Specifically, your role in this app is to raise up an army of crustaceans to fight back against their evil reptilian conquerors. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Your control of your crab army is very much within your hands, as it is up to you to choose what line of crab warriors they might evolve into. Successful battles lead to collection of rewards as you advance through the game. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, my main complaint about Crab War would have to be some lag time I experienced with the app, both during loading of the app and actual gameplay itself. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While this lag didn&rsquo;t have any serious consequences on my chances of successful gameplay, it did really limit my excitement about the app. The lag was significant enough to tempt me to just not play the game at times, and this problem could definitely negatively affect the appeal of Crab War. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Appearance and Layout<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.theiphoneappreview.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/mombly-review-rating\/images\/star.png\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.theiphoneappreview.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/mombly-review-rating\/images\/star.png\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.theiphoneappreview.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/mombly-review-rating\/images\/star.png\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.theiphoneappreview.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/mombly-review-rating\/images\/star.png\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.theiphoneappreview.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/mombly-review-rating\/images\/emptystar.png\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_78306\" style=\"width: 179px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/goo.gl\/8LioI0\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-78306 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/www.theiphoneappreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/screen322x572-12-169x300.jpeg\" alt=\"Crab War iPhone App Review\" width=\"169\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Crab War iPhone Game<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Crab War boasts of having great graphics for a game of its type, and I&rsquo;d have to say that I agree. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The color scheme of the app is bright and cheery, a fun twist to the battling theme throughout the game. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Characters of evolving crab lines are decently detailed, and it&rsquo;s obvious that the app&rsquo;s designers were intentional in making sure that each crab was unique in its appearance. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I also appreciated the impressive number of crab evolution options you could direct each crab line through. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In-app layout could definitely use some improvement, however, as I felt that the layout was not intuitive. Because of this, getting used to finding your way around the app takes more time than ideal <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Value: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.theiphoneappreview.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/mombly-review-rating\/images\/star.png\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.theiphoneappreview.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/mombly-review-rating\/images\/star.png\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.theiphoneappreview.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/mombly-review-rating\/images\/star.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.theiphoneappreview.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/mombly-review-rating\/images\/star.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.theiphoneappreview.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/mombly-review-rating\/images\/emptystar.png\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Crab War is a free app, with optional in-app purchases.
