Another Crab's Treasure Review - An Accessible Souls-Like!? 

The aesthetics of this game will definitely get people that normally wouldn't play Souls like games to get out of their shell and give it a try.

omg I voiced the Duchess and absolutely HOLLERED when I heard this clip of her!!! Thanks for the review, can't wait to play this bad boy myself 🥺

Nice I have to admit the first game looked intriguing.When I heard “Souls-like game”I thought that ain’t for me let it go.This second game with options that even newcomers can enjoy on a lower difficulty encourage me to pick this one up😃🤗Thanks for the review👌

Had this on my radar since Iron Pineapple played it in one of his videos. Love the idea of the different shells, and the setting is really something unique!

I'm ready I'm ready

You gave it a good score even though you don't like Souls games is high praise. I'm looking forward to it. Not big on Souls games myself (only played Sekiro and Lies of P), but the main character was what got my attention.

Great review! Thank you for the thorough explanation of aspects you enjoyed and disliked. Thank you especially for including commentary regarding the Steam Deck performance - this may be common in your reviews, but I am a new subscriber and just want to say that it’s a wonderful touch since Steam Deck playability often makes the difference for me when choosing a platform. I’m really excited for the accessibility features as well since it means my daughter can finally try one of my favorite genres. Take care!

I loved the accessibility in Steelrising and I am happy to see it here. I plan to pick this up sometime soon. As always, I appreciate the review.

looks charmingly fun.

This is on Gamepass so I'm playing it day one now. Thanks for the review.

Hells yeah!! Gonna play this on Ally or Steam Deck!! Looks like a fun mix of 3d platformer and souls like.

I am so ready

Crab.

This one looks interesting, it did make me think of Sebastián at first lol hopefully they can patch this one up soon. I'll wait for a better sale on it. I appreciate the review! 🤙🏻

It would be far more accessible if the game's dodge rolls and heals didn't randomly decide to stop responding every fucking three seconds.

Are you a ROTC fan?

lol that genji looking game. I think it was another example of showcasing an enemies weak points. or I could be thinking of another e3 showcase lol.

Anybody ever buy a game out of spite? I had a really dumb talk with a Souls elitist on how some accessibility features can go a long way and I'm thinking of buying this game just to spite them.

It’s a bummer the combat didn’t click for this reviewer… I was a little unclear whether he actually chose to utilize the accessibility feature or not, but maybe that was at the heart of it…? As a Souls vet, I actually think they nailed the combat. Understanding, of course, that it’s a simplified version of what you get in a true Souls in terms of build diversity and whatnot, it’s still very refined and *feels* “correct,” which a lot of non-FromSoft soulslikes (even more ambitious projects) don’t quite nail. But here the timing feels right, enemy placement is good, and the challenge is there to give you that rush of excitement when you emerge from a hard battle by the skin of your teeth or just barely reach the “bonfire.” So anyway, yeah, I disagree with the points about the combat, but if you’re already not a fan of Souls, you probably won’t really click with this without putting in some effort (at which point, you “get it” and probably *should* go and give Souls another chance!). The platforming, exploration, vibrant color palette, cute characters, and based anti-capitalist themes (that it manages to get across while still not feeling preachy) set this apart, though, and make it pretty much a masterpiece in my book. Love what these devs have done here, praying for *another* Another Crab’s Treasure!

Theres nothing more accessible about this game than any other souls game.

Thanks xbox gamepass ❤

I wouldn't call it a Soulslike. I know that's what the devs intended, but it fails hard at being a Soulslike. It's just a generic 3D platformer, far away from being a Soulslike in my opinion.
