KingFish is a two-player roguelite co-op city-builder where your kingdom rides on the back of a living, ancient leviathan. Developed by FireVolt, one player commands the giant fish from above while the other leads the King on the ground. The game arrives on PC via Steam and consoles in 2027.
Choose Your Role: King or Fish
Assume one of two roles in a world covered in a vast ocean filled with monsters and other dangers. Play strategically from above as the giant fish, which doubles as the land for the kingdom. Manage resources, build structures, and provide support on the battlefield. On the ground, which doubles as the back of the massive seabeast, guide the young King, gathering resources and fighting enemies in real-time combat.
If King and Fish will survive, they must coordinate and each play their roles. As King, manage the details of life on the back of a giant fish and manage the unique villagers. Pay attention to their needs and preferences to raise morale and have a fighting force ready when it’s time for battle, then respond to immediate invading threats.
Or become the far-seeing Fish and look to the bigger picture – nearby dangers in the sea, resource production, and the layout of the city. Expand the city and organise workers to meet production goals. Alert the King to hostile forces approaching in the darkness of night, and provide support in battle by casting powerful spells.
Share information about enemies, resources, and plans in order to bring peace and harmony to the tiny civilisation emerging on the back of the ancient leviathan, and carry on the royal family’s promise and destiny!
Every Run Tells a New Story
“The King and Fish both have incomplete information, and it creates this great dynamic of working together despite having completely different perspectives on the same situation. We wanted to bring a fresh take on city builders, blending real-time strategy and third-person action in an asymmetric cooperative experience.” – FireVolt
Each run introduces a new city to build. You will meet new characters and construct new buildings. There are also artefacts to discover. Returning villagers offer special perks to King and Fish.
Kingfish launches on PC via Steam in 2027. For more information about the game, be sure to add it to your Steam wishlist.
