Very cute and fun, some flaws. I really enjoyed this game. The art is very beautiful, the fish are fun to catch and often silly, and the light and silly nature of the characters and story are great! I would recommend it as a quick and fun game to occupy your time for a weekend. It is flawed though, it's very short, it relies too much on an RNG formula instead of offering more options involving skill, and the dialog often feels random, often not making any sense at all. Still, it's very fun and I think anyone could enjoy it!

There was a time when games had heart and soul put into them. Back when games didnt sell because they had the words "mine" or "craft" in the name. Back when idle games were nonexistant and games that required 3 days for an upgrade were things of nightmares. This game reminds me of those days. Truely a diamond in the rough.

So much more than meets the eye, as you go through the game it opens up so much cool gameplay! I upped my rating because the game just gets so much better as you play! Update.. lowered a star because no cloud saving. So disappointed.

Wonderfully charming game. Its greatest strengths are the beautiful art design and quirky characters. If you want to relax and enjoy a few laughs, this game is perfect. The only downside is the uninspired, repetitive gameplay. Nevertheless, i enjoyed a dozen hours of it. Very worth it, highly recommended.
Fantastic Game! A fun and addictive game with beautiful graphics and music! I love the fishing mechanic. Great humor sprinkled all over the game to keep it light and casual. Dont let that fool you though, this game has alot of depth. Great job by the devs for making such a high quality product!

Fun game. Having issues swiping down when catching a fish near the bottom. Not registering my swipe. Other than that enjoying it! EDIT: That works. Didn't realize I could swipe anywhere. No issues now. Thanks

Hey Andrew, thanks for the review! When you swipe to catch a fish, you don't have to swipe right where the fish is, but you can do so anywhere on the screen. Try it and let us know if it works! :) If not, please write to us at support@kestrelgames.com and we'll look into it. Thanks again! :) Perfect phone game tempo While I'm normally a fan of big beefy strategy titles, mobile platforms are better suited to something quick. Rule with an Iron Fish fits well onto smaller time slots, letting you catch a fish or twenty depending on how long you have. Absence of additional micro transactions past purchase is nice.
Fun game, could see room for improvement! Gameplay is very fitting for mobile, progression is satisfying, but the core game-loop has little variety. Dialogue, bestiary text, and overall flavor are just fantastic, my personal favorite part, but the design kinda encourages you to skip through a lot of that to get to more fishing and grinding. Would love to see it iterated upon!
Friggin amazing!! This game is surprisingly hilarious! The game play is simple but so addictive! The side quests are great and main quests don't take loads of time to accomplish. The characters are memorable and the interactions are fun! Excellent work!
No IAP Good game with no IAP. What all developers should strive to do.
I bought this game, because people said that there was a lot of stuff to do in the game, but I have yet seen this to be true. You fish, and you complete tasks. With that said, maybe I'm not far enough. I'm not saying its a bad game. I'm on the fourth Island though.
Downswipe often doesn't work when fishing near the bottom of the screen, which is frustrating when you've got a rare hooked since it essentially has a 25% chance to get away because of it.

It's very repetitive. Couldn't get all the way through it. I only played it as much as I did to try and just finish it, not because I was enjoying myself.
This game is infinitely better than a "free" game. It is fun, great graphics, quickly addictive, and other then the cost of the game, there are no hidden fees. My new favorite game!!!!
This game is so relaxing! Just what I needed after an intensely stressful month. I love how easy it is to play.
Great to see a paid app with none of the ads or pay to win rubbish. Well made game, collecting is fun with good rate of progression.
So addictive! I meant to do work.. instead I've been pirate fishing for 2.5 hours...
Adorable and fun, worth the money! Super calming and super cute. Easy yet also challanging to fully master. Great game.
Love everything about it. Don't know if I've had more fun on my phone, and I've played a lot of phone games. I hope they make a second one!
Endlessly fishing the first fishing hole. I can't even use my back button to get out

Hey Richard, we're sorry you're having trouble with the game - haven't run into this issue before. Please contact us at support@kestrelgames.com so we can look into the issue you're having! Thanks!! :) Great Game Devs! But I can't seem to catch the penguin no matter what I do hopefully you get back to me soon!
Kestrel Games June 21, 2017
Hey Nathan - Thanks for writing a review! The penguin is a rare catch found only in Shivering Timbers - Try using Superior Bait or Champion Bait, they will increase your chance to find it. It's not the penguin that steals your fish. This one is swimming among other fish in the water. Hope it helps! :) A wonderfully humorous game that I enjoyed to the last bits. In fact, I have to go back in now to finish my fishbook.
Pay once and never more, a simple mechanic with lots to do, and characters that are as endearing as they are absurd. Thank you for this game.
Adorable Easy to understand,just challenging enough to keep things exciting. And very cute.
A little shallow, but an excellent time-waster. Worth the price.
The game looks so beautiful and incredibly fun to play! Most definitely worth the money!
Nice game with cheeky humor and beautiful visuals. I hope you like fishing.
A fun little game, beatable in a few sittings, no ads. Great fun!
Fun, polished, not overbearingly humorous. Definitely worth a few bucks!
Thoroughly hooked. Funny, engaging and a perfect time waster.
