CRABS MUST DIE!
SteamAbout CRABS MUST DIE!
CRABS MUST DIE! — open-world shooter with some RPG vibes and a whole lot of crabs.
Think your favorite sci-fi post-apocalyptic action-RPG — just 100 times smaller. A compact, love-made open-world adventure by one solo dev, with zero budget and lots of passion for the genre.
What You Can Expect
6–7 hours of open-world gameplay — starring crabs, raiders, meat-hungry zombies, and totally deranged robots. Your weapons? A trusty shotgun and a cold bottle of beer.
•
🦀 Variety of EnemiesEveryone wants you dead, so shoot first. Some charge straight at you, others shoot from a distance, and some just explode right under your feet. You’ll figure it out.
•
🏜️ Some Kind of Open WorldThere’s places. Some of them aren’t full of crabs. You can explore if you feel like it. Ride your half-broken bike or just walk.There are a few quests, a bit of story, some odd radio tunes (including classical and oldies), and plenty of junk to loot and turn into ammo.
•
🔫 Perks, Guns, Stats.Pick from pistols, assault rifles, shotguns, carbines — maybe even a katana, if you're feeling fancy. Unlock perks, tweak your stats, and hunt down legendary weapon crates. Go melee, try stealth (not recommended, but technically possible), or just shoot everything that moves.You also get active abilities — like summoning a robot buddy who’s almost helpful (on a good day).
Made with the <i>GLORIOUS</i> Unreal Engine 5
Built using the finest game engine known to humanity — Unreal Engine 5. Thanks to Lumen lighting and some black magic, even a solo noob like me managed to make things look surprisingly decent. And yeah — it actually runs pretty well.
