Everything is Crab review

Everything is Crab, an action roguelike developed by Odd Dreams Digital and published by Secret Mode, launched on May 8, 2026. Priced at $9 USD (£7 GBP), the game draws inspiration from Spore’s creature phase and offers a distinctive entry in an increasingly saturated roguelike market.

The roguelike genre has become dominated by iterative titles that build upon established formulas popularized by games like Slay the Spire, Hades, and Vampire Survivors. According to PC Gamer’s review, Everything is Crab differentiates itself from these conventional approaches, delivering a genuinely unique experience. The game’s creature-building mechanics, inspired by Spore’s creature customization system, provide a foundation distinct from the deck-building and action-focused roguelikes that currently dominate the genre.

The game has received Steam Deck verification and is available on PC. The review was conducted on hardware featuring an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 GPU, AMD Ryzen 9 5900X processor, and 32GB of RAM. With its affordable price point and cross-platform availability, Everything is Crab enters the market as a fresh roguelike experience during a period of genre saturation.
