  • monetization277 mentions

    The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players appreciating the absence of intrusive ads, which enhances the overall experience. However, there is significant criticism regarding the high cost of in-app purchases, which some users feel are necessary to remain competitive, leading to perceptions of the game as a "cash grab."

    • “Lately developers throw quests your way that force you to buy add-on items to complete, just to increase in-app purchase revenue.”
    • “The biggest issue are the in-app purchases; they are excruciatingly expensive, which then means more and more people root and hack to get coins and pearls, outstripping those that try and play fairly.”
  • gameplay213 mentions

    The gameplay of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players noting its repetitive nature and reliance on pay-to-win mechanics, which can lead to frustration and a lack of competitiveness without spending money. While some appreciate the graphics and find the mechanics enjoyable, others criticize the technical issues, lack of depth, and the overall experience being marred by unfair gameplay and constant crashes. Overall, the game is seen as a decent distraction but falls short for those seeking a more engaging and varied gameplay experience.

  • story71 mentions

    The game's story aspect has faced significant criticism, primarily due to the removal of story quests and the overwhelming reliance on in-app purchases to progress. Players express frustration over the lack of accessible missions, which are often gated behind paywalls, making it nearly impossible to enjoy the narrative without spending substantial amounts of money. While some users appreciate the graphics and side quests, the overall sentiment indicates that the story experience is diminished by technical issues and a focus on monetization.

    • “Fun game! I enjoy the story and the chance to catch big fish; I only wish it could have a little more story or a way to fully immerse players in the game.”

    • “Hours of realistic fishing fun including duels, quests, and challenges!”
    • “Latest update has taken away the story quests, which sounds like the makers are getting greedy.”
    • “I get that not everyone has to spend money, but if you want to have a chance in 1v1 or any quests, you have to spend money.”
    • “Game gets old pretty quickly as the main reason to play is to get stuff from the story quests, which run out fairly quickly.”
  • grinding35 mentions

    The reviews indicate that while the game is enjoyable and visually appealing, it heavily relies on grinding, especially for upgrades and progress, which can become tedious over time.

Overall, the experience is mixed, with some players appreciating the grind while others find it mind-numbing and unbalanced.

    • “It's relaxing, has great graphics, and is not tedious at all (at least not in my experience). It does exactly what a mobile game is supposed to do.”
    • “Enjoyable experience but sadly after a while, to make any sort of progress you need to buy upgrades or face endless grinding.”
    • “The game gets really grindy but lacks a grind for coin option.”

  • optimization16 mentions

Overall, the game's optimization issues overshadow its potential, leaving players dissatisfied.

    • “Thank you for your beautiful graphics, the whole concept, and the time I enjoyed when Fishing Clash runs smoothly.”

    • “New review: performance is still horrible. I cannot play duel; accessing either clans, rods, fish cards, or whatever can cause a loss of connection, leading to a game restart. This takes around a minute to reconnect and then about half a minute to start the game, where you can get an immediate loss of connection.”
    • “As updates continue to come out, the performance and bugginess have not gotten better.”
  • humor16 mentions

    The humor in the game is described as a mix of amusing graphics and quirky animations, particularly with the fish flopping around, which players find entertaining. However, many users express frustration with the game's mechanics and customer service, leading to a sense of irony where the developers seem to be laughing at players' misfortunes. Overall, while the game starts off funny and engaging, it can quickly become tedious and frustrating, overshadowing the initial humor.

    • “Pretty colors and mindless catching all different nice fish, little ones to big ones. It's hilarious; you just catch digital fish with a high success rate, but sometimes fail. There are like some fish bosses at certain leveling up stages of gaining more hooks and gear to get bigger fish, which are harder to catch. Lol, it's all you want in a fishing game.”
    • “The graphics and animation of each fish are hilarious; when you tap, they flop just like the real thing.”
    • “This is an amazing game, but the funny part is when the jetski came, there was no driver.”
  • music8 mentions

    The music in the game receives mixed feedback; while many players appreciate the relaxing soundtrack and find it enhances the gameplay experience, some prefer a more ambient soundscape with minimal music. Suggestions for improvement include adding dramatic music during key moments, allowing players to disable music, and increasing the volume of certain genres like country music. Overall, the music contributes positively to the game's atmosphere, but players desire more customization options.

    • “I love the gameplay, the competition is fun, the locales and fish are beautiful, and the music is relaxing.”
    • “Graphics are very nice, the soundtrack is relaxing, gameplay is responsive - could have more variation in setting the hook, but overall an enjoyable game.”
    • “Just as relaxing as real fishing, just closer, and the country music can be played louder.”
    • “You need to follow the example of other games by adding dramatic music and power-ups when reeling in a fish, a more challenging casting system like a power gauge, and an aquarium to put the fish in.”
    • “I want a simple game, no music, outdoor ambience, and fishing sound effects, and stop locking all the areas.”
    • “Too bad it isn't available on Steam, or lets you disable the music after catching fish.”
