The new title Another Crab's Treasure has surpassed 150k in sales across all platforms. This was announced the first week after its launch. Here's a message from the team about this latest milestone (via Steam):

"We've hit over 150,000 sales across all platforms, and the critical response has been fantastic. We've seen people laugh, cry, throw their controllers - absolutely everything we dreamed of when creating this game. We've seen reviewers and streamers who place us among the likes of massive genre entries like Lies of P, or even Sekiro - which is unbelievable praise for a team of our size. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for making this launch a true treasure."

Our Switch review of Another Crab's Treasure is now also live here on Nintendo Life and while it's got some performance issues at launch, some patches could potentially sort them out.

If you've been enjoying Another Crab's Treasure since its arrival on the Nintendo Switch last week, you're probably not alone. In just under 4 days, this soulslike adventure has already sold over 100k copies across all platforms.

"From the bottom of our little hearts, thank you for the best game launch we've ever had. 100k in under 4 days! Aggro Crab no longer slept on?? new era?!?!"

The game has also got off to a great start on Steam, with a "very positive" user reception so far.

In a Reddit 'Ask Me Anything' last week, the developer Aggro Crab spoke a little about the game's performance on the Switch compared to other platforms:

"Like most 3D games of this scale, the Switch version is locked to 30 FPS and has graphics downgrades compared to other platforms. It's just the reality of the hardware we're working with.

"Honestly, if you're looking for the best performance you're better off elsewhere, but its still decent on Switch and we still have plans to bring the Switch version closer to parity in future updates."

In the same thread, the team also noted how the game was the perfect fit for Nintendo's hybrid system:

"Just by looking at our game, it's pretty clear it's at home on a Nintendo console. You could even say this is a Nintendo-ified Souls game."
