What players say
Some fun moments in the story mixed with a rather cosy grind gameplay Liked it, but more for fans of the VLD channel than the broad mainstream
buy on sale, i did because 20 is kinda a lot of this fun game thus far, you will be more forgiving, i LOVE their show mostly npc skits, so i bought this to support them plus i enjoy fishing games . i have about 6 hours in. this is a puzzle type fishing, you will have currents and mazes to guide your fishing you will have some fish that eat any bait so they will get your magnet when you are trying to get a chest...
This is a silly little RPG. The references are fantastic and I enjoyed the progression of Balin's power. You start off by doing things manually so that when you unlock the easier method, it feels good. The one upgrade I really liked was the lateral hook movement. It makes fishing way more controlled.
