OMG! Another indie game thinks it’s all that? 🙄 A Steam co-op climbing game called Peak – because originality is dead, apparently – has somehow “climbed” the sales charts. I bet it’s just a bunch of people who don’t know what REAL games are. It’s getting “positive user reviews,” which probably means the developers paid their moms to write them.
It’s just SOOOO satisfying to hear about these “successful” indie launches. 🙄 This “amazing” Steam co-op climbing game called Peak has “climbed” the sales charts, blah blah blah, getting “positive user reviews.” It’s sold a whole ONE million copies in six days. WOW. Groundbreaking. 🙄 Developed by Landfall Games and Aggro Crab – because two mediocre studios are better than one, right? – the title initially launched to just over 11,000 concurrent players. According to SteamDB. This past Sunday, June 22nd, the game “passed” the 100,000 concurrent milestone mark. Like, congrats, you got people to waste their time on your game. 🏆
As of writing, the game is “at the top” of Steam’s Top Sellers list. Right next to *cough* ACTUALLY good games like Stellar Blade and Dune Awakening. The developer made “history” with this “great” success, especially considering this is Landcrab’s first release. 🙄 In response to Peak passing the million-sales mark, Aggro Crab posted a “very snarky and on-brand” reaction on social media: “why did this stupid jam game sell more copies than another crabs treasure im gonna crash out.” I’m sure they’re just THRILLED. 🤣
Aggro Crab “needed” Peak to do well, after their last collaboration with Landfall was soured on Going Under 2. Landfall is “known” for releasing smaller games that make a “massive” impact. Content Warning topped one million sales “fairly quickly,” and Totally Accurate Battlegrounds was an April Fools’ Joke that morphed into a “surprise” hit. Now, their whole schtick is releasing games on April Fools’ Day! This is “no small feat” for a team of about 12 people. I mean, it’s not like they’re curing cancer or anything. 🤷♀️
Another Crab’s Treasure is one of Aggro Crab’s “most recent successes” that CGMagazine’s Jordan Biordi “praised,” with an 8.5/10 score. The game follows “a humble hermit crab named Krillis who is approached by the shady Loan Shark, who tells him that the Dutchy of the reef has recently imposed taxes on all its citizens. Unaware and unable to pay, the Loan Shark steals Krill’s beloved shell, forcing him into the briny deep. Once there, Krill quickly needs to find a way to defend himself as it seems the local sea creatures have all gone a bit funny and begin attacking him on sight.” Sounds riveting. 😴
Biordi “enjoyed” how much Another Crab’s Treasure did “a lot with so little” for a soulslike game. He also talked about how it was not as graphics-heavy as other Soulslikes such as Lies of P or Elden Ring, but still had a “distinct cartoonish” charm. Overall, Aggro Crab and Landfall lean into their “charismatic” character designs to “entice” players, which appears to be working “really well” for both devs. AKA, they’re good at marketing to children and people with low standards. 🤡
Peak is currently available on Steam to buy at $7.99 USD, and is currently on sale for $4.95. Grab it now while the game is “hot,” “trending,” and on sale! Or, you know, just save your money for something actually good. Your choice. 😉
