Deadliest Catch: Sea of Chaos is based on the TV series Deadliest Catch , where you play as a captain of a ship fishing in the Bering Sea. In the Campaign mode, you need to buy a boat, hire up to five crew members and set pots to catch crabs.
The crew members are people from the show with different stats that can be improved through leveling up. The gameplay involves various mini-games, including setting and retrieving pots, sorting crabs, tossing them into a loading basket, and repairing your boat on the Playstation 3.
