reviews
So, the game is fun, its relaxing, and catching new fish and fighting bosses is cool. Some people are saying that the duels are unfair. I haven't run into this, but I am new. If you are going to F2P this, know that the grind is horrendous. They hand out pearls 1-3 at a time very rarely, and the store packs you can buy with them are very expensive. Some of the sounds seem like they're missing, or bugged or never put in. Just a lot of animations seem to be missing sounds. Fun, not giving money.

Awesome game. I LOVE playing it! Well done guys :) Sadly I have to change my 5 star review to a 2 star. The game is awesome. Great graphics. But it has become a Pay to Play game. Without spending quite a lot of dollars on this game, you can't challenges and duels done because they are always introducing new fish you have to buy the lures for. It's a great game for people who have money to throw away though.

Pay to play. 20$ for 4 days Really nice graphics. Gameplay is "Ok". The reason for my rating is the required amount of money needed just to play this game. If you don't add money, you cannot really do much apart from fishing random fish without the possibility to progress at all. To progress you need lures, in order to get lures you need either to buy with money, or to open packs. To open packs you need to get packs. To get packs you need to win events or duels. To do that you need better lures.

So at first I had a blast on this game. I gave it a wonderful for the review. Since then it has been a battle. I've had it freeze on my side during duels where I could see the other player dueling and I couldn't do anything. I've also have only been playing for around a month and have had to update maybe 3 or 4 times. This last one has I've had a lot of trouble with and still can't get it to download.

It's an alright game. But as an avid fisherman this is nothing close to a similar experience. What also doesn't help this games cause is its very pay to win based. Alot of the events cannot be played without spending money it's not really fair to the rest of the people who don't pay to play

This game just gets worse every update, the lag causes you to waste powerups and when you upgrade lures and the skill tree you catch smaller fish than you did before. I would not recomend this game to anyone who is willing to pay to play cause the game simply screws you out of money. This game literally has no end you cant complete it as they constantly add new fish. Oh and dont forget about how unbalanced and costly the powerups are.

The game overall is nice, you don't have to spend money. But there are lots of rewards and perks come with pvp, and I'm fine with P2W, they spent money and they should have advantage over me, but I just give up on the pvp matchmaking, always paired with players way out of my league (is it fun for the other players to just steamroll the competitions?) so I'll leave them play against themselves.

It's fun and actually pretty informative as far as terminology and fish recognition go. I started playing again after a long break and it seems to be the same enjoyable experience I had before. Deleted everything and started a new account just to refresh everything and the beginner constant rewards are satisfying lol. I recommend, just don't spend money, takes the fun out of it.

This is my 3rd review. Im giving them 4 stars again. I love this game, been playing for about 3 yrs,subtracted 1 star for all the glitches. As far as all the reviews that say you have to duel players out of your league... I recently had to temporarily start over from zero...i can say that is definitely not true. Out of roughly 200 duels only 3 were against much higher level players. Maybe ppl with problems competing should view some tutorials
noname765535, the 16/04/2021

This is a fun game but there are a few things that need improvement on. They need to give you more power-ups to play the events. Unless you pay to play its hard to finish the events and duels cause you run out of power-ups trying to win duels.

I finally wiped my account after reaching level 145. It was fun, but I had long past realised that much like a drug, I had been enslaved by this game. The developers prey on the competitive individual and instead of rewarding long paying clients with better rates on in-game purchases, they do the opposite and raise costs. Like a drug dealer would raise his rates knowing the addict he's created will do anything for that next fix. Unless you've got money to burn, stay clear of this abomination..

Fun, informative, easy to pick up, but as many mobile games, it relies a lot on grinding or microtransaction. However, the game isn't as annoying as others in terms of ads. Great game overall.

