Xbox Game Pass

Hey everyone, get ready to fire up your consoles because Xbox Game Pass Standard just got a whole lot more exciting! Three awesome new games have landed today, and trust me, there’s something for everyone in this batch. We’re talking about diving into the depths with a feisty crab, exploring a massive world with over a hundred heroes, and journeying through the stars in an epic sci-fi adventure. Let’s jump right into it, shall we?

Another Crab’s Treasure: A Soulslike Adventure

First up, we have Another Crab’s Treasure, a game that’s turning the Soulslike genre on its head – or maybe on its shell? This isn’t your typical dark fantasy adventure; it’s an underwater quest where you play as Kril, a hermit crab on a mission to retrieve his stolen shell. But this isn’t just any shell; it’s his home, and he needs it back! The world he lives in is being threatened by a strange substance known as the Gunk, and it’s up to you to help him fight back.

What’s super cool about Another Crab’s Treasure is the unique way you gear up. Forget fancy armor, Kril uses trash as makeshift armor. It’s a fun and creative twist that keeps the gameplay fresh and engaging. Expect challenging gameplay, as this is a Soulslike after all, but the underwater setting and unique mechanics will keep you hooked.

You and your companions will need to rise to the occasion to save the day!

One of the standout features of Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is the sheer number of characters you’ll encounter – over 100!
