About
Ship of Fools is a seafaring roguelite co-op game where you play the Fools, the only creatures fool enough to brave the sea. The Great Lighthouse that once protected the Archipelago is broken and a storm of malice and corruption is coming.
Together, you and your ship mate will jump aboard The Stormstrider and make your voyage across the sea. Man the cannons, ready your sails and protect your ship from sea monsters over multiple runs. It’s up to you to defend your home from the almighty Aquapocalypse.
In a clamshell, Ship of Fools is a game about blasting away your seaborne foes with mighty cannons as you defend your ship. Inspired by modern classic roguelites and built for co-op, you’ll want to bring your first mate on deck and enjoy oarsome combat as you unlock new trinkets and artifacts to help you save the world from catastrophe.

Designed for co-op play, frantic combat encounters with the horrifying creatures of the storm will test your teamwork. Work together to defend and repair the ship, combine item effects in powerful combos and make sure you have your shipmate’s back if you don’t want to become fish food.

Uncover lost treasures and remote shops on the islands of the Archipelago, but plan your moves carefully! As you chart your way through the sector, the Everlasting Storm shifts and changes, blocking your paths with its fury. You’ll need to adjust your course in reaction to storm movements and decide when you can brave a trip to discover what lurks inside the storm.

Man your ship as a solo sailor and fight your way through dangerous waters and keep the glory for yourself, Ship of Fools offers solo play as well as multiplayer. As they sing in old sailor songs: it’s sometimes better to have no crew than a dysfunctional one!

With many Fools to play with, unique items to find and unlock, combat encounters to fight in and many islands to visit, each run will bring something new to your voyage. Bolster your strength each time, ready to defeat the monsters of the deep sea.

If you have a dedicated friend to play this game with, its a freaking blast, i didnt think there was that much content but it blew my mind how much love and effort was put into the game, get the pelican as fast as you can and play with the first egg modifier and you wont regret it
jogo é f0dido muito bom.
bug一大堆,而且这难度真的合理吗??制作者自己没玩过吧
为啥以前能多人,现在正式版变成双人游戏了aaaaaa而且第二个手柄总连不上,本地联机只能一个手柄一个键鼠。。。
too hectic for how little fun this is. controls are clunky, and combat is very repetitive
Bem legal!
fun game but the devs abandoned it to pursue other titles. now 5 years later say if you purchase our new game we will finish ship of fools... leaves a bad taste. certainly a mixed review. feels like it had so much more potential and growth. DLC is just diff playstyles / characters thankfully. wouldnt recommend without friends to play with. fluid gameplay, runs well. great progression on ship and cannons and the bosses are fun and unique events, just need way more.
개야르릉 약간 화 낫음.. 하지만 해피엔딩 야르릉
very good game
Я в полном восторге от SHIP of FOOLS! Это именно та игра, где хочется не просто «пройти», а по-настоящему прожить каждую сцену. Атмосфера — будто ты оказался на странном, немного безумном корабле посреди бескрайнего моря: тут и тревога, и любопытство, и ощущение, что за каждым поворотом ждёт что-то неожиданное. Геймплей отлично держит напряжение: нужно следить за ресурсами, принимать непростые решения, а ещё разбираться в характерах попутчиков — и от этого история раскрывается по-новому. Очень нравится, что игра не даёт простых ответов: иногда самый логичный выбор оборачивается сюрпризом, и это только добавляет интереса. Визуальный стиль запоминается с первого взгляда: он самобытный, выразительный, в нём есть этакая мрачная поэтичность. А саундтрек будто специально создан, чтобы усиливать чувство одиночества и тайны — слушается на одном дыхании. Сюжет цепляет: он не торопится, но и не буксует, постепенно подкидывая детали и заставляя всё сильнее втягиваться в эту странную историю. Персонажи не картонные — у каждого свои мотивы, страхи и надежды, и со временем к ним по-человечески привязываешься. SHIP of FOOLS — это про атмосферу, про выборы и их последствия, про то, как маленькая группа людей ведёт себя в непростых условиях. Однозначно советую всем, кто любит глубокие, атмосферные игры с характером! 10/10. 😊
