THIS GAME WANTS TO BE BROKEN - Crab Champions Is A Perfectly Balanced Game with no Exploits or Bugs

oh no video game developers you don't

want me doing this you really don't

hello there ladies and gentlemen this is

crab Champions a video game created by

the Irish DJ who made the song crab Rave

in this game you are a crab who must

fight waves of enemies and bosses on a

quest to become more powerful it might

seem simple and standard but this is one

of the greatest games I've ever played

for one simple reason the developer

wants you to break the game as you might

know I the spiffing Brit break video

games for a living it is rare a

developer is actively encouraging you to

exploit their systems and destroy the

balance of the game so what happens when

exploiters and developers work hand

inand well you're about to find out so

let's hop on into the first level and

I'll quickly explain the game very

simply I am a crab with a gun and there

are other crabs and slugs running

towards me killing them will drop purple

crystals I can use these purple crystals

in shops to buy upgrades every time I

clear an island a chest will appear and

I can get an upgrade from the chest it's

basically like vampire survivors if it

was actually really really really good

and fun well okay you know that game is

good and fun but there's just something

wonderful about crab Champions similar

to risk of rain 2 this game is not

afraid to let the player become an

Unstoppable overpowered God and that's

exactly what we're going to do so there

we go first island cleared very easy

enemies of course and we get ourselves a

damag chest in it we can pick up various

upgrades like say trick shot so we do

more more damage when hip firing and

less when aiming big shot so our shots

are bigger and deal more damage but they

move slower or snake shot where you know

your shots aren't going to hit anything

uh we're going to go for trick shot

because like most YouTubers playing an

FPS game there is absolutely no way I'm

going to be able to aim we then get a

choice of which level to go to next we

can either go for a damag chest in an

arena or a spike chest a spike chest of

course has a higher value reward but I

lose 33% of my health this might sound

dangerous but don't worry this entire

game is basically just all about risk

and reward W I'm also deliberately

playing with a weapon called the orb

launcher a stupidly fast firing weapon

that does a very nice amount of damage

so yes there we go the island is cleared

and our lovely Spike chest appears only

cost me 132 life but we can pick up some

upgrades this one here is very useful it

basically means for a short time after

eliminating an enemy we don't use

ammunition it doesn't directly increase

our damage but it increases our output

and I like that right next up we're

going to go for a speed upgrade out

actually just walked into an explosive

Barrel that's kind of on me oh and also

there is a way you can technically

cheese this game a little bit which is

that when you unlock things in the lobby

using keys you can take them into your

run provided it's the first time you've

unlocked them in my case that means I've

entered this run with landmine shot

which is a legendary ability which as

you can imagine is going to make this

run a fair bit easier but I'm going to

pick up Rapid Fire for increased fire

rate and then oh I love the luck chest

but I also love The Relic chests these

are both two good choices fine we're

going to go go for the Relic chest okay

so quite simply we have uh some enemies

heading towards us and we have to

survive for 36 or so seconds uh which

can be quite spicy indeed oh my goodness

there sniper crabs sniper crabs are the

worst sniper crabs are very very

dangerous there we go we can clear them

up a bit and I survived the hoorde

wonderful jeez we're down to 82 life but

it's okay oh we can pick up a hard

target that reduces incoming damage and

a relic chest chests contain free more

loot choices that's kind of incredible

or dashing reloads your weapon also very

good I'm going to go for the coral

amulet now of course because I'm killing

things quite reliably I basically never

need to worry about ammunition for a

little while basically means I don't

have to necessarily worry about

reloading my gun which massively

improves my DPS output and oh my

goodness there's a lot of pumpkins jeez

all right but there we go level cleared

we get a random upgrade of some kind

jeez we have a lot of choices now I'm

fantastic we can go for windup meaning

that shots deal more damage for each

shot fired until I stop firing but as I

am unlikely to reload I am unlikely to

stop firing right okay now we just keep

on shooting and there we go we're doing

20 damage a shot now which is vastly

improved over where we previously were

there we go fantastic we managed to

survive four and we get ourselves an

epic chest with a superior upgrade

option right and now that we've cleared

