Fishing might be a great pastime but it’s more famous for its relaxed pace than its action packed, slicing and dicing type excitement. That is until a game like Ninja Fishing comes along. Yes, Ninja Fishing. It really is that wacky a combination, bordering on the kind of absurdity that only a game featured inside Game Dev Story would normally offer.

In Ninja Fishing, players control Otoro, a fisherman ninja who’s got quite an appetite for sushi. Players must tilt the iOS device in order to move the hook around fish and underwater mines. Once a fish is hooked, Otoro then reels in the catch flinging the fish into the air. This is where the ninja side of things come into play with players needing to slice the fish as fast as possible while nimbling avoiding the dynamite that lies in wait.

Extra points are gained for capturing rare fish and there’s an upgrade system to play around with too.

The lighthearted and devilishly humorous Ninja Fishing is set to be released August 4th. We’ll be sure to have the latest scoop on it nearer the time. For now, check out the trailer.
