How to Fish, the physics-based fishing game from Dazed Games where players shoot their catch with guns, has surpassed 142,000 concurrent players on Steam, according to SteamDB. Released August 20, the game holds a 'Very Positive' rating with 94% of about 7,100 reviews positive. Up to four players fish, sell their haul, and fight bosses to leave the island.
How to Fish launched on August 20 with no tools or weapons. Players washed ashore on a small island must catch fish, sell them for better gear, and clear quests that spawn bosses; defeating a boss opens the next island, where danger and item levels rise.
The twist is the gunplay. Caught prey can be tossed into the air and hit with trick shots from a sniper rifle, which grant bonus rewards. Prey can fight back, so survival is part of the loop.
A launch sale discounts the game 38% to 545 yen until August 28.