This is horrible-it takes forever to load!and also kick me off the game when it was nearly loading on the game which took ages.and im trying to delete it and it wont evem delete the app!!!people say its a good gamw when they have one star-there joking right!? THIS IS HORRIBLE!!!!!! So can you do some changes this is getting on my nerves all I want is a nice relaxing game

STRICKLY A 'PAY TO LOSE' GAME (not win). TO PLAY IS FREE, but to win: it's $100 + $100 + another $100 -each time you log on. -You lose even if you pay! Game was once fun, but now the developers suffer to much greed. IT IS A VERY EXPENSIVE game now and that truly sucks. Nobody enjoys losing (where is the fun in constantly losing?) Power ups are quickly stolen from you by the game and even upgrades become useless. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO FUN IN LOSING. HUGE WARNING: This Game Absolutely Cheats!

100% PAY. TO WIN.The game has clashed and has made a lot of gamers like myself loosing money. FC has not fix the issue nor have compensated all effected gamers who have spend money on todays event and not being able to compleate due to the game clashing. This is a very serious issue for all the gaming and paying consumers. Fishing Clash must handsomely compensate all of us for this big issue. P.S. If u are not willing to spend 500usd a moth to be a competitive player. I sugest not to download
noname798244, the 16/04/2021

Fishing you out of cash it should be called...gotta spend $ to be relevant in the game...constantly has game play issues that never get resolved and they will offer you $1.00 in power ups to compensate you. Meanwhile it just screwed you over in a streak of duels that you spent $15 in power ups.

I rated 5 stars the first time I played this game. But at the moment, I wanna give 3 stars. Why? Because the championship required a certain fisheries in a duel but unfortunately every time I played duel I was put in different fishery. It must be focus in that particular fishery in order for us to win.
noname631747, the 16/04/2021

Horrible. Spent lots of money to play a game that rarely works. No parity, weak players competing against the strongest. No fairness. Save your money and don't play. I just read the other reviews. When is FC going to take the critiques seriously?. You are maintaining your exuistancecon the false rating of 4.6. no better than a 1. Save your time and money folks.

What the....... It's now well over a year and I am completely amazed at how many problems you have with the maintenance of your server problems and other tech issues../ I was introduced to FC and was led to believe that it was there for me to enjoy... I.joined a clan that will on occasion win a clan war and mostly does not .I read posts from others and almost all who do not spend MAJOR funds cannot get anywhere near championship positions. This is a game This is supposed to be enjoyable not now
noname981701, the 16/04/2021

Enjoying the game but matching in duels etc needs to be looked at. I get matched against players that have won around a 1000 duels and I am only starting. How do I compete against such players. Also new fish come out every week but you have to buy (actual money) lures to get the fish. So another P2W game

Great game really enjoying it all the family play and joined a clan so much fun Defo worth the play .....?in ap purchases are necessary but don't cost a great deal it is something that you can play at all times of day keeps you on your toes and keeps you stimulated it's not boring there is lots of and trade cards there are lots of plans to choose from clan wars joules and lots of ways to have a lot of fun you'll also learn a lot about the fish where their habitats are what they are and there is great room competitiveness

Very cool and unique game to play. Plenty of cards and events to keep you intrested. The great outdoors, indoors. Just wish some of the print / font was a little larger, it's hard to see at times.

The game itself is a five, however inorder to compete you have to pay or you are left out. When using power ups my #8 fish only gets 6-9 stars, not sur why power ups don't work well with some fish?

Great game except for it keeps crashing on me lately and freezing in the middle of duels or battles and the duels and battles are not really fair they pit you up against people you have no chance against it's not even a challenge there's no way for you to win unless you spend a whole bunch of money

You can buy a flawless game from Walmart for a hundred dollars this game is a money grab they have taken stuff I purchased and won but tell me there is not a problem constantly freezes how does Google promote this read comments in the game from paying customers I could probably read a hundred a day if I wanted and all the same problems as I experienced brutal

I like the game very much at the begining u0026 started spent money in the game just to win the championship, challenge and clan war. But after stop spending money i notice no matter how high lvl is your rod or lure, you also unable to win. So, if you not ready to spend big money in the game, please take my advised, stay away from this game.

