A Ship Of Fools Will Save The World From The Aquapocalypse!

Ship of Fools release date
Source: Steam

This news piece on Fika Productions’ Ship of Fools is like telling you that the PS5 is now out. But not everybody has heard about it. I’ve only just got around to reading it, and now share it with you, dear reader whom I love (perhaps even lust about?).

A rogue-like set on the sea (see Trash Sailors for comparisons), this will be a two-player couch co-op where players with duke it out against dangerous sea creatures and mega-goliaths, all the while avoiding the impending Aquapocalypse.

I would be doing a fellow writer some disservice if I did not include the reference to ‘chaotic cannon firefights, ‘oarsome’ swashbuckling’. That’s what you should expect in Ship of Fools, and don’t settle for any less.

Key features include:

  • Frantic nautical combat with another shipmate in co-op or as a solo sailor
  • Colossal leviathans to challenge the hardiest of sailors
  • Chart your route through the maps of the Archipelago and brave the Everlasting Storm
  • Embody one of the unique Fools with special abilities to help you on your journey
  • 100+ trinkets and artifacts to collect and combo for winning strategies
  • Swashbuckling hand-drawn artwork to put the wind in your sails

Take a look at the Ship of Fools trailer below:

It sounds fun and all, but I’m all about local multiplayer, not online, so I was about to give it a miss, but…. you can play the game as a solo sailor, so who needs friends after all?
