The story aspect of Fishing Club 3D is criticized for its lack of depth and engaging narrative, with players finding the quest progression frustrating and overly reliant on in-game purchases. While some areas, like the Virongo River, offer a more enjoyable experience, others, such as the Coral Coast, are seen as tedious and grind-heavy, detracting from the overall enjoyment of the game.
“Although the Virongo River was great the way the quests progressed and sort of went along an increasing path, the Coral Coast is atrocious with the quest to find by-catch in specific fish in specific areas.”
“I guess it is hope that the game will improve and the quests will be updated to allow increasing progressive accomplishment like the Virongo River section and the algorithm used to generate the by-catch updated to improve on the availability of the fish and the chance of the by-catch being found.”
“Well, you get a quest to catch certain fish at a certain place and it takes you over 3 - 4 weeks to just get them if possible.”
“In the realm of sports angling games, Fishing Club 3D delivers immersive graphics and mechanics, though it falls short in storytelling.”
“It's alright for what it is, but if you're not wanting to spend premium currency to help you along the way, then it's just a grind fest through quests that pay minimal premium currency rewards.”
“Some of the items (better ones, of course) are only available for purchase with premium currency (goldfish), which you're getting (in minimal amounts) by completing missions (catch x amount of this fish...) or paying real money.”

However, comparisons to other titles reveal that it may lack the graphical quality and variety found in more competitive sports angling games. While some consider the graphics impressive for a free-to-play title, others note that they do not reach AAA standards.
“Immersive experience with stunning graphics, yet lacks the competitive edge of other sport angling games.”
“The graphics are realistic.”
“However, when compared to titles like Rapala Pro Fishing, it lacks in graphical quality and variety of fish species.”
“The graphics are cheap, but hey, it is free to play.”
“No way it's a AAA title, but the graphics make you wonder how we got from Space Impact and Attack Attack to this on mobile devices.”

“In the realm of sports angling games, Fishing Club 3D delivers immersive graphics and mechanics.”
“Nice and relaxing, and easy to learn gameplay.”
“Gameplay is one big stat check that pushes you to buy things that skip said gameplay, and this gameplay itself is boring as is.”
“Game mechanics are simple.”
“If you're a casual player looking for an overly simplified time killer and you don't mind mobile platform mechanics and economy, Fishing Club 3D could prove interesting.”

The monetization strategy of the game is a mixed bag; while players can earn in-game currency by watching ads, the prices for purchasing goldfish are considered excessively high, leading some to label it a cash grab. However, it is possible to progress without spending money, making it accessible for those who prefer not to engage in in-app purchases.
“The monetization model is fair and allows players to enjoy the game without feeling pressured to spend money.”
“I appreciate that the game offers plenty of opportunities to earn rewards without having to make purchases.”
“This is a very nice cash grab game.”
“Get out your wallet, you will be buying goldfish at twice the normal cash grab game prices.”
“I normally dislike games with in-app purchases, but it's easy enough to collect enough goldfish eventually without paying.”

Players report that the game experiences occasional crashes, bugs, and lag, particularly after extended play sessions, but overall, it remains functional. While the glitches can be frustrating, some users find them somewhat forgivable due to the game's enjoyable elements. There is a general hope for future stability improvements.
“The only concern I have is that I'm not sure the game is supposed to be played this much. I was playing for 20 hours yesterday, and then it crashed. It has been a bit buggy and laggy here and there, but ultimately still works okay, and the game has eels, so the glitches are somewhat excusable.”
“Kinda fun, but buggy as hell.”
“I just wish the glitches would get fixed soon.”
