About this game

The only creatures foolish enough to brave the sea are the Fools in the maritime roguelite co-op game Ship of Fools. A storm of malice and corruption is approaching, and the Great Lighthouse that previously guarded the Archipelago is no longer functioning. You will board The Stormstrider with your other shipmate and set out on your oceanic journey together. Over several runs, man the cannons, prepare your sails, and defend your ship from sea monsters. You must protect your house from the powerful Aquapocalypse.

• Frenetic combat engagements with the terrifying storm creatures are designed for co-op play and will put your teamwork to the test. If you don't want to wind up as fish food, work together to defend and repair the ship, combine item effects in potent combos, and watch out for fellow shipmates.
• Explore the islands in the archipelago to find hidden shops and abandoned treasures, but be sure to carefully consider your actions! The Everlasting Storm moves and transforms as you navigate the area, obstructing your paths with its wrath. You'll have to decide when you can brave a trip to find out what lurks inside the storm and modify your trajectory accordingly to the storm's movements.
• Ship of Fools allows for both solo and multiplayer play. Man your ship as a lone sailor and battle your way across perilous waters while keeping the glory for yourself. It is often preferable to have no crew than a dysfunctional one, as they say in classic sailor ballads.
• Each run will provide something fresh to your journey, including new Fools to interact with, uncommon objects to discover and unlock, battle encounters to engage in, and several islands to explore. Boost your power each time so you'll be prepared to fend against the creatures of the deep.

How much you'll enjoy Ship of Fools comes down to whether or not you have someone to play with. If you do have a friend that enjoys roguelikes and/or tower defence — and has a penchant for sea shanties — then we can guarantee Ship of Fools will give you a handful of hours of frantic fun.
