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.

Pretty good game! Seems like a lot of content with recent update only for $4 on sale. "Bring us the fish, and wipe away the debt"- bioshock infinite

As much as I love fishing, this one just didn't do it. The controls are frustrating, the "weapons" don't scale fast enough as the days go by, and basically the first 10 runs you make a minimal dent in your debt. Quite a disappointment.
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!
It's sort of the Hades of fishing games
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.
操作手感稀烂。 表面看是钓鱼,其实是打怪游戏。
+1
A fun if little 'survivor' type game, with some novel mechanics. But the soundtrack hits WAY harder than it has any right to! The title song is like a lost track by Uriah Heap. Great stuff