out enough levels we actually get to go

into the shop the shop is a wonderful

place for rest fite and also just

general gameplay cheesing the shop is

run by this lovely crab here Tony in

Tony's shop we can buy various

improvements and up UPG grades we can

increase our maximum HP and if we have

more crystals we can roll for more items

it's all very nice but after Tony shop

we must face an elite this is a

high-powered enemy in our case it is an

elite lightning crab pretty spicy indeed

because if he hits us we would not be

doing too good unfortunately for him I

shoot very quickly and he is very easily

killed all right we get ourselves

another epic chest what is this double

tap chance for shots to deal damage

twice I like that yeah we're going to go

for that that's Madness right into the

next biome we we go we're now into the

ice World which means we get some new

enemies all of the enemies get more

powerful and we get some new

environments to fight them all in uh but

most importantly I'm doing more damage

so life is good and now yes instead of

just doing a basic six or so damage per

shot we're up to doing about 30 which is

a very nice a good Improvement and oh my

look at these relics gain an extra

portal Choice after each island is

amazing skill ring is amazing ring of

value is incredible and duplication ring

is also great all of these relics are

amazing my good that's right let's grab

the portal ring more choices more good

right okay we're going to go for the

luck chest this is a splendid idea trust

me uh luck in this game is basically

just a way to manipulate the RNG and if

you know one thing about survival like

games it's that cheesing the RNG is

always the most shf fired way to destroy

any semblance of balance now this is the

item I've been looking for the lucky

charm luck is increased after flawlessly

clearing an island and luck based mods

are more likely to trigger basically the

more flawlessly we play this game the

better we get get which as you can

imagine can get pretty cheesy because it

just continuously reinforces endlessly

doing well time for a section I like to

call science with spiff we've just

picked up an item called the lucky charm

it's an item that increases our luck

stat by 5% each time we clear an island

without taking damage this does not add

5% luck as that would be balanced and

normal instead it increases your current

luck statistic by 5% this means with

four Lucky Charms you more than double

your luck stat every five Islands as you

can imagine this gets very broken very

quickly just like this video in the

algorithm if you give it a like go on do

it I believe in you right anyway we can

now go into the shop once again this

time with a little bit more money than

last time and uh the shop has been

improved quite drastically with far more

options but these options can get pretty

cheesy because as you can see this perk

here has a 75% discount meaning I only

need 290 crystals to buy it but as I

said this game wants to be broken so I

can pick up the speed demon park for 290

drop it on the ground and sell it for

581 this ladies and gentlemen is

capitalism four crystals to roll I'll do

that because when we roll we get one

thing that yes has a 75% discount so we

can buy that drop it on the ground and

sell it and make money okay right I'm

pretty happy with the upgrades I've

gotten so into the elite fight we go

where we must fight some kind of uh

spooky big crab oh my goodness it's a

mad poison crab from the looks it okay

no it's an lightning crab and the oh the

worst kind of crab but luckily I'm able

to do a good amount of damage to it so

um it should be dead relatively soon

there yes perfect all right into the

next biome we go we're now into the

deserty sand biome fun and spicy full of

slugs and fire ants and just generally

big mean enemies that just want to do

fire damage to you which is not the kind

of damage I like oh my lucky charm

increased my luck by 5% yes that's

really good Cy Vortex what grenades

explode into C vortexes is that's kind

of crazy do I grab that I mean I kind of

have to I really have to just because I

could sell it for so much money let's go

get a luck chest hello there Mr slug now

the problem with my luck stat is the

more that it increases anything that I

have that has an odd of firing for

example my landmines is going to get

increased now eventually this will lead

us into a situation where every time a

bullet of mine hits an enemy a land mine

will just be summoned out of th air on

top of them um which as you can imagine

pretty bad especially when I'm shooting

as fast as I am and my luck has just

been increased by a further 5% so my

luck stat is up to 165% very nice uh

what do we do next I think we go to an

economy chest why not oh my goodness

look at all of the landmines we are

dropping yes oh this is brilliant you

don't even need to worry about crowd

control or AOE we have landmines and my

luck has just been increased by 10%

