The value story

It has been discounted 19 times in the 11 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 60 percent, about 17 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.

It is pricier than 71 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 86 percent. On the same math Ultimate Fishing Simulator® ($1.19, scores 68) and Call of the Wild: The Angler™ ($29.99, scores 11) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

What players say

This game is not worth the money. Look I will admit I did enjoy the game and I have had my fun but the dev has abandoned the game. There are many bugs and glitches as well as game play features essential to the game that don't work. The last update released in Nov. 16 2021 and from then on nothing. I do not recommend the game at all. Please rather look at alternatives like Russian Fishing Sim or Call of the Wild...
