Aggro Crab, the team behind Another Crab’s Treasure, has lifted the curtain on Crashout Crew, a raucous co-op forklift game that turns warehouse work into full-throttle chaos. The game is in development for Windows PC on Steam. While there’s no release date yet, a playable demo will roll into Steam Next Fest from October 13 through 20. A reveal trailer has been shared to showcase the pandemonium in motion.
Set at DE NILE SHIPPING, productivity is everything and safety is… optional. You and up to three friends clock in as overworked operators tasked with keeping an ever-growing avalanche of orders moving. The twist: this warehouse doubles as a high-speed raceway, complete with forklifts that can boost and drift. Teamwork is essential, collisions are inevitable, and the physics-driven mayhem is the point.
The core loop is simple on paper and wild in practice. Use your forklift’s Easy-Grab system to scoop, stack, and ship a ridiculous assortment of cargo. One minute you’re calmly sorting lemons and anvils, the next you’re delicately maneuvering explosives and, yes, the occasional primate. Expect over 20 box types designed to test your coordination, push the physics to the limit, and leave your crew shouting directions across the floor. Staying organized matters; let the mess spiral and you’ll be swimming in missed quotas—and maybe a few stray chickens.
Orders aren’t the only source of pressure. You’ll need to manage your stress meter to avoid crashing out. Overheat or wipe out and you’ll make life harder for your teammates when they need you most. The warehouse itself fights back too. Optional Safety Violations act like modifiers that crank up the chaos: think lights-out shifts, new hazards, and other rule-bending twists that transform a tough job into a total disaster zone.
Between contracts, you can spend hard-earned cash on forklift parts and helpful gadgets to streamline your next shift. Want tighter handling, better stability, or new tools for organizing the floor? Go for it. Just don’t get too attached—progress resets after each contract, keeping every run fresh and forcing crews to adapt on the fly. And remember, damage and other mishaps can come out of your paycheck, so reckless driving has real consequences.
Key features include:
– Online, lobby-based co-op for up to four players with physics-driven forklift action
– A contract system packed with outlandish orders and more than 20 unique box types
– Stress management that keeps you focused—fail to cope and you’ll “crash out,” burdening your team
– Earn-and-spend upgrades for forklifts and warehouse tools that reset after each contract for replayability
– Optional Safety Violations that remix the warehouse with extra hazards and modifiers, including blackout shifts
Crashout Crew blends high-speed driving, precision stacking, and pure co-op comedy into a warehouse workday you won’t forget. If you’re into chaotic multiplayer games that reward communication, quick reflexes, and a sense of humor, this is one to watch. Try the demo during Steam Next Fest from October 13 to 20 and see if your crew can keep up when the orders—and the forklifts—start flying.
