Another Crab’s Treasure, despite its aesthetics, is a Souls game (among other things). Many Souls games have some sort of multiplayer function, but it’s not a necessary requirement. Here’s everything you need to know about Another Crab’s Treasure multiplayer.
Does Another Crab’s Treasure have multiplayer?
No, Another Crab’s Treasure does not have a multiplayer mode. From start to finish, this is a pure single-player game.
Honestly, after spending so much time with Another Crab’s Treasure, I can’t imagine playing it with another person. The story’s structure, platforming, combat, and other unique gameplay mechanics simply aren’t designed to accommodate another player.
Just like the hermit crab you play as, you’re on your own in this game.
Is there an easy mode in Another Crab’s Treasure?
Yes, there is. Even though you won’t get help from real people, or even summonable NPC companions, you can make Another Crab’s Treasure significantly easier by enabling some of the Assist Mode options.
While the game is meant to be challenging, the developer didn’t want anyone to miss out on Kril’s story, so you can enable the following options to make the game easier:
- Extra shell durability
- Reduce damage taken
- Lower enemy health
- Extra dodge invincibility
- Extra parry window
- Prevent Microplastic loss on death
- Prevent pitfall damage
- Slow down game speed
- Give Kril a Gun
Enabling almost any of these makes the game easier, especially the last option. I highly recommend you try and play the game without any of the above modes, but if you find yourself getting too frustrated, go for it. After all, games should be fun, not stressful.
