What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Abilities, weapons, and upgrades are very satisfying to use along with the game being incredibly well optimized. 100% reccommend it.
The gameplay loop is just so compelling.
Of course, for those looking to enjoy Crab Champions on a more casual basis or simply to mess around with, there also exists green modifiers that reduce the difficulty level which can prove quite beneficial for chasing certain achievements on this game, though largely it serves as a way of easing newer players into the intense rougelike action without scaring them off too quickly as it is a big bonus to be able to play this on multiplayer with friends for even more fun and shenanigans!
One last thing I'll touch upon here is the graphics as the bright and colourful artstyle of Crab Champions is quite pleasing to the eye without looking oversaturated or too bright to the point of becoming an eyesore, matching the equally-whimsical premise of sentient crustaceans duking it out on islands with modern guns and magical spells.
p.s. need that soundtrack release please please please
I had to turn my graphics settings down so I didn't crash from using abilities, and the game runs at 165 fps EASILY earlier in runs.

Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. One more theme was raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and is not shown.
