Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Crab Raid Tactics is a unique combination of genres, and making it right will require iterations. I want to stay in touch with the community to see how new ideas and features resonate with players.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The plan is to release the game in less than a year. This is a reasonable time frame for the planned scope, but since the development speed depends on a single person with no permanent place to stay - delays might occur.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“Features that are currently planned for the full game:
  • Elemental Reactions System (DONE)
  • More Boss fights with unique mechanics and attack patterns
  • Permanent upgrades between the runs & upgrade currency - Pearls (1st Iteration done)
  • Trader encounter and raid currency - Seashells
  • Improved Difficulty customization - adding hardships to get more rewards
  • Powerful abilities that can be triggered manually once in a while
  • Tutorial that would explain game basics to new players

There are also plans for additional arenas, arena events, bosses, enemies, abilities & crabs”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is in a playable state with minimal content. Some crucial features have not been implemented yet, but the core of the game is close to being complete. That, of course, will depend on the feedback collected during playtests.

Content that is currently available:
  • 7 Crabs to choose from
  • 5 active abilities
  • 9 passive upgrades
  • 3 areas, each with 2 arenas.
  • Arena Events system - random situations that arise during the fight. Some are tied to certain Areas, some can be unlocked through progression. 4 implemented so far
  • 3 types of enemies - melee, ranged and support
  • A single boss encounter
  • Tanking mechanics & enemy AI - enemies track which target is the most threatening
  • Linear difficulty scaling with each level
  • Endless Raid mode (continue the raid after beating a boss for an increased challenge)

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The price may increase gradually during early access stage as more content and features are added.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“There is a free Demo available. It will update regularly and include pieces of content I need playtested. I am happy to receive any feedback on Discord, Steam forums or through the form linked in the game's main menu.
The Discord server is up and running, waiting for new Raid Leaders to join in”

About This Game





Mighty Crustacean heroes are embarking on a raid to pillage the coast for all things shiny. Driven by Greed, they are easily carried away and can be outsmarted by their foes. That's why they need you to be their strategist, help them navigate tricky combat situations and overwhelm their enemies!

Position your heroes carefully and guide them through increasingly hostile environments, while they witlessly deliver a beating to anything that gets close!


Choose between tons of upgrades that turn your crabs into powerful specialized combat units: whether you need a sturdy tank to hold the line, a cunning healer to mend your squad's wounds, a mighty fighter to beat things hard, or a bizarre hybrid capable of everything! Each new level offers you to further customize your crabs and every victory rewards you with artifacts from the days of old.

It's up to you to experiment and find game-breaking combinations - Crabs would trust your judgment!



Elusive Elemental Spirits are watching tirelessly over the coast, each having their own domain - from the Ocean depths to the searing Sun in the sky. Greed is also one of them, driving all living beings - including your brave squad! - to hoard shiny treasure.
Elements favor the bold, and are willing to help your cause. Attune your crustacean heroes to wield their power and gain the upper hand against your foes!




The Elements are strong each on their own, but, as your squad, they are stronger together! Attuning your Crabs to different Elements gives you access to powerful Elemental Reactions, that diversify your arsenal even further and let you choose your own combat style!
