![]() The colour of the crab is also selectable, and I chose a blue-grey for a shadowy, intimidating appearance. These are upgradable by spending the same points, and this lets the player develop their very own crab warrior. The player’s crab also levels up over the course of the campaign, with individual strength, resistance, endurance, dexterity, and agility stats. Each of these are rated on area, weight, reach, sharpness, and swing for example, the shotel has a greater reach than a crowbar, but both have equal swing, and the crowbar is a little heavier. Weapons are on offer too, from the no-nonsense crowbar to the elegant shotel. These crabs are unlocked through completing various stages, and are purchasable with winnings earned from the fights. I chose the Christmas Red Crab, who is a solid all-rounder, but tough to knock over due to its weight. There are a range of crabs to play as, from the Long Arm Crab, to the Calappa, to the Dungeness Crab, who are rated differently depending on their area, weight, reach, acceleration, speed, turning stats. The types of gladiator in Fight Crab have their own strengths and weaknesses, just like their ancient counterparts. I am certain that the audiences of Fight Crab’s fights will enjoy the destruction and calamity, but when you’re there, scuttling over forks and tablecloths, the setting melts away in the haze of war. The stages are a spectacle, and sometimes nonsensical, like the misty street alleys of the ninja. This display of aggression and panache is Fight Crab’s calling card. I really liked this one, because the creatures would drop into the ring by jumping down from the chandelier, and the final boss crab clattered clumsily down the steps from the throne. There is the medieval banquet hall, which, as the crabs clash, is destroyed-swords littering the stones. There is the humble (yet classic) rock pool, where the crabs clamber over uneven terrain to get the upper claw. Your chosen crab seeks glory in the campaign mode, and, in order to prove they’re not soft-shelled, they will come to blows in a variety of stages. The combat is a spectacle, and one that may even rival the battles enacted thousands of years ago in the Coliseum. Yet, like the gladiators of the Roman Empire, this is not some inconsequential spat. It involves being dropped into a ring, as one of numerous species of decapod crustaceans of the infraorder Brachyura, and smacking the living daylights out of the other… crabs. ![]()
