Fishing Clash: Sport Simulator

There are some things that could be improved on this game but for the most part it is a great game. Ignore all the bad reviews. I have somehow managed to gain about 21 levels in one day. How I did it, easy: Don’t worry about buying things out of the store. Use universal bait so that you catch different kinds of fish. Occasionally use draw in the rod section to possibly get new perks. Cast many times. Don’t hold down on the reel, instead, tap it so that it stays in the middle of the meter. Do some duels so that you get the pack. Upgrade your fishing cards whenever you get the chance. Spend pearls to speed up the time to open packs whenever you feel you need to. Catch fish until you fill up the star thing and get packs from it. Upgrade rods whenever you have the chance. Participate in championships. I have not yet seen the rewards for this but I am possibly still in 1st place and might see tomorrow. There might be a couple more things to do but most, if not all of them are probably common sense. I know this seems like a lot, but like I said, most of it, if not all of it is probably common sense. If you do these things, you will be good in no time. I started at level 6 today.

Was super fun at first, but then you end up spending money. Also I caught 4 different bosses that the game didn’t give me because it crashed every time I caught a boss. That was almost 2 months ago. Now I can’t even catch a boss even if I sit at the fishery and just keep casting 100s of times different lures, and just trying everything. 6+ people in my clan caught all 5 boss fishes at the Saginaw fishery the same day it opened, and it took me 3 days to actually catch a boss there and that was fishing for hours on Friday Saturday and Sunday. That was the first boss since the game basically stole the 4 other bosses. Used endless power ups just to be disappointed. I wish they made that more fair. Also It would be much better if the game didn’t crash so much, lag all the time, and just crash and collect your packs for you and you not even know what you’re getting. Also the power ups are almost slim to none getting unless you have a bunch of pearls (you have to buy them because they don’t give you very many for leveling up or rewards) and have everything upgraded , but it’s almost impossible to upgrade everything because you open a new fishery almost immediately after the last one you opened. Would be more fun if they gave out more power ups for rewards and the actual lures we need. It is fun at first, but you get addicted and some of us break down and buy some things.

I can respect the devs need to make money, and given it’s a free download with no ads there are going to be a good amount of pay to win mechanics. What I can’t respect is the insane amount they charge for the ability to compete in any weekly challenge. Want to catch the legendary fish of the week? That’ll be $10 just to get the right lures or rods for a one-off event. Want to upgrade your village enough to get rewards before the arbitrary timer runs out? Well it takes 36 hours to upgrade the lodge, which needs to be completed before you upgrade the two other buildings which need to be completed before you upgrade the building that ACTUALLY counts towards your progress, so you better spend some pearls to speed things up. And of course all of these require farming materials which take hours, which can also be sped up by spending pearls. Probably averages around 300 pearls EACH for the last 10 steps, which are on “special” offer for $10 for 350 in the shop. You get the idea. The worst part is that outside of the predatory microtransactions it’s actually a fun little game and I’d be happy to throw some money at it if the prices were at all reasonable, but given the direction they took the revenue model I could never support them or recommend this game to anyone that respects their own money or time.
