Press release:
Monday, 6th November 2023.
The Wakefield-based (the UK) indie games publisher/developer Team 17 and Quebec-based (Canada) indie games developer Fika Productions, today announced with great excitement and thrill and joy for their frenzied action roguelike co-op game “Ship of Fools” (the said content update is available right now for PC via Steam with additional platforms to follow soon).

The second update adds the brand-new character of ‘Otto, the reverse Kraken’ to the ranks while introducing four new pilotable ships, each with its own unique ammunition, artefacts, and challenges.

Players who can’t get enough of the Fools can also pick up the game’s second paid DLC ‘Water Garden Duo’ today for £4.99/$4.99 US/€4.99 on Steam to play as the new fool-midable pair Mikoi and Noh, who can deal devastating damage with their sound blast attacks and lightning speed.

Fooligans looking to get in on the action from today can pick up the base game or Aquapocalypse Edition, which includes the base game, both DLC, and Ship of Fools’ original soundtrack, for 50% off on Steam until 20th November.

Ship of Fools key features:

Bombastic combat – Frantic ship-based combat against colossal leviathans and horrifying creatures from across the deep, dark waters of the Archipelago

Frantic co-op experience – 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

Endless replayability – Upgrade your crew and unlock items and additional Fools to take on the ever-changing seas, with multiple runs needed to avert the Aquapocalypse.
