CRUST-ACE-EAN

The Soulslike and platformer mix wonderfully in ANOTHER CRAB'S TREASURE

By Abbie Stone

The most fun I've had with a Soulslike since Elden Ring. The less self-serious take on the genre I wanted Lies of P to be.

You're a hermit crab called Krill who's had his shell stolen by a literal loan shark (ho ho). So begins an oceanwide quest to get it back which involves hitting a lot of hostile sea life with a fork.
