Deadliest Catch: The Game

Deadliest Catch: The Game puts you in the role of a crab catcher sailing from Dutch Harbor into the Alaskan waters. As captain and fisherman, you operate your vessel and its equipment, catch king crabs in the Bering Sea and compete to earn a fortune and become known as the best crab catcher.

Fishing in Alaskan waters

You work against time, fishing quotas, crab migrations and dangerous sea conditions. You steer your vessel through changing weather, from breezes to gales and storms, while dealing with rough waves and a soaked deck. Your goal is to catch more crabs than your competitors.

You use crab pots to catch crabs and analyze the water and seabed to predict where they may be found. Alaskan law limits which crabs you can catch and sell, so you use a realistic 3D model to distinguish mature males from protected females and young crabs.

Operating your vessel

You control the ship and its onboard equipment yourself, handling each device in first-person view. The equipment includes a crane, winch, launcher and coiling system, which the game teaches you to use step by step.

Compete with others

You can test your skills against the computer or other players. In competition with friends, you load pots aboard, operate your ships and vie to catch crabs as quickly and effectively as possible.
