Another Crab’s Treasure, the undersea soulslike that debuted in April 2024, has been updated with a dedicated Nintendo Switch 2 Edition and is now live on the Nintendo eShop.
The new build is listed with targeted performance improvements, a native 1080p resolution on the new hardware, and a temporary reduced price of $11.99 (regularly $30).
Owners of the original Switch release receive the Switch 2 Edition as a free upgrade.
According to the eShop listing, the Switch 2 Edition focuses on smoothing performance across both handheld and docked play.
The publisher states the update delivers a markedly better frame rate in both modes and confirms an increase to 1080p resolution on the newer hardware.
The listing further notes that load times and stutters previously reported by players have been significantly reduced in known problem areas.
Gameplay and design
Another Crab’s Treasure puts players in the shell of Kril, a hermit crab who fashions the detritus of a polluted ocean into armor and weaponry.
The core loop tasks Kril with reclaiming his repossessed shell while uncovering the darker forces behind widespread pollution and an affliction called the Gunk.
Combat takes inspiration from soulslike design, but the game is explicitly tuned to be approachable: assist options are available for players seeking a less punishing experience, while the default settings retain challenge for veterans.
Signature features listed in the original release and reiterated for the Switch 2 Edition include over 60 different shells with unique abilities, a bestiary of oceanic foes, and a suite of Umami Techniques—special attacks learned from creatures across the world such as the mantis shrimp and the Bobbit worm.
Environments range from kelp forests and coral reefs to deep-sea trenches, with exploration and discovery central to progression.
