Read guideWhat is How to Fish?
How to Fish is a physics-based fishing simulator developed by Dazed Games for Steam. After crashing onto a small island, you must catch, fight and sell fish to earn enough money and equipment to continue your journey home.
Play solo or cooperate with friends while upgrading rods and weapons, completing quests, fighting bosses and travelling to increasingly dangerous islands. Trick shots, rare fish variants and fish-based gambling add an intentionally chaotic twist to the fishing formula.
