About the Game

Viking Fish is an idle fishing game that docks at the bottom of your screen, allowing you to manage your Vikings while attending to other tasks.


Your Vikings cycle through an endless loop of casting, fishing, reeling in, and resting. Each time they reel in an item, it belongs to one of three categories: junk, fish, or treasure. Each category has two levels of rarity, rewarding the following coins:


  • Junk (Common): 30 coins
  • Junk (Uncommon): 100 coins
  • Fish (Rare): 500 coins
  • Fish (Epic): 2,500 coins
  • Treasure (Legendary): 10,000 coins
  • Treasure (Mythic): 25,000 coins

Coins are used to unlock new Vikings, allowing you to fish for more items faster. Vikings can also be upgraded to:


  • Decrease the chance of finding junk
  • Increase the chance of finding treasure
  • Reduce resting time
  • Increase fishing speed



The stats tab keeps track of your progress and lifetime achievements, including:


  • Total coins earned
  • Total items fished
  • Total junk, fish, and treasure items fished
  • Detailed records for each individual item, showing how many times it has been fished

Hovering over any item will display a tooltip with additional information.

With 100 unique items to fish for and a wide range of achievements to unlock, Viking Fish offers a rich and rewarding idle experience.
