Take to the skies and shoot your mates in the face with a shotgun in Fish & Ships

Perhaps the most famous British meal is fish and chips. It’s hard to beat a perfectly battered, crispy piece of fish, served with salty, pillowy soft chips absolutely drowned in vinegar. I’m getting hungry just thinking about it. But we’re here to talk about Fish & Ships, a new co-op game about a group of fish piloting an airship in search of the ocean.

If you enjoy co-op games like Peak, then Fish & Ships looks like it’ll be right up your alley. Take to the skies with your mates and engage in some shenanigans.

It looks like you’ve got to navigate your craft through a ravine with multiple plateaus cut into the cliff faces where hilarity can ensue, like shooting an old guy in the face with a shotgun. Damn, he was just sitting on his porch enjoying the sunshine. Let’s assume he was guarding something necessary to progress, shall we?

As well as guns, the fish have a lot of boxes (maybe those contain the guns?) that you can throw overboard and smash into each other’s faces. Physical comedy is a big selling point of Fish & Ships. There’s also a shot of the airship trying to navigate a floating minefield, it looks tricky.

I can see this game being incredibly fun to watch streamers play. I, unfortunately, do not have a big enough group of PC pals to pull off the kind of aerial hijinks seen in the trailer, but I’d love to see other people taking part in all the fun.

There’s no launch date for Fish & Ships just yet, so wishlist it on Steam to stay abreast of all the news.
