About

FISH FEAR ME is a top-down Vampire Survivors-style roguelite where you fish up your enemies to fight, defeat, and sell them! Catch fish, uncover secrets, and hunt bounties to earn cash and forbidden knowledge, and use those resources to upgrade your boat, unlock new weapons and tools, and gain new abilities. Each region has new fish to catch, new bounties to fulfill, and new terrors of the deep. From the placid waters of Nightmare Lake to the subterranean wastes of the Shadow Sea, monsters lurk beneath the deep... Are you able to bring home the biggest catch?

You are being watched. The Leviathan, a cosmic force of death, will try to consume you after seven days on the water. At first, you won't be able to stop it; you're a mere mortal, and it's an infinite eldritch being. However, you have an advantage: a billion-dollar cosmic debt which returns you from the dead. With each new run, you grow stronger. The Leviathan is hunting you. Hunt it back.

The weapons at your disposal are as varied and chaotic as the fish you're fighting. Recruit fish into your skeleton army after thwacking them with a giant anchor. Ram into sea monsters head-on, then heal up using a magic lure. As you catch stronger and stronger fish that want to eat you, only smart build-crafting can keep you alive.

Eventually you'll make a mistake. You'll get too greedy, bring too many fish up at once, and get swarmed and destroyed. With each new run, you'll learn a little more, unlock more upgrades for the future, and get closer to your true goal: slay the Leviathan, pay off your cosmic debt, and become the greatest battle-fisherman of all time.

Bought it because I had it on my wishlist and it went on sale. Figured it would be okay for 5 bucks and an hours of entertainment. I played for 6 hours instead of doing my college stuff. Definitely a better use of my time.
Very fun very slidey
Another absolute banger. This seems to be a spiritual successor to SNAKE FARM and builds on its mechanics in many ways.

I fear the fish more than they fear me, 10/10
Интересный вариант попытки совмещения выживалки под волнами монстров с симулятором рыбной ловли - кроме оружия и разблокируемых персонажей (роль которых тут играют суда различных типов), характерных для жанра, тут роль противников играет рыба, которую надо сначала приманить. Причем даже в рамках карты есть несколько акваторий с разными типами "рыбы", которая также зависит от погоды и используемой приманки/наживки. Все местные персонажи (читай суда) имеют три показателя - здоровье, скорость и управляемость. Причем поднять эти показатели фактически невозможно... Исключением в некоторой степени является лишь скорость - ее можно нарастить, взять в качестве оружия одно из двух, дающих разгон. С моей точки зрения у игры есть три существенных минуса - плохая управляемость всех без исключения судов (инерция, заносы) делает игру весьма некомфортной - бодаться с управлением приходится больше, чем с противниками. Второй момент - скорость (отчасти преодолимый за счёт навыков), поскольку для убийства боссов игры надо успеть посетить алтари на локации, а время отнюдь не безгранично. То есть когда дело доходит до попыток сразиться с местными боссами, именно низкая скорость судов может выйти на первый план и не дать вам исполнить задуманное. Ну и третий фактор - необходимость фарма в немаленьких количествах, что в сочетании с двумя предыдущими факторами, делает игру еще менее комфортной. Итого в текущем виде не рекомендую. Хотя если разработчик внесёт изменения, учитывающие первые два минуса, пусть даже путем возможности прокачки этих факторов в мета-прогрессии до вменяемых показателей и сделает таким образом игру более комфортной, игру вполне можно будет рекомендовать.
I enjoy silly fishing games, I love the conceit behind this, but I found it just too awkward to control. It just wasn't much fun.
It's sort of the Hades of fishing games
Great game, IMO as someone who doesn't particularly like bullet hells or roguelikes. Huge variety of playstyles, and while I definitely have my favorites / must haves, the ships all feel balanced and like they reward trying different item comps - except the boneship >:( The different maps open up a lot of fun challenges that keep each run from feeling too same-y. All in all it's great, if you enjoyed Snake Farm this will probably feel like an even more fleshed-out and addictive game!
After playing this game, women want me more than ever. 10/10
