    Ship of Fools is plucky, punchy and downright addictive. It’s one of the best roguelites available; once it has its hooks in you, it’s hard to let go.

    Ship of Fools is a game full of rough battles and tough decisions. I firmly believe it should be played with a friend, and I totally lost count of how many times we thought a run was ‘the one’. Ultimately how much fun you have with Ship of Fools comes down to if you have someone to play with. Solo was fine, but co-op was a blast. I can see myself grabbing my first mate and heading out again on our very own Ship of Fools.

    Ship of Fools is a decent roguelite structure with enough ideas to keep things fresh, but simple enough not to make things too confusing. There is as much to make this a strategy game as it is a roguelite game. I feel the experience is probably too tough for a single player which can make progress very slow and dull at times. But for those that like a challenge it could just be what you are looking for. This game would likely be much easier and more enjoyable played co-op should you get the chance to do so.