because of that love amazing we're going

to go for another luck chest Island but

this one is flawless meaning if I take

no damage I will get a second reward

chest come on come on come on there we

go go just dodge and move Dodge and move

1 second left and we did it w luck

increase by 10% and two economy chests

life is good oh wait no we just got free

luck chest okay right um no we're going

to go for another lucky charm as it

seems horrifically broken chance to get

an extra chest when flawlessly clearing

an island well that's probably good yeah

let's go for a chance to get an extra

chest and then ooh a Flawless Relic

chest potentially we got to go destroy

all of the enemy nests okay right I see

this is the enemy Nest all right I did

it unfortunately I did take some damage

so this is not going to be Flawless but

there we go we cleared the island one

Relic chest for us oh there's a purple

Relic ah yes gain low gravity movement

this is quite possibly the most

overpowered Relic in the game currently

this is simply because now that I

moveing low gravity uh the enemy AI

hasn't been updated to actually deal

with that uh meaning that uh it is very

hard for them to hit me which as you can

imagine pretty useful indeed for me

there we go we cleared the island lovely

and we did it even flawlessly Splendid

my luck is increased by 15% okay double

economy chest time what do we get all

right I'm actually just going to grab

24,000 crystals uh for when we go into

the shop that's going to be good all

right so we're in Tony's magical Giga

shop uh we're once again money shot ooh

gain crystals when damaging enemies I'll

actually buy that uh normally I'd sell

it but why not I'll keep it and then

we're basically just looking for any

luck based trigger like say streamer

loot is great ah double vision here we

go chance to get an extra chest after

clearing an island of course the more

our luck stats the better this is going

to get Crystal dividends yes that just

increases our money every time we clear

an island and then I'll sell this High

Caliber for some additional cash roll

again another lucky charmal we're going

to buy that but I need to buy another

lucky charm there we go I think we

should be good for some combat against

the enemies now in terms of my DPS

output it's pretty good at the moment

we're up to about 2,000 this is very low

for the standard of this game I have to

kill this Elite lightning crab

unfortunately for my Elite lightning

crab friend uh I should be able to very

easily defeat them yes and there we go

oh my crystal dividend have given me an

extra 338 and have I spawned some

additional chests is there a chest in

the floor would seem that way right I'm

going to pick up another double vision

there we go so we've increased chance of

getting a bonus chest and then oh I can

just pick it up again why not right okay

we're now into the final environmental

Zone the lava land so to speak it's

pretty good the enemies here are

normally a little bit more dangerous

unfortunately for them uh I never stop

shooting the more I shoot the faster I

shoot and I now shoot out landmines

various Dag ooh an ant actually did

manage to hit me with a shot how very

annoying despite my lovely low gravity

Shenanigans where I can quite literally

almost fly around this map um which as

you can imagine pretty useful and double

vision has given me a second chest

lovely uh shot steal more damage why not

all right and then I'm going to go for

another luck based chest because it's

just simply the most powerful thing in

the universe right let us uh clear all

of the enemies that are in front of us

on my lucky charm has increased by 20%

and double vision is giv me an extra

chest so I have three chests to pick

from oh this is going to get very silly

right uh ring of luck luck just

increased by 75% yep we'll do that luck

isn't up to 500% rare treasure enemies

have a small chance to drop loot when

eliminated well I mean come on you know

that's just going to get horrifically

abused we have a 1% chance for an enemy

to drop loot when eliminating them but

of course all of our other luck

statistics actually increase that chance

of firing so uh this is only going to

get worse there we go double vision gave

me another extra chest now the problem

is the enemies just can't hit me up here

I'm I'm just kind of like a bit beyond

their reach which it's unfortunate for

them because I can kind of operate like

the US Military and just drone strike

from afar ah very cheesy indeed oh my

goodness and of course our lucky charm

has increased our luck again double

vision gave us some extra loot gold dice

luck heavily increased oh dear this is

going to get very silly now of course

we'll get the golden dice this increases

my luck by further 150% right my luck is

now up to

871 we'll grab all of these wonderful

Legendary perks because they're

fantastic right let's go try and NAB

this Relic chest and do it flawlessly