Game become "pay to win"!!! Dont recomend if you are not ready to spend big money constantly. For beginer is good just first 2-3 weeks, later cant have progress without paying. Worst suport ever. Developer ignore players. Only purpose is taking money.

No level restrictions between players so you are going to lose a lot In order to win most of the top prizes you will need to spend real money and lots of it It's frustrating constantly playing against the same players you can't possibly beat

Hoping this update changes things..This used to be a fun game and yes you had to spend some money. Now it seems if you don't spend more you lose more.

I enjoy fishing very much and with 4 seasons I don't always get to fish all year round and it being quarantine and the middle of a pandemic and my immune system is compromised I have to be careful to go out and this relaxes me and gets my adrenaline pumping and its fun and I love seeing the new places to fish and I love the duels and I love seeing the kinds of fish and playing with my friends

This is an edit to my original review after having time to play. This game is still fun. the downside of this is the fact that it takes FOREVER to be able to upgrade anything in the village. It takes forever to gather materials, and then you have to wait 14 or more days for the upgrade to take place. so I'm dropping stars from 5 to 3. When you catch new fish, you don't get to fish for them, specifically because you have to get the lure. Not enough room to finish my thoughts. Great relaxing game.
noname296525, the 31/08/2025
________________________________________________
This game is fun at first but matchmaking is insane. I have duels with guys way too strong for me, in places where I have no chances. This is unbelievable. I am really frustrated. I cannot even match with people of my level, for 10 games, I lose 9 times. If you are new to this game, don't even bother, you have NO CHANCE. (Support team, do not ask me to contact you on your website as you tell everyone. We all say the same thing. Just fix that matchmaking). I will stop playing for the time being.
noname566424, the 31/08/2025
________________________________________________
Very nice game but here are a few important suggestions: (1.) The congratulations sound effect used after each catch is very annoying and should only play when you actually get something new like a fish or item, not after every caught fish. (2.) Duels should be more equal, it's a very unfair match, and the duels should also depend on the fishing spot you select because some people have stronger strengths than others. The duel system is unfair and the constant congratulations sound is annoying.
noname928699, the 31/08/2025

not fun detailed review: Even though it's a fishing game, it feels like just a tapping game. The fish designs are cool. I believe as a fisherman the experience of fishing starts from making the bait and preparing the rod. here I'm just tapping in a certain way to catch fishes. The developers are cool though. they are actually asking the gamers about possible improvement. Keep it up.

Well, I thought I loved the game, BUT... when I made the mistake of starting to purchase items. I have not been able to get the items I purchased. Specifically, my pearls, including pearls I won. Pearls are much-needed items for doing anything. I have not even been playing the game for a week and I'm already feeling stuck. Overall, the game concept, graphics, and ideas are great. It's that background "I WANT UR MONEY, GIVE ME UR MONEY, NOW! MONSTER??" That fw me ??u200d????u200d????u200d??
noname584600, the 31/08/2025
________________________________________________
game works fine. the issue is recently they have removed daily rewards, and events are increasingly only useful to big spenders. even unlocking new fisheries comes with events that are now only useful if you spend money. the duel system is probably equally as bad. It's random which fishery it sends you to, so completing any event goals related to duels is grueling, and if you aren't lucky, impossible. players in the clan I'm in have started quitting, even a couple of the spenders
noname182748, the 31/08/2025
________________________________________________
The game deserves 5 stars but after playing this game for several months it turned from an in app purchase pay to win more and more into a pay to play game. If you have big pockets and you are willing to easily shove out 50 or 100 bucks a week to play and be able to compete in events, then this game is for you. If you think you can grind your way up and never pay a penny, then expect some boredom sooner or later because this game is very repetitive and you won't be able to compete with others.
noname98715, the 31/08/2025
________________________________________________
awful. just another money machine. right now they have a new fishery, no way to get any prizes without spending money to compete, challenges are impossible to complete without buying a pack and even with a very high level account and years of playing, I cannot make it through the first half of the main challenge because I won't spend $10+ on the event. use to be fun, now it's just frustrating. spend your money and time elsewhere.
noname39354, the 31/08/2025
________________________________________________
99% of the time I am matched with people 20x higher than me. So, no more duels! the chests take 3hrs+ with no-way to reduce the time. technically, you can't fish for a specific fish unless you have it's lure(good luck). you can fish for a random fish, depending on your rod rarity. my experience with pvp is ... I don't like losing 99% of the time, im not a bad player. so yeah, the game is uninstalled.
noname485277, the 31/08/2025
________________________________________________
The tutorial is very bad, most of the things you have to guess around until you figure them out, good thing that the game itself isn't complicated, it's just fishing. The other thing is that the Fishing Pass (event banner) just stopped collecting points for itself at some point even though there were more free awards available. When I tried to raise a flag the help center chat bot asked for my name and email, so I didn't proceed out of safety. The game itself is ok, very relaxing and pretty.

