About Ship of Fools

Ship of Fools poster

Ship of Fools is a seafaring roguelite co-op game in which you play the Fools, the only creatures reckless enough to brave the open sea. The Great Lighthouse that once shielded the Archipelago has broken, and a storm of malice and corruption is rolling in. Together with a shipmate, you climb aboard The Stormstrider and set out across the waves to defend your home from the almighty Aquapocalypse over the course of many runs.

At its core, this is a game about blasting seaborne foes apart with mighty cannons while protecting your vessel from monstrous attackers. Man the cannons, ready the sails, and work with your first mate to defend and repair the ship, combining item effects into powerful combos. The frantic encounters against the horrifying creatures of the storm are built to test your teamwork, and you will want to watch your shipmate's back to avoid becoming fish food.

Between battles, you chart a course through the sector, uncovering lost treasures and remote island shops while unlocking new trinkets and artifacts. Careful planning matters, because the Everlasting Storm constantly shifts and reshapes itself, blocking paths with its fury and forcing you to adjust. As an indie action roguelite made for cooperative PC play, Ship of Fools thrives on shared strategy and oarsome combat.