cuz then we might get two relics okay

damage output very much improved over

where it previously was ah and you're

The Last Enemy brilliant we get a bunch

of extra money and oh of course we get

two additional Relic chests thanks to

the Double Vision we're going to pick up

ring of protection cuz in the very least

we can sell it for a lot of money but

the other thing I'm going to grab is the

ring of deflection and I'm even going to

drop the Ring of luck because I don't

actually think we need it anymore simply

due to the fact that we're generating so

much luck on our own all right there we

go we've done fantastic all right into

the health room we go uh we've got a

rush now so we got to survive a hord of

enemies for quite a while but I think we

should be okay with this uh it's mostly

the don't do damage thing that I'm

trying to worry about but look at all of

these items that are hordes of enemies

are dropping for us this is oh God this

has gotten too broken this is too broken

oh no no no this game is not going to go

well at all I think we could be on for

what could only be described as a highly

ridiculous God run and there we go we

flawlessly cleared it so we get a bunch

of extra chests we get four chests to

choose from at all of these items all

right let's pick up this health chest

what do we got going to get more max

Health from hearts and if I just pick a

bunch of Hearts I'm just going to get a

huge amount of additional Max HP and

then final Health chest what do we got

right Gold Heart lovely okay now I guess

I just have to press L and loot

everything on off of the floor my

goodness this is going to get very messy

well now my gun does something else but

into the shop we go oh my goodness I've

got

200,000 money to spend now this is quite

a lot more than previously thought

what's my DPS up to okay we're up to

about 30,000 very nice all right so we

are better and stronger than ever before

but now is the time we fight the boss we

must defeat the boss to become a

champion that's right this is what the

entire game has been building to can we

defeat King skull I'm just going to

Simply hold on down and oh my goodness

yes we can we spawned so many landmines

oh we smashed that we absolutely smashed

that all right so there we go glorious

success we've beaten the boss but we

must now loot back to the first SP with

new harder enemies these enemies are

pretty spicy indeed unfortunately for

them I am now even more spicy than

previously before and every time I one

hit an enemy I gain maximum health which

basically means yes life is good and oh

I get some additional chests don't I

poison debth I would not a grab that we

got a damage chest here it's all full of

legendaries because my luck is so high

chots that hit enemies have a chance of

small clusters of bombs oh why not we're

just going to become the most messy

build imaginable yeah we are quite

terrifying indeed every time we oneshot

five enemies by the way our damage goes

up by 1% which basically just means the

more we kill efficiently the more damage

we do and uh that gets very silly very

swiftly oh my goodness we are just a

machine of damage okay this is fine uh

our damage output now a fair bit better

and it's only going to get better oh my

goodness all of the Assassin triggers

we're getting this is bad this is very

bad for the sanctity and balance of this

game look at all of the loot that's

spawning in there as well oh no video

game developers you don't want me doing

this you really don't jeez okay we did

it that's a lot of nonsense in front of

me this is genuinely ridiculous okay

fantastic we got all of this stuff on

the ground I guess I just press L and

pick it all up Max Health has increased

a lot and we now have 2.9 Million in the

bank yeah this game is getting

absolutely destroyed currently but hey

we can hit up the shop wonderful and oh

yes get some increased Max Health from

this I've improved the fire rate of our

weapon it now kind of fires like this

terrifying machine gun of so many visual

status effects it's a mess right we're

going to try and check our DPS right now

so uh I'm just going to aim for the

targeting dummy and yep we're doing DPS

of about 10 million there so it go over

to about 13 million briefly okay no it's

actually going above 20 million right

the more I just hold down the higher it

goes what a mess what an absolute mess

right let's go see if we can defeat this

boss um it's an elite which means we

have to face off against two of them and

they just both die instantly oh no oh

look at how many chests we get as well

yep okay right this is bad right okay

I've managed to pick up a second rare

treasure which means enemies have a 2%

chance to drop Lo when eliminated but

this is multiplied by our Lux statistic

so this is going to get very silly very

quickly right into the next biome we go

uh it's a for us bi biome we like the

frost biome let's get a speed chest um

in the arena what do we got we got a

