This is a unique fishing experience and I'm genuinely pleased with the art and fun quests I have yet to discover. If you're considering a casual fishing game, you should get excited by Iron Fish because it offers a mix of cute dialogue and a rewarding sound track (listening to the sound track actually relaxes me!!!)! Nice work devs. :). This is much better than real fishing. I'm not sure why but I'm really hooked on collecting fish... sorry, bad pun. Just inspired by all the puns in this game. Overall really good, the art style is amazing, it's addictive and there is a ton of content. Would love to be able to travel to more islands, but then again I haven't unlocked everything yet so maybe there are a lot more islands.. Fish Puns & LOTS Grinding, Cute artstyle, Simple controls, put in about 3 hrs already about 90% on fish collection. Still have about 6 or so side quests, story arc goes for about 2-3hrs depends on your money prowess and if your actually persuing it, I imagine getting this game for about 5$ isnt that bad of a steal. Fun store highlight pick.. Great game! So far, I've gotten nearly eight and a half hours out of this game, over the course of two days. In that time, I completed the main objective of the game and also caught\/recorded every fish in the game, but I still haven't done the following: unlock every pet, acquire every in-game trophy, unlock every hat, and finish every side-quest (I imagine that finishing the remaining side quests would unlock the last few pets, trophies, and hats). Point being, this game could certainly keep you occupied for a while, particularly if you're a completionist and\/or you love the art style (as I do).Other things I loved:+ The world - very simple, but the developers really succeeded in mashing together fishing and piracy in an interesting way. + The fish - they have really cool, quirky designs overallThings that were meh: + The farming system - this is a system where you can grow certain vegetables, which can then be used to create dishes that provide certain buffs. Unfortunately, for me, I found the process of planting to be a little awkward on PC (but maybe it's more intuitive on mobile). Furthermore, I rarely wanted to stop fishing just so I could go plant\/harvest vegetables; it never really seemed "worth it" to me. I definitely wish that farming would have been more enjoyable\/intuitive, though, because some of the dishes you can make are really useful. + Some late-game side quests - maybe this is just me griping, but I was kind of turned off by some of the later side quests that required certain numbers of rare fish. There are methods\/upgrades to increase the likelihood of rare fish appearing, but in my experience, it still took some grinding to catch even 1 or 2 fish of a particular species. Some may say this should be expected for what is essentially endgame material, but for me, extensive grnding isn't really something I want\/expect in more of a casual game like this. Things I disliked: +Fishing in the Deep - this is an area with an awesome design, but I found it difficult at times to pick out the shadows of fish from the darker background. Maybe this was just me\/an issue with my brightness settings, but it still made this level probably my least favorite to play.. This is a delightful fishing game, reminiscent of Stardew Valley in music and general feeling. It's more grindy than Stardew Valley -- the main thing you do is fish, although there are quests, a garden, and a kitchen island. I'm only three hours in, so this is a very sketchy review. Rule with an Iron Fish is relaxing, pretty, has funny jokes and pretty music, and is a soothing game to play at the end of a long day.. Cute, pretty artwork. Witty dialogue that made me smile. A fun, silly storyline involving a cast of misfits. Mellow, relaxing music. The main game mechanic is fishing, which is not too complicated yet still requires focus. Combat (which can get a bit annoying) in the game is just faster fishing. Rule with an Iron Fish is a damn near perfect game!The only two improvements I would suggest, should you make a sequel, are 1) making the fish list searchable. It was annoying trying to find fish names in the massive list to figure out where I needed to go to catch what. 2) Have some longer term quests or tasks, even if they are just random or repeated ones. I would like to keep playing this game, but fishing without some kind of direction or goal gets boring ... kinda like life.If Kestrel Games made a sequel to this game, or added an expansion, it would be an instant buy for me!. 10\/10 Fish Puns, a lengthy Lore to be entangled by, many \u2018Unique\u2019 Fishes to Lure in for your Collect, and much Grinding! (possibly a few Secrets?)Seriously Silly, with simple mechanics and all sorts of Characters, plus, Beautiful Artwork wrapped up in a Boatload of Puns & Jokes, accompanied by a net load of Fish, that I would enjoy Mounting on my walls, whole schools of em\u2026Oh no, I\u2019ve Caught it, someone stop me, pleaseI can\u2019t reel myself back in, moor me to the docks before I drift awayEnjoy your Experience, Ruling, Ironfish. This game is great fun! There's a wealth of humour and hidden depth here. The salty nautical puns and playful humour complement a truly charming world populated with a cast of endearing characters. The fishing itself strikes a great balance between being instantly intuitive and addictive whilst providing a longer challenge to master with progress. I've found myself playing both when I have a few spare minutes or for longer spells when I want to have a crack at a comical quest or challenge pirates to a duel! Highly recommended, this one put a big goofy grin on my face!
