Ship of Fools
Fika Productions
MoreShip 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. Key Features 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 Please note: A controller is required for local multiplayer

Hey there, folks, and welcome to Crit Hit interviews. I'm Arlyeon and we're here today with Daniel Carmichael of FIKA productions, the lead game developer for the recently released roguelite. Ship of Fools.
For those not in the know, it’s a seafaring rogue-lite, that tasks players with protecting a boat as they swim into the heart of an apocalyptic storm, fending of waves of enemies with paddles and cannons - and ideally a friend, given the game is co-op oriented. (Though) it can be tackled solo. Anyways, let’s give the floor to the developer.

Hey Tappers, I know not everyone is a fan of vids- so, strap in, if you were curious to know a bit more about Fika Productions recent release, The Co-op Roguelite - Ship Of Fools.
Avast, Gather Round For The Tale Of The AQUAPOCALYPSE
Or don't, because Ship of fools isn't an overly dense narrative experience- and it wastes very little time introducing you to the basic premise of 'The world is both flooded & consumed by an endless storm' - go fix it you, you vapid pack of numbskulls.
