Game has some serious bugs. You hook the 'treasure chest' and you have to release it because you can't open it. There are 'creatures' and there is no freeplay. Slog through each and every fishing spot till you mercifully just turn off the game. Additionally there isloud rude commentary from the 'fisherman' when you catch a fish. Broken rods, props tackle, all too common with very little start up money. Too many snags extremely loud noises. It isn't even close to what fishing is. It's not peaceful, and it isn't fun. I played for nearly two hours offline and grew so frustrated I decided it has to go. Refunded. 2/10

I had this on my wishlist for some time and picked it up on sale as the premise seemed interesting. This game is one of the roughest I've ever played and needs years of polish to be where it need to. The UI is an absolute nightmare to the point where I suspect this started as a mobile game but is so bad that I honestly can't tell. The music is blaringly loud and the sound effects feature voice clips that aren't even funny bad. Some sound effects ignore settings and blare out at full volume. There is some interesting nuggest of a game here, but the presentation is so aweful I'm not sure it's worth trying to find it. Stay away folks, this isn't worth your time.
