Fish or Die

Overview

Select from a variety of lakes with increasing size. Define your strategy by selecting a combination of equipment, tackle, and power-ups.

Gameplay

Plays like a real-time strategy (RTS) game combined with a board game featuring simultaneous turns. Tournament mode allows all your friends to play on the same lake, competing to catch the five biggest bass by the end of tournament day.

Everyone plays their turn's action points simultaneously. When all players finish their turn, the turn-end timer resets and action points are restored. You must return to the marina to weigh in your bass before the end of tournament. Only live bass count toward your total.

Progression

Game starts with buying gear using a fixed allowance of points. Sell fish when running low on cash. Use cash to upgrade and replace equipment at the Tackle Store, which has a large selection of gear to help detect fish, travel faster, and land bigger fish.

You can visit the Tackle Store during play to replace expendables like lost lures or get repair kits for unanticipated events.

Features

Encounter hungry creatures begging for food. Take your chances by ignoring their demands, or treat them right and they will help you out.

Game Warden patrols the lake for regulation violations. Psychedelic Fish will cause visual effects that make casting difficult. Outboard Motor lets you travel far distances quickly on large lakes. Fish Finder V2 detects size and level of fish. GPS Navigation shows mini map and fishing hole locations. License allows you to catch rare fish (can fish without it, but the Warden may fine you).
