The value story

The lowest price on record is $10.49, set in August 2026. Its cuts run 20 percent off as a rule. There have been 5 in the 6 years tracked, about 10 weeks apart.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 43 percent on value. It is pricier than 98 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 67 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Fishing: Barents Sea ($24.99, scores 59) beats it on value, while it beats Euro Fishing ($19.99, scores 11).

21 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written October 2020 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,725 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 752 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 27 percent of the 200 reviews written there were positive, against 77 percent overall, and those are 8 percent of everything written about it.

What players say

Game glitched on me after i spent 5 hours out using deeplines and i had 105k storage full which was probably worth around 4-5mil and i got teleported all the way offshore forcing me to call a rescue for 1mil cameback to port and glitched again giving me fish a worth of a whopping 0. Game is so bad and glitchy and its been out for quite a while.

They abandoned this game for their new one, there were several features they said they were going to add but it is abandonware and the new game sucks.
