A 1-4 player physics based fishing simulator. While drinking and boating you suddenly crash into a small island. To work your way back home you have to learn How to Fish.

How to Fish Free Download - Game Review

This game is completely unhinged. You want to catch fish? Cool, just unload an entire clip into a shrimp, sell it's bloody corpse, and use the cash to buy heavier weapons or gamble away your dignity in a fish casino. Playing with your idiots in co-op makes the chaos even better, especially when you're trying to pull off ridiculous trick shots while fighting bosses across weird islands.

What you do in the game:

  • Fish fish, kill fish, sell fish

  • Start off with no gear or weapons, earn money to buy better gear and weapons and stuff

  • Complete quests and fight bosses to progress to new islands, where there are more dangerous creatures and better gear

  • Try to collect the rare variant of all the different fish

  • Hit trick shots for more money

  • Gamble for even more money

The online feature is working.

However, if you have antivirus software installed, you must add files such as ‘onlinefix64.dll’ in the game folder to the exceptions list at your antivirus program.


Otherwise, the online feature will not work.

‘Onlinefix’ is a system that tricks steam & windows and does not contain any viruses for now.

Windows simply blocks this to prevent you from playing pirate games.

The co-op mode really changes the experience, doesn't it? Playing online with friends must make coordinating the fishing trips a lot more fun. Do you find the game's challenge scales well when you have more people in the session?
