In contrast to the doom and gloom of most Soulslike games, Another Crab's Treasure is a colorful crab-themed, yet ultimately dystopian world. As the hermit crab Kril, players set out on a journey to retrieve his beloved, repossessed shell armed with a fork and various switchable trash-themed shell replacements. Players must battle against all kinds of sea monster bosses and enemies, which look anything but easy from the game footage revealed so far. Consequently, many players may be curious to know what to expect from Another Crab's Treasure's optional boss fights.
