## What is Gilded Koi?

Cast a line. Land something legendary.

Gilded Koi is a fishing RPG with a living, breathing world of other anglers. Explore six zones from freshwater rivers to abyssal trenches, catch 200+ species across six rarity tiers (all the way up to mythic) and compete on a real global leaderboard.

THE CATCH MINIGAME
Every bite triggers a skill challenge: hold to lift your catch bar, keep the darting fish inside it, and fill the meter before it escapes. Simple to learn, satisfying to master. Your gear actually changes how it plays.

A REAL MMO LAYER
You're fishing in a world with other players. Watch the live catch feed roll in, chat in the Tavern, join a fishing crew, visit other anglers' docks, and challenge rivals to Fish-Off duels. Three timed catches, coins on the line.

DEEP PROGRESSION

10+ unlockable zones with rare time- and weather-gated fish
Craft tackle in the Workshop, cook meals for buffs, run the Cannery for bonus sell value
Send your crew on timed Expeditions while you're offline
Open tiered chests for gear, clothing, and cosmetics
Achievements, quests, and a Fishdex to complete!

THE WORLD IS ALIVE
A real day/night cycle and four weather types change which fish are biting every few minutes. Storm rolling in? Legendary rates spike. Fog? Treasure shows up. The conditions are always shifting.

MEMBERSHIPS
First Mate, Captain's Club, and Leviathan Society memberships give bonus stamina, daily chest opens, and exclusive animated badges. Pearl packs available for the serious collector.

*2026-08-09, version 1.0*

Solid game, easy enough progress with some fun high level stuff to strive towards. I really like the fishing, it’s fishing bar style with a really nice weight to it and you can do it in the fishing menu or random encounters while paddling! (An extra bonus in my heart for river kitten pets)
