The gameplay of Fishistry is straightforward and engaging, combining idle and clicker mechanics without the frustration of low drop rates typical in other idle games. Its simplicity and charm make it accessible and enjoyable for casual players, allowing for a quick and satisfying experience.
“Unlike many idle games that artificially inflate playtime with absurdly low drop rates (0.00001%, seriously?), Fishistry avoids this frustrating 'gambling' mechanic, making it far more approachable and enjoyable for casual players.”
“The gameplay is simple yet engaging, striking a nice balance between idle and clicker mechanics without feeling like a grind.”
“There's just not any mechanics here - it's roughly like a Tamagotchi.”
“It does not take long to finish at all; it's simple in both gameplay and style but also charming and worth it.”