bunch of krabbies all of them are having

a grand old time oh there's a skull for

a moment briefly jeez that screen is

just a mess oh my goodness we're in such

an insane state right now with just how

much money and resources we have access

to uh let's go get an economy chest why

not jeez what a mess okay and the

problem is my damage is just increasing

at a stupid degree yeah I get a 3%

increase in damage every time I get five

onot eliminations and as my damage is

increasing so quickly basically every

kill is a One-Shot elimination so the

snowball is rolling oh my okay so our

assassin ability now increases our

damage by 5% every time we one hit uh

five enemies uh which as you can imagine

is incredible it basically means every

enemy we encounter increases our damage

by 1% because every enemy one shoted is

worth 1% and then of course they will

drop loot when they die because my luck

statistic is so high that this is just

happening and my Lu statistic goes

higher and higher because I'm defeating

waves flawlessly because I can one hit

everything and I just fly around like

some kind of crazed crab God this is

truly brilliant I am loving this what a

mess oh this is so silly right okay and

uh there's so much loot on the ground

I'm just going to press L and pick it

all up that loot alone was worth

millions uh do we go luck chest yeah why

not let's go luck chest we get an extra

bonus if we go flawlessly here which we

might do honestly it doesn't really

matter anymore I'm not sure if I can

take damage because there's like a

percentage chance that I don't take

damage oh we just cleared it wow that's

that's Madness into the shop we go with

26 million in the back oh God all right

I've pretty much cleared out the shop

for everything it possibly has and uh my

DPS is now up to 100 million so let's go

give this Elite enemy a try uh who are

we facing off against today uh oh it's a

crab it's a dead crab and uh because of

my luck we get some additional loot

chests oh my goodness this is messy oh

dear okay my luck stat is so high

basically the chests are only dropping

legendaries now which is good for me bad

for everyone else right into the next

biome we go it's the sand Arena uh where

yes every time a crab dies they drop

loot what glorious balance oh my

goodness we're up to 56 million in the

bank we go for a luck chest yeah why not

defeat all the enemies of the Arena jeez

that's just so much loot everywhere this

is ridiculous I don't even have to aim

wow wow wow wow wow Flawless as well so

of course I get an extra chest what do

we want to try elite elite or waves

let's do waves let's see if we can

defeat these waves um there's a bunch of

enemies down there we will do our best

to uh defeat them oh there's a skull

you're dead and another one and you're

also dead amazing right there we go

we've done a good job clearing the

island uh so I'm just going to press L

and auto loot again bam there we go oh

we could go for this island it does give

critical chests which I think are pretty

much useless for our build but triple

the normal amount of enemies will spawn

and that just basically means there's

triple the normal amount of enemies for

us to kill so uh let's give this a try

hello there my friends what is visually

going on I must say triple the normal

amount of enemies haven't really seen

any of them that's more because I can't

particularly see at the moment visually

I might need to change something with

this build all right I guess into the

elite uh we go who is the elite today

it's a crab uh he's looking good uh he

is unfortunately dead luckily there is a

second crab right let me just try and

hit it with one shot I guess so that's

one click um and it missed right another

click that was one hit and it did just

kill it with one click wow and we got

all of these additional chests to loot

wonderful right one quad key about you

Mr Epic chest oh we're just going to go

completely silly and stack the rare

treasure modifier aren't we I think I do

actually want to see if I can take

damage so let me take some damage so I'm

going to stand in here and this would

normally damage me fact these enemies

should normally damage me ah right we've

encountered a minor problem I am now

Immortal oh God I can no longer take

damage oh this is a perfect run welcome

back to everyone's favorite section

science with spiff earlier I explained

we're gaining luck at a gamebreaking

pace but why is that an issue well luck

is a statistic that increases the odds

of all favorable things firing this

includes the Relic that gives us a small

percentage chance of not taking damage

the combination of these two things

means that it is now scientifically

impossible for me to take damage as I

have a 48% chance of avoiding it at all

times now that's balanced okay these

enemies explode in apparently Elemental

explosions which is dangerous however

I'm not seeing any of it because I think

they're all dying before they can reach
