Prepare to battle 40-foot waves, storms, ice and a nearly
100-percent crewmember injury rate in the dangerous hunt for
undersea riches on the Bering Sea. Deadliest Catch Alaskan Storm
lets gamers captain their own boat in the frenzied search for an
undersea jackpot. Gamers select one of five real crab boats,
including the Northwestern, Cornelia Marie and Sea Star - all
featured on the series, or create and customize their own boat.
Gamers then recruit and lead their own crew from a roster of twenty
real crab fishermen. Selecting the wrong boat or recruiting the
wrong crew member can mean the difference between landing a Bering
Sea jackpot or disaster. Lead your fatigued, hungry and hardworking
crew in the strategic search for King Crab and Opilio Crab, while
battling to secure your catch and livelihood before other captains
and crews get to the crab first. The game was inspired by Sig, Edgar
and Norman Hansen, three brothers who have made their living crab
fishing on the Bering Sea aboard their family's fishing vessel, the
Northwestern. The Hansens and the Northwestern are featured on
Discovery Channel's highest rated and Emmy-nominated series -
Deadliest Catch. The series that captivated nearly three million
viewers each week returns for a fourth season this April.
