The Developer Says...

In Tackle Box, you play as John Tacklebox – a grizzled fisherman, quiet and stubborn as the sea itself.
Your village has emptied over the years, leaving you alone with your memories, your rod, and the ocean.
But when you enter a legendary fishing competition, the fight for survival begins.

FISHING MEETS FIGHTING

  • Catch fish.

  • Fight fish.

  • Win fights.

  • Catch bigger fish.

  • Repeat until your arms fall off.

TIGHT, SIMPLE COMBAT

BOSS FISH WITH ATTITUDE
