## What is Legend Angler?

From a quiet old pond to the lightless deep sea, a lake above the clouds, and the border between this world and the next.
At the end of your line, a myth is waiting.

■ Every cast counts
Tap to stop the power gauge and cast. When the float sinks and "!" appears, set the hook within a second.
Then the fight begins: your reel only turns while you hold the button. Reel too hard and the line snaps; go slack and the hook slips. When the fish runs, all you can do is hold on.

■ Read the waves
The water is either calm or swelling. When a big swell rises, monsters start moving — and you are guaranteed to land at least one before it settles. Some fish, like the blue whale, only bite when the sea is rough.

■ 62 species, 7 legends
Crucian carp and koi to start with, then great white sharks, giant squid and oarfish.
And the guardians of each water: the Pond Master, Nessie, the Kappa, the Kraken, Leviathan, the Yinglong dragon and Jormungandr.
Everything you land is recorded in the field guide, along with your largest catch.

■ Catch, sell, get stronger
Your catch goes into the creel first; you sell it yourself at the counter.
Spend the money on nine tiers of rods and seven kinds of bait. Better tackle takes you deeper.

■ Ten fishing grounds
Quiet Pond → Misty Lake → Great River → Rough Sea → The Abyss → Sky Lake → The Dark Sea.
Land the legend of each place to open the next. Once you have caught everything, three endless challenge grounds open up — the Golden Spring, the Adamant Deep and Rainbow's End — where the legends return clad in gold, crystal and rainbow.

■ Made to be comfortable
- Fully offline. No connection required
- No ads, no in-app purchases
- Progress saves automatically
- Morning, noon, dusk and night change what bites. Night is the best time

One rod, one piece of bait. That is all it takes to land a myth.

(The game is played in Japanese.)


## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.0.1 — 2026-09-17

A new place to play, and five new creatures.

- Test Your Luck - a new tab on the fishing spot list. One spin of in-game coins rolls a die and a wheel, and the creature you land on is added to your field guide. The odds are shown on screen.
- The Hidden Sea - a spot that opens once you have caught every creature at Rainbow's End. Bahamut, Tiamat, Aspidochelone, Hafgufa and Apep are waiting, and all five fight harder than the Rainbow Lord.
- Admin Waters - pick the creature you want and cast for it. Opens by clearing the Hidden Sea, or with the admin pass from the tackle shop.
- The tackle shop now has a back shelf, stocking the admin pass and admin bait.
- 62 creatures have become 67.

This app has no purchases. Every price you see is in-game currency; no real money is ever involved.
