| 2024-04-05 |  | | So fun to play again. 5 years later it's still one of my favorite games to come back to due to the simplicity, lack of shoving adds up my nose, low prices for power ups, and other things in the the shop. The game gives multiple opportunities to add 2 of their special crabs to your army, and the player has the ability to customize these crabs with skins they have earned in events. Also, the most amount of adds is in the skull bugs, butterflies, event butterflies, and the claw of midas, all good! |
| 2024-04-02 |  | | Very addicting. I've sunk quite a bit of time into this game. Once you unlock all the upgrades and mutations, that's pretty much it. There are weekly tournaments and other things to try and get if you're a completionist, but I'm quite bored with the game now. I started playing the game a few years ago and stopped for quite a few years. In that time, nothing has changed. It's still just a mindless march to infinity until you prestige and begin the mindless march again. |
| 2024-02-23 |  | | Loved this game as a kid. Looks really cool and I's great for a tapper. It just feels. Empty. You just infinitely go up, I unlocked most upgrades and possible crabs and evolutions. I've bought some things. Yet that's all there is. There doesn't feel to be any endgame at all. Ecdysis is prestige but the only thing you get from it is mutations. You don't need to do it. Wish there was more to the game. Maybe legendary crabs you can find at Extreme depths. Imperial reptiles that you have to beat etc |
| 2022-12-10 |  | | Despite the concept of a Crab War being rather entertaining, removing ads should be a one-time purchase and not a monthly subscription. I don't care that the sub comes with other benefits, removing ads is the only thing I care about but I'm not paying a monthly fee to do that, no matter how much I like the game itself. Edit: devs misunderstood, the problem isn't that I don't want to spend money, I refuse to pay a monthly fee just to remove ads. Make it a one-time fee -separate- from the sub. |
| 2022-09-22 |  | | This is about the only idle game I can stick with. Lots of layers, plenty of ways to get the different currencies, and it feels like it rewards you for time spent actually playing rather than forgetting about it. To get 5 stars, I would love a single payment to remove ads and pop-ups outside of the subscription. Even if it was more expensive, I'd rather pay $10 now and be done forever then have to remember to stop the subscription when I eventually put it down for a few months |
| 2020-08-17 |  | | Very fair, fun, and great asthetic. Prime example of a good addicting idle clicker. Edit: Did end up deleting after maybe a good two weeks with this game, not due to some major breaking bug or anything scummy from the devs, progress just happened to slow down deep into the game. There definitely needs to be more variation in gameplay if you want to keep casual players interested, I'm not saying to re-invent the wheel, but just adding some pay to win competitive events doesn't work. |
| 2020-07-15 |  | | It's slow to start but fun once it gets moving. I could play this game pretty much all day I kinda was hoping for there to be distinct levels and a bit more of a storyline to it but either way all together I'll give it a 5 star rating. Just for how good the graphics are and how the gameplay picks up once you start evolving and upgrading it really picks up big-time when you start getting more queens and abilities. Overall it's tight needs more storyline to it but it's still time consuming. |
| 2020-06-10 |  | | This game is super fun. I enjoy the lack of many ads, and I even put a little bit of money into this game. I'm playing a 2nd run on an android this time instead of Ipad, and it's still just as fin as it was a couple years ago. But, I would enjoy more crabs. It seems like there isn't anything after Blood Guardian, and I would like to see more queens, so I can progress further. 🦀🦀🦀 |
| 2020-02-24 |  | | Pretty fun. Been playing for over a year now. Edit:year three now. This new edit and now a 4 star review is because of their latest addition of a weekly subscription for bonuses. 3$ a week for no ads plus a few other bonuses. Now I've spent money on this app before. Not much but enough to show I do enjoy the game enough to support. I'd be willing to pay 99¢ to 2-3$ for no ads as a one time purchase. But never will I ever do subscription for it. If I just started playing this I would uninstall. |
| 2019-11-06 | | | The game has suddenly become unplayable. It arbitrarily decided that there is a "newer version" of my save file on the server, and insisted on a reset. After the reset, it gave me the exact same message. I'll leave the 4* rating in place for now, but please fix this problem asap. My internet connection is terrible, btw. That may be relevant. EDIT: Restarting my tablet fixed the issue. |
