Fun at first, pay to win as you go
This game started out very fun. I got a $5 starter pack to start and it worked out great. Problems started as I progressed. I found myself unable to keep up with other fisheries, duels and championships as I unlocked more stuff initially. I fished and fished and still couldn’t catch up so I bought another expansion pack and it helped me get almost no where. Recently an update was added where if you gain enough points it showed you can unlock some power ups. I kept up the grind to unlock the power ups and at the end you still needed to pay for it when you unlocked it!! Unbelievable!! Clearly the creators are real fisherman cause they hook you and then expect you to pay to keep making gains. I haven’t unlocked a single mythical fish anywhere, can’t pay for new lures when you actually need them with money earned fishing, fish come up in duels that I don’t even have lures for AT ALL, and never get the right rods to upgrade. Paid 10 bucks so far for this “free” game in two separate expansion packs, spent countless hours playing so far and haven’t gotten anywhere

Fishy Bank Review
Fishing Clash is an awesome game and time waster. Though it has some annoying bits, I still highly recommend this game. The new Fishy Bank feature had me excited when it was announced not too long ago. I was pleasantly surprised that I was one of the randomly selected players to test out this feature for 6 days (thank you for choosing me). However, I was immediately disappointed when I found out that you have to pay $4.99 (more like $5.00) to crack open the bank. If only there was a way to do it for free. Maybe decrease the amount of gems you can get that would be reasonable for getting it for free. Nevertheless, this game is still phenomenal with its highly detailed fish models and graphics (which is impressive for a mobile game). Once again, thank you for your time and for choosing me to try this new feature, I will continue to enjoy your game regardless.

Interesting game.
Quite entertaining.
Very Good Game
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.

Don’t spend $, just enjoy free play :-(
Free app yes, some fun starting out yes, payment is optional yes but fairness is a no. To compete they press you to spend money & you still get beat down but others who I guess spend more money (and the fake players are out of hand). No reasons to be matched up with ppl in duels, skirmishes & challenges & you’re given absolutely no chance to win but not until you have exhausted many power ups, which in turn presses you to spend money. No power ups, no chance period. If you have an issue and email them expect a delayed response & a response that gives no insight or informs you they didn’t spot the problem you wrote about. Pretty frustrating & this is coming from someone who spends, or should say spent money every week on this game to always still fall short. Too many fisheries opened which thins out the lures you receive & enters you into championships that you’re not able to compete in & enjoy b/c of the folks who spend plenty of money & just obliterate you. It is fun in the beginning but unless your invested financially it fades away very quick.

Duels
I think duels should be based on level and not trophy, coz trophy numbers can be manipulated and levels can’t, therefore, duels on weekends are more fair. Ex…a lvl 115 player won’t be dueling a lvl 150 player.
Hope you have a big wallet
Firstly the developers don’t listen to the majority of it players. They only listen to the ones with deep pockets . As they make them the money.
Secondly there’s new fish event every week sometimes there’s two. I can understand it’s a business put shafting your players every week by constantly making the game harder and harder. There’s no consistency in duels you could have same amount of trophies as you but could be 40+ levels above you rendering it impossible to win.
Tol players regular drop the trophies leading up to a weekend event so they can then easily win as it goes off trophies earned not your actual lvl . There is no fairness at all

Literally impossible to progress without money
I’ve only played this game for a couple hours in total, and how much progress did i make in said 2 hours? Almost nothing. I still have not even unlocked the second fishing region. It is literally impossible to progress in this game without either playing forced multiplayer (you can fish for as long as you want, but you will never level up once from doing that) or fall for their EA-like scummy practices and spend money. Uninstalling immediately.

Good for a while.... could use some tweaks and new features.
I like this game a lot and really enjoy it however there are a few things I don’t like.
1. I’m always matched up against too strong opponents in versus, and I never seem to be able to keep up.
2. There should be a way to get more free perks like the fish radar etc.
3. I always feel like there are no good ways of making money “coins” it just feels slightly unbalanced.
4 I wish we could see and actually pick out lures and interact with them in a level up menu. What we have now is kinda just selecting pictures of fish and leveling up a rod-reel combo.
5. A cool feature to eventually add would be boats that periodically move around while out on a body of water, or self driving.
6. Crabbing and other shellfish would be a nice feature.
7. A tank area where you can see your biggest species or trophies would be nice.
All things considered this is by far one of the best fishing games for the phone. I’m impressed with the current updates, challenges, events. It is very nice to have such an interactive experience. If a few of the suggestions I have come to fruition this game would be a 5 star game no doubt. Regardless I have been playing this game since it came out and I thoroughly enjoy the vast species and places to fish great job!

Great game
This is a great game and can be great fun, but still can’t see why, when you go to have a duel, your not matched against your opponent, who is 100 levels higher then you and has won over 5000 duels and yet I’m still trying to get to 100 duel wins, the fish they catch are ridiculously bigger, put it in football terms it’s like putting Manchester United against forest green, yeah who’s forest green !! this game would be so much more fun if we were matched more fairly, surely there’s a way to sort this out thanks
