A clever underwater Souls-like where a hermit crab dons seashells with varied powers. The idea is brilliant and the eco-minded tone wry, even if the execution stumbles at times. Original and full of wit.

Another Crab's Treasure (Nintendo Switch) price, value & rarity
An unexpectedly charming underwater Souls-like, this title sends a hermit crab against colossal crustaceans whose patterns demand precise parries and dodges. Swapping shells alters defense and style, opening clever approaches against abyssal giants. Witty writing and a quiet ecological message accompany tense, rewarding fights.
An underrated gem
Behind its goofy-pastiche exterior, this aquatic soulslike hides genuine mastery of the genre, long masked by its improbable hermit-crab pitch. Its parry-based combat is demanding and satisfying, the trash-shells offer unexpected tactical variety, and the ecological satire lands true. A choice discovery for anyone who loves souls difficulty but is tired of medieval gloom.
Is Another Crab's Treasure still worth playing in 2026?
Another Crab's Treasure proves a soulslike can be demanding and deliciously absurd at once. Playing a hermit crab who scoops up human trash for shells, each granting a distinct power, turns a classic defensive mechanic into an inventive playground. The parry-and-dodge combat is solid, the bosses fierce, and the ecological satire lands without preaching. The technical execution is not flawless, with a few hitches, but imagination makes up for it. In a genre crowded with grey imitations, its fresh tone and colorful underwater world make all the difference.
