Pit army against army in the latest update for Crab War

You are the great crab god – and through supreme shellfish-ness must lead an army of crustaceans to battle against the invading reptiles.

That, as you’ll know if you’ve played Appxplore’s addictive action game Crab War, means you’ll be doing a lot of frantic tapping to unleash wave after wave of crab soldiers at your foes. As you fight, you climb further towards the surface to reclaim the ancient land you’ve lost.

In Crab War you can expend the resources you’re rewarded with during battle on the Evolutionary Tree, evolving your crab swarms into bigger and tougher opponents. Ecdysis gives you powerful mutation types to equip, and there are over 80 crabs and 30 crab queens to line your ranks and make those reptiles quiver in their scales.

The latest update to Crab War adds greater customisation as well as a tournament system to compete with other players. Tournament gameplay involves pitting your army against the reptiles in order to see which player has the most formidable crustaceans. The better you do, the higher your rank on the leaderboard. As a reward for taking a turn in the tournament, you can win plenty of resources including pearls, gems, and genes to spend on your swarms too.

Genes are a new addition - and can unsurprisingly be used in the Gene Tree. The Gene Tree offers greater customisation – you choose the branch you want to take, evolving either your defensive or offensive skills. This in turn improves the rewards gleaned from each fight and so on. You can then test your genes in tournament to become king of the crabs.
