deadliest catch the game

We have one member of TheXboxHub team who simply cannot get enough of fishing. Whether it’s a Fishing Adventure or Bassmaster Fishing to be had, he’s game. But we wonder if he is equally a fan of en masse crabbing? Well, we can all find out today, as Deadliest Catch: The Game on Xbox and Switch hits the shelves. And yeah, we’re giving this one to him for review, even if he doesn’t want to catch crabs.

Ready the Cages

Releasing on Xbox and Nintendo Switch, following a 2020 PC debut to mixed reception, Deadliest Catch: The Game is inspired by the TV programme of the same name. It’s this which sees crab fisherman traverse the oceans in pursuit of as many of the nippy creatures as they can get their hands on.

The game, therefore, will see you jump into the shoes of a crabber, and go about the chores of the job. Expect to be confronted with a multitude of tasks, such as sorting out the coiler, retrieving the cage, and everything in between in order to fulfil your quota.

However, you’ll also be involved in the logistical side of things. You’ll need to take into account regulations on fishing quotas, crab migration patterns, and the movements of the unforgiving sea. With a diverse set of locations to travel to, each will come with its own unique challenges.

Remember, not every crab you catch can be sold for a tidy profit. Alaskan law dictates that only crabs of a certain sex and size can be sold on, so you’ll have to sort out the sellable large males from the protected females and babies. Nobody wants a baby crab for dinner – they want some hearty meat! Unless you’re playing DREDGE, in which case pretty much anything goes.

The features to nip

  • Advanced methods of king crab fishing.
  • Realistic gameplay.
  • Extended options for managing your ship and crew.
  • Dynamic weather conditions system.
  • Advanced water physics.
  • Options of expanding and improving your ship.
  • The game was created under license from the TV series produced by Discovery Channel.

Play Deadliest Catch: The Game on Xbox Today

“In Deadliest Catch: The Game, players face many different challenges. They have to deal with not only the sea but also the fishing quota and crab migration later on. As a result, they can find out for themselves why crab fishing is considered one of the most difficult and most dangerous professions in the world.” explains RafaÅ‚ Jelonek, the COO of Ultimate Games S.A.

Deadliest Catch: The Game seems simple enough, but it will take a lot of strategy and perseverance to become the best crab catcher on the seas. If this is a challenge you are ready to rise to, then make sure to pick up a copy of Deadliest Catch: The Game today on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Switch or PC. You’ll find Deadliest Catch: The Game on PlayStation soon too.

The Xbox Store has copies for £20.99. Keep an eye out for that review. Our resident fisherman, Paul Renshaw, is going to love this one. The big question is whether or not it makes a mark on his best fishing games.

Game Description:

Hey, you! Yes, you! Do you want to be a landlubber your whole life? Or maybe you dream of making a fortune, sailing dangerous seas and learning the secrets of king crab catchers? Are you not afraid of risk, storms and crab claws? If you are brave enough, come with me to Dutch Harbor! 

For a few days every year, experienced crab catchers and greenhorns brave the side of the element by side, putting their health and life on the line. The goal is to earn a fortune and become known as the best crab catcher. Now you can become one of them! In Deadliest Catch: The Game you will compete in dangerous sea rallies to catch more crabs than you ever thought possible. The task is not simple – it is a battle against time, fishing quotas, crab migrations, and most importantly: the sea. Such is your fate on the Alaskan waters! 

Your ship is no different from those that sail from Dutch Harbor every fall to seek a fortune in the marine abyss. You will conn your vessel in all conditions: breeze or gale, no storm can scare you, however terrifying it may look. The troubled sea, the soaked ship deck, the vessel floating on the waves – and you to overcome it all!

At your disposal, we leave not only this fishing vessel, but also all the onboard equipment – the crane, the winch, the launcher, and the coiling system. We will teach you to use them, step by step.

I'm an avid gamer who will play pretty much anything... but stick an open world or adventure game in front of me and I'm more than happy.
