Ship of Fools, the multi-award-winning, cooperative roguelite game developed by Fika Productions, has launched its first content update for the Steam version in partnership with Team17 Digital. The zany, seafaring game was first released in November 2022 and has gained a loyal following of fans. The latest update brings a haul of end game content that shines a light on The Great Lighthouse – the landmark right at the heart of the game’s hub.
The Ship of Fools content update invites players on a journey to restore The Great Lighthouse’s guiding lamp to its former glory. The update introduces new items and cannon abilities, new encounters, and new quests. On completion of the new adventure, players can unlock these items and abilities. To celebrate the release of the update, Ship of Fools is also on sale with a 20% discount on Steam.
Players can also experience the Deep Sea Duo, paid DLC that introduces two new anthropomorphic Fools to the crew of the good ship Stormstrider. Angus the angler fish and Jules the diver have bubbled up from the crushing depths below and come with their own unique heirloom item that provides a passive ability to help at sea. Deep Sea Duo is available for £3.99/$4.99/€4.99.
Ship of Fools is a bombastic nautical combat game, featuring frantic ship-based combat against colossal leviathans and horrifying creatures from across the deep, dark waters of the Archipelago. Designed from the keel up for co-op play, manage ship repairs in the heat of battle, reload and re-manoeuvre cannons, and use paddles to strike enemies as they board the Stormstrider. The game boasts endless replayability, with multiple runs needed to avert the Aquapocalypse.
The new end game adventure allows players to restore The Great Lighthouse’s lamp and unlock new items, abilities, and encounters. The update is available on Steam and will come to consoles in September 2023.
Ship of Fools has already won three MEGAMIGS awards in its home country of Canada, winning in the best audio and music, best art direction and artistic achievement, and best game design categories. The new content update is a testament to the game’s continued success and the dedication of Fika Productions and Team17 Digital to deliver a unique and engaging gaming experience.
In conclusion, Ship of Fools’ new content update is a must-play for fans of the game and those looking for a cooperative roguelite game with endless replayability. The new adventure to restore The Great Lighthouse’s guiding lamp to its former glory adds a new layer of excitement and challenge to the game, while the Deep Sea Duo DLC introduces new Fools with unique abilities.
