Is Voodoo Fishin' worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Co-op fishing fans who want to explore with a group rather than fish alone
- Players who enjoy fishing games with survival threats and the risk of losing a haul
- Groups seeking a fishing game with nearby voice chat and shared exploration
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players looking for a purely relaxing fishing pace may find the swamp’s threats interrupt the calm
- Players who want to keep their catches after every failed run may dislike losing the haul and equipped tackle on death
- Solo players seeking a fishing game centered on single-player play may not find the group-focused activity a match
Our take on Voodoo Fishin'
Fishing games often center on catching and upgrading gear; this one adds a survival risk to each trip. The catch is not secured until the angler returns alive, making the journey back part of the fishing loop rather than a simple pause between catches.
What is Voodoo Fishin'?
This co-op fishing game sends 1–6 players into a haunted swamp to search for rare and legendary fish.
Proximity voice chat lets players talk while exploring the bayou together. The deeper the group travels, the stranger the surroundings become, and creatures in the swamp pose a threat. Players craft a puppet angler, then use bait, reels, and rods that can be upgraded to pursue rarer, larger catches. Returning to the dock alive means the Fish Monger pays for the haul by weight.
If a player dies, the swamp keeps their catch and equipped tackle. The game uses self-hosted play for returning to sessions with friends. The demo includes the core gameplay systems but restricts world exploration and access to higher-tier tackle.
