Indie developer Alientrap has announced a release date for DuneCrawl, their co-op isometric action adventure game where you ride on the back of massive crabs.

DuneCrawl is set to launch for Windows PC earlier next year, on January 5th via Steam.

Here’s a brief blurb on the game, plus a new trailer:

DuneCrawl is an 1-4 player online+local coop action-adventure game where players take on the roles of desert faring privateers. Together, players explore the dust seas by piloting their Dune Crawler, a gigantic walking crustacean festooned with cannons and treasure maps.

Travel through sprawling, lush, hand drawn environments to unfold the story surrounding the mystery of the Dune Crawlers. Interact with quest-giving NPCs, defend the local towns from bandits, discover hidden plunder, ride armored scarabs and defend your title as the greatest freebooter this side of the seven sands.
