Best optimized game I have played in a long time surprisingly. I have a rocket launcher in endless mode with an rpm well north of 600 that shoots ~30 projectiles that spawn even more on impact with no frame drops. I also had double enemy spawns that run. Optimization is something the gaming industry constantly ignores but this game is a golden standard, for my hardware at least.

Not only is the game fun and the mechanics crisp, it's also highly educational. For example, I never knew that the crab's natural predator is the giant flaming skull.

At its core, Crab Champions is a roguelike movement shooter - a bit of a mash-up between the item building of Risk of Rain and the core gameplay and movement of Ultrakill or Doom Eternal, though lighter versions of both. It's accessible and fun at its lower difficulties, and a fair and enjoyable challenge at its higher difficulties. Crab Champions exemplifies the concept of "early access indie game" more than any other game I've played, as it is in active development and is only developed by one dude. The game is clearly playable - I'm sitting at 950+ hours as of writing - but content is still being developed, and certain gameplay concepts are still finding their identity. There are occasional bugs, jank, and things that may feel unbalanced. The developer is extremely active with feedback, and much of where the game is can be tied to direct influence from the community. All of this sums up to be a very charming and special experience that you can't find in many other games nowadays. Not everyone will find 900+ hours out of Crab Champions. There is an initial "unlock" phase early on where you unlock weapons and items that can be used in runs, and that phase goes by quickly. The primary end game loop revolves around beating the "hardest" difficulty on each weapon, which then gives you a medal rank for that weapon (e.g. Silver, Gold, Diamond, etc.). The end game loop is effectively finished once you have gotten the highest medal, Diamond, for every weapon. Afterwards, there is a secret "actual hardest" difficulty, though this isn't for everyone for a variety of reasons. After that point, the game is what you make of it. For $15, most players will have a good time, maybe take a crack at getting all Diamonds and achievements, and then set it down to wait for the next major update. Maybe a fair 20-40 hours of gameplay. Those players will have a pretty good time and probably get their money's worth. For the players that hunger for the buildcrafting of Risk of Rain and the movement and chaos of Doom, and never expected to find the two mashed together into a game where you play as a crab with a gun killing other crabs to funky tropical beats, this is likely to net you hundreds and hundreds of hours. Perhaps you can even be The Crab Champion, but you'll have to beat me to it.
