Command a Cute Crabling Colony & Save our Oceans in Crab God!

The tactical-yet-wholesome strategy game releases today on Steam!

20 June 2024 - Feeling crabby? Well, get those pincers prepared to explore the ocean depths in Crab God as it scuttles onto Steam today with a 10% launch discount. Become the guardian of a growing colony of Crablings as you help to bring forth the next almighty Crab God in this side-scuttling strategy game. Your actions in-game will have an impact on real-life oceans as you aid your Crablings through an increasingly challenging migration.

Crab God has been making waves in the media as it scuttled its way to Wholesome DirectGames For Waves and IGN Live!

Inspired by the Kingdom series, Crab God puts you in charge of cute Crablings who look to you as their new God. Can you successfully nurture them into the next generation of capable ocean caretakers? This tactical-yet-wholesome indie strategy game will task you with growing your colony and safely guiding them across the dangerous depths of the ocean. You’ll reintroduce a healthy and vibrant diversity to the ocean by assigning your Crablings to tasks such as foraging, farming, and of course, worshiping. Life for Crablings isn’t always this simple - with other sea life attacking and dangers preventing your progress, you’ll have to defend the egg of your successor to ensure the colony lives on.

Players won’t just be safeguarding their virtual crab-itat. Thanks to an integration with dots.eco, players’ in-game antics will directly aid in cleaning our oceans and protecting aquatic life. You’ll be making a splash for sustainability and safeguarding the sanctity of our seas. 

Crab God will be featured in two exciting bundles, and players can show their support for the game through a supporter edition:
  • Claw-some Adventures Bundle: 
    • Another Crab's Treasure & Crab God (10% discount - complete the set bundle)
  • Lush Ecosystems Builder Bundle:

  • Supporter edition that includes:
