The trailer for the new Steam game “Ship of Fools” is accompanied by a sea shanty and presents the colorful seafaring roguelite with co-op. The game has 86% positive ratings and is currently offered at a discount in the Autumn Sale 2022.
What kind of game is Ship of Fools? Ship of Fools is an action roguelite where players control the two fools: the only beings crazy enough to face the dangers of the sea.
Your mission: to protect your homeland from a great catastrophe.
What does the community think about the Ship of Fools trailer? Many users on YouTube celebrate the song from the launch trailer:
- Lazywhisp: “I bought the game only because of the trailer. Never heard of it before. But now that I’ve played it with a friend, I can say it’s really fun” (via YouTube).
- Lephys: “This is one of the best game trailers I’ve ever seen…” (via YouTube)
- Bob Smith: “We need more trailers with a song in the background, that was awesome!!!” (via YouTube)
What does the gameplay look like in Ship of Fools? Together with your comrades, you board the ship “Stormrider”. At sea, you must defend yourselves against sea monsters in several rounds and deal with them using your cannons.
In the sea battles, you can unlock new items that will help you in further gameplay and assist you in averting the great catastrophe.
A major aspect of the game is the cooperation with your colleague on the ship. You fight together, repair damage on deck, and perform devastating combos using items. However, you can also play the game in single-player mode.
Just a note: For local multiplayer mode, you need a controller.
Of course, treasure hunting should not be overlooked. You can discover islands and uncover hidden secrets. However, don’t lose sight of the “everlasting storm”. This blocks certain sea routes, and you need to plan routes to avoid it.
How do players rate Ship of Fools? The game is currently rated very positively. However, it must be noted that, so far, there is very little player feedback on Steam with just 372 reviews. Of these, 86% are positive (as of November 26, 2022, via Steam).
How much does Ship of Fools cost? As part of the big Autumn Sale 2022 on Steam, you can get the game at an introductory price until November 29, 2022, and save 10%. Instead of €14.99, you pay €13.49, which is a little less.
