Everything is Crab: The Animal Evolution Roguelite

Is Crab

I kind of wish I could give this a neutral review. It's fun for a bit, but there's nowhere near as much replayabilty as you'd expect. I've played for about 6 hours and at this point I'd rather play Balatro (where I have 500+ hours) or pretty much anything else. The problem is that most builds end up the same. You basically make two meaningful choices for the entire game: an attack based on "ability" or "physical" and to increase or decrease your size, and this is usually dictated by what you roll first. Most of the upgrades are pretty simple and not a hard decision; you pick the one that increases whatever you're already working towards. A lot of the upgrades fit into (or are pretty much required) for most builds (ie increased health, increased speed, increased feeding speed) and you level up so many times in a run you can guarantee you'll end up taking a few of the same things every round. The branching evolutions fall short for the same reasons: they don't introduce many new options, so you just pick the one with the stat boosts that align with what you already have. Some of the options seem to suggest different playstyles (vegetarian, carnivore, pescatarian) but from what I've seen there's no real support past one or two minor upgrades, and no real incentive to deviate from the simpler "eat everything" strategy. I was impressed for a while with how the character sprite would change and develop as you picked evolutions but, as I mentioned above, there's no real incentive to specialize and some evolutions are pretty much mandatory, so the end result is pretty much the same every time and is just an amalgamation of random animal parts. Overall, it's just lacking the depth that good roguelikes have. There's no real reason for the different biomes. There's no real variation in strategy. You encounter most of the enemies in just a couple of runs. Most of the attacks play the same with minor variations in hitbox shape. There's also a few points where things seem unbalanced. For example, the "scuttle" dash seems worse than the default dash, and I've never been tempted to unlock the stone throwing ability since it requires ammo and by the time it's unlockable, it's a lot weaker than whatever attack I've been using up to that point. You could add a lot of depth to this game, but looking at the roadmap, that doesn't seem to be the direction that the devs are going, and I can't really see myself coming back to this game unless there's a major overhaul. It's a shame, because the concept is really cool.

还是挺好玩的 物种融合的设计也挺有意思 这里给个推荐 但是后面越来越难了 然后重复性也太大了 才第四关怪的ai基本上都是死追着不放的完全不给机会和时间

Не могу сказать, что это игра прекрасно во всём, но в чём-то она точно хороша

fun crab

Addictive fun

初見プレイは斬新で面白いのですが　長くは面白くないので残念でした 特段周回したからといって特別こちらが強くなることはありません ３～４回目ぐらいになると　ビルドはだいたいやってしまい あとは消化プレイ気味になります 敵のラインナップもほぼ変わらずボスは完全に一緒 ヴァンサバみたいに爽快感みたいなのもありません とりあえず現在８週目ぐらいですが 強いビルドはだいたい決まっており 変な特化的なビルドやると死ぬし　強い同じビルドとかだとただの焼き直しで飽きてきました プレイ時間から１２００円だとちょっと損と感じた印象です

Very fun game!