If you love fishing but cant get out due to work or family this right here is just as nice. There are many different types of fish to catch as well as locations to fish. Multiple types of rods as well as lures and weights. you can upgrade skills to catch bigger fish. there are in game purchases and they are quite cheap. i highly consider playing this.
noname382980, the 31/08/2025
________________________________________________
It's alright if you want to just waste some time. It does have alot of issues. The first being.. the match making is absolutely terrible. its not even a match you can compete in. second is the lure glitch, lots of fish caught and never get the lures unlocked. third.. alot of the challenges you can't compete in unless you buy in.

I am deleting the whole game. Yeah, no help from the devs. It's useless to even try. I spent a week and a half here and noticed fish I caught never showed up... cards were never given when I caught them, it was a waste of my time. I really thought this would be cool but no. I move on. If I cannot trust the "FREE" site then how can I trust the "PAID" site? "We listened to your situations and we will fix the problems" STANDARD RESPONSE No money is coming from me. Oh shut up. standard reponse.

the game is great, love the graphics, though a bit of a lag due to signal or server. I would give 5 stars but due to a purchase that I did not receive the items...3 is the best I can give. tried to see if it could be fixed but was directed to Google play and they aren't much help.

this is one of the best fishing simulation game many different ways to achieve levels upgrades for free and no disrupting ads and your choice to purchase extras but not necessary and no sneaky tricks like spazing while tryin to catch the bigger fish or the feeling you aren't able to control the fishing im very competitive mostly with myself and cheating or making it more difficult to make you have to pay to get to higher levels the only thing that aggravates me lol bigger fish as time runs out?
noname934669, the 31/08/2025

Only get one star because the game is actually enjoyable, although. it's all about making money and ripping off everyone who plays, each day makes it more difficult for people to the point you can't play unless you spend money. recently upgraded the store, lowered the numbers on items you would purchase, but price is the same. Discord channel is ran by people who can't handle when you call them out, delete your comments and block you. So much more i could write google needs more characters.
noname8222, the 31/08/2025

Good game, but it's ridiculous when you have to duel others who power is way higher than yours, and also the duel will always choose the places that you just unlocked, having no lures to catch any fishes. Plus, why didn't I get any lures for Great Lakes and Carribean after I caught the fish?
noname303786, the 31/08/2025

really fun and addicting game. the only issue i have thats frustrating and annoying is in the maps "potomac river" and "iguazu falls" there are alot of fish im catching thats not registuring i caught them. ive wasted so much bate, radars, and lures trying to get them to registure and they wont. so when i go to dual someone and they pick that fish its almost an instant loss for me in the fishing battle. please fix this. also its almost impossible to catch the legandary fishes as well.
