Release your bait in the mega fishing game
Indie developer Peep has announced that Fishing Mega-Game will release on Steam in January 2026. This unique survival-style adventure allows players to choose custom difficulty settings as they explore an ocean filled with challenges. Steam users can wishlist the game to be among the first to dive into it.
In Fishing Mega-Game, you take on the role of an angler who battles fish to catch them, using each catch as bait for the next. The game combines creature collection with combat, offering dozens of colorful fish to catch and a variety of ability combinations to unlock. Players will have to face waves of aggressive fish, each of which seeks to turn the tide. The gameplay is a hellish experience that takes place underwater. Level up your character, unlock rare upgrades, and overcome crowds of small fish before catching the main catch.
Research is key. The game has several zones filled with fishing spots, NPCs, and upgrade shops. As players venture into new areas, they can discover permanent upgrades, discover new fish, and receive helpful tips from local characters.
Custom difficulty adds another layer of strategy. Each fish has a rare “shiny” variant, and catching all the fish in a level unlocks the ability to enchant the water. This increases your chances of encountering these rare types. Increasing the level's difficulty further increases the likelihood of finding shiny fish, rewarding skilled players.
There are over 60 unique fish to collect in the Fishing Mega-Game, each with different starting attacks and abilities. It encourages experimentation to find the perfect combination for your playstyle. Combining survival mechanics with creature collecting, it takes inspiration from Surviving Vampires and Ridiculous Fishing, bringing a fresh, action-packed take on fishing games.
