Is How to Fish worth it?

How to Fish is worth it if…

  • you have two or three friends for online co-op chaos
  • you enjoy silly physics and absurd humor
  • you like boss fights that lead to new islands

Shipwrecked with no gear or weapons

You and your crew crash a boat onto a small island after drinking, and you must learn to fish to get home. You start with no gear or weapons, so every early catch counts toward money for better rods, guns, and other equipment. The fishing soon turns into gunfights, with fish that attack back and weapons used to finish them off. The shooting feels satisfying and the look is cartoony.

Bosses guarding the way to new islands

Each island has its own boss, and beating it opens the way to the next one. Later islands hold more dangerous creatures alongside stronger gear to buy, so there is always a reason to push forward. You spend money, take on quests, and prepare for a fight.

Better chaos with friends beside you

This is a game for one to four players that is more fun with friends than alone. Teammates can hurt each other and revive a downed player. The physics create chaotic, comical moments. The whole tone stays funny, built for a group that enjoys laughing together.

Seagulls, gambling, and an absurd story

The story around the crash is absurd. Deaths are often comical, and seagulls sometimes carry off dead players. There is gambling to chase extra money, played with in-game stakes and no real money involved.

What else should you know?

What do you do between islands?

You complete quests, earn money, collect the rare variant of each fish, and try trick shots for extra cash. Fighting the boss of each island is what leads to new islands, where creatures are more dangerous and the gear is better.

How does co-op change a session?

Up to four players can fish together online. Teammates can hurt each other, but you can also revive a downed player. That mix keeps group trips messy and funny.

Is there anything strange to expect?

Yes. Seagulls steal caught fish and carry off dead players, deaths are often comical, and the look is simple and stylized. There is also gambling with in-game money, plus cartoon violence toward fish.
