very broken, synergy-heavy combos and an enormous variety of weapons, abilities, perks and melee
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийShort-to-long flexible runs (roughly 20-40 minutes, or hours if you loop the game) that are easy to jump into and easy to sink a weekend into
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийCo-op for up to four players, with item and money trading and strong word-of-mouth (one reviewer gifted it to about 15 friends)
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийCustomisable difficulty: stackable modifiers that score points towards harder tiers for both casual and hardcore runs
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийResponsive single developer who reads and filters community feedback and keeps shipping updates
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийSynthwave-style soundtrack and goofy, positive crab-with-a-shotgun identity; no microtransactions, cosmetics unlocked via play
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийGood optimisation and QoL such as auto-pickup of money and auto-looting the map

Что критикуют игроки

  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийVisual clutter: chaotic particle effects, low-contrast enemies and health bars are hard to read, especially in turret builds; no colour-blind options yet
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийFrame-rate drops and even crashes when huge numbers of projectiles, clones or chests spawn in extreme builds
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийLate-game and top-difficulty balance swings: Prismatic/Diamond feel punishing, with instant-death style mechanics, tiny boss arenas and lunging enemies, per negative reviews
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийLoot RNG feels harsher after the big update, with good perks moved to higher rarities and fewer epics and legendaries seen
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийSome players call the game shallow or repetitive once everything is unlocked, with similar-feeling weapons and little new content at the end
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийReports of cloud-save and unlock-progress loss for a few players, and startup crashes for others
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийEnemies occasionally spawn in unreachable spots, and small or restrictive maps leave little cover
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийSeveral post-overhaul reviews say movement feels sluggish ('stuck in mud') and that beloved fun items were nerfed in the name of balance

Отличительные особенности

  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийMade by the Irish musician behind the Crab Rave meme, which began as an April Fools joke and grew into a real, polished game
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийCrab-themed third-person shooter with platforming-style acrobatics, a rare mix in a genre dominated by top-down and first-person games
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийLooping runs that can go past 100 rounds, with stacking greed perks that scale enemy spawns into absurd numbers
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийExtremely modular difficulty system where player-chosen modifiers define the challenge tier
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийTurret and ability-mod builds, elemental effects (ice, etc.) and melee claws alongside a fully automatic rifle loadout

Спорные моменты

  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийThe late-2025 overhaul (new graphics, revamped islands, reworked difficulty and loot): some beta players loved the optimisation and quality of life changes, while others say maps are smaller and less fun and loot is nerfed
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийDeveloper balance direction: some say the dev caters to hardcore top-percent players and nerfs fun builds, while others praise the dev for separating good feedback from bad
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийWhether the game is deep or shallow: fans call the build variety enormous, a minority say the core loop is thin

Повторы и неудобства

  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийGrinding Prismatic: clearing the game twice (56 islands) and redoing every weapon for the new top tier
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийCollecting all-items and diamond achievements, described as not a fun process by long-time players
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийGauntlet portals that reviewers say are too hard for too little reward
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийExtreme chest or spawn scaling that slows or crashes the game
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийRepeated islands with similar layouts after many hours, per some reviewers and Reddit-style discussions
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийHeavy RNG dependence when chasing 100% completion across every weapon, called painful by players who finished it before the overhaul

Ожидаемые улучшения

  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийColour-blind and enemy-visibility options plus less particle noise
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийEase the top difficulty grind and avoid forcing players to redo every weapon to earn the new top rank
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийRestore larger, more varied islands or add a hard cap on simultaneous elites
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийBetter tutorial and a simpler lobby system for new players
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийPermanent lobby upgrades and more late-game content or variety
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийSplit-screen and console versions, which reviewers request explicitly

Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийLaunched in Steam Early Access on 1 April 2023 (five years after Crab Rave) and was near 98% positive from the start; it is still around 98% in 2026 with around 800 concurrent players at last check. Metacritic has a page but shows tbd for both critic and user scores (only two user ratings), and I did not find an OpenCritic entry. A major update in autumn 2025 (graphics rework, new islands, new difficulty tier above Diamond, loot changes, and a hotfix in early November) produced a wave of negative recent reviews even though overall score stayed very high. Windows only on Steam; console release and split-screen are requested by players but I found no confirmation. Earlier content updates such as the Elemental update were praised by critics like Rogueliker for not wasting players time.

Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийTier list Part 1 (2023)

Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийCrab Champions is a third-person 3D shooter where you play a crab with a gun, and it became popular off the back of a meme. He finds it visually good and genuinely funny, but thinks the balance is terrible, with some items absurdly overpowered and others useless. He was surprised by how well it was reviewed given how underwhelming it felt to him. He puts it in high C and might revisit it if the balance gets fixed.

Что хвалит автор

  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийVisuals and 3D animations look great
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийVery funny and entertaining to see and play
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийStrong meme-driven appeal that earned real success and recognition
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийTrailer looks even better than the game

Проблемы, отмеченные автором

  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийHorrendously poor balance
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийSome items are insanely powerful while others are completely useless
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийHis very first run became an infinite run because he was overpowered
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийFeels underwhelming despite great reviews; lots left to fix

Наблюдения о дизайне

  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийBuilt around a meme premise: a crab with a gun in a third-person 3D shooter
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийIts popularity came from the meme more than from tight design

Обновлённое мнение

Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийHe may revisit it later to see whether updates fixed the balance issues; he hasn't checked recent patches.
