As you massacre the local human population, your Infamy Rank will increase, leading to more powerful hunters coming to claim you as a trophy.Īside from swimming, you’ll mainly be mashing the right trigger to bite, which is how you consume animals and humans, obviously. You’ll also have to be on the lookout for pesky humans who don’t exactly take too kindly to you murdering innocent beach-goers or not quite so innocent shark hunters. Still, there’s always a bigger fish, and even once you’ve hit your max level, you’ll still find predators that’ll give you a run for your money. After fleeing from alligators in the first area, returning as a bigger shark and ragging them everywhere is pretty satisfying.

Once you’ve grown in size after consuming what feels like entire ecosystems, you’re free to go on the attack a lot more. The first two hours are slower, teasing you before letting the slaughter begin wholesale. At first, you’ll have to feed on the more passive wildlife, as predators have no problems bullying you, taking your lunch money and leaving you to die in a moment’s notice. It’s daft and janky, but quite enjoyable all the same.Īfter an intense prologue filled with murder and mayhem, you’re dropped into the middle of the bayou, tasked with growing and evolving by devouring the local wildlife. As a bull shark, you must eat your way to the top of the food chain, become a genetically altered killing machine and ultimately take revenge on the fisherman that murdered your mother. Maneater channels the same “sharks vs humans” energy as the Shark Party skit from The Jeselnik Offensive, showcasing what happens when the sharks turn the tables on mankind. As far as the numbers go, we’re slaughtering sharks wholesale, but we only seem to care when one becomes a Maneater. Meanwhile, in 2019, there were 140 confirmed shark-human interactions, of which only 64 were considered unprovoked attacks. It’s been estimated that humans are responsible for the deaths of 100 million sharks per year, and that’s a conservative estimate.
