How co-op works
Up to four online crabs clear shared combat, parkour, and boss islands while assembling individual weapon, ability, and perk stacks. Each chooses personal chest loot but can drop items for teammates; the squad coordinates debuffs, target focus, and revives as enemies scale with party size.
About this game
Crab Champions is a third-person roguelike shooter built around balletic gunplay and crustacean mayhem. You control a heavily armed crab navigating vibrant, procedurally arranged islands, blasting through waves of enemies while mastering momentum-based movement and upgrading your arsenal after every encounter. The game supports online co-op, turning each run into a team effort.

Gameplay revolves around chaining kills, dodging incoming fire, and choosing perks between arenas to tailor your build. The fluid movement system rewards quick reflexes and spatial awareness, while loot and upgrade variety keeps each run distinct. Playing with others ramps up the chaos and encourages communication as you coordinate positioning and focus-fire priority targets together.
Online co-op lets you team up for full runs, making the escalating difficulty and boss encounters more manageable with coordinated builds. Each session is self-contained, so you and your squad can jump in for a quick 20-minute rampage or chain together longer attempts to push deeper into the island gauntlet.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a typical co-op run take?
A single run can be as quick as 20 minutes, though you can also chain together longer attempts if you're pushing deeper into the island gauntlet. Each session is self-contained, so it's easy to jump in for a quick blast with friends.
Does co-op make the game easier or does it scale up the difficulty?
Playing with others makes the escalating difficulty and boss encounters more manageable through coordinated builds and teamwork, though the game does ramp up the chaos. You'll want to communicate about positioning and which targets to focus fire on together.
