Amazing, but simple
At first I was amazed by the fact that a game about fishing really exists. (I dreamed about it since fishing in School of Dragons.) So, I bought it. It took some time to understand mechanics, duck’s tips helped me a lot. Then I easily landed all the fish I wanted, bought all the items and… thought that the game was over, everything was finished. Happily, there were places I haven’t explored yet. I found three caves and, to tell the truth, walking across all these picturesque views gave me a lot of pleasure and satisfaction - it appeared to be even more thrilling than fishing. I mean, the game is really good. It is relaxing, entertaining and I feel that the author (developer) put his soul in it. Still, it is too simple. (Only 2 evenings of gameplay, after which I have nothing to do there.) That’s why I put only four stars right now. I hope that there will be more locations, various fish and maybe new secrets in future updates. I also look forward to seeing system with insects working (right now button to catch insects has no use and lure is infinite). Moreover, I would like to spend game money for something finite or to have something I would save up them for. Maybe, you can add daily quests for concrete fish or location with other fishers (I guess it can make game more venturesome.)

Good game
Good game but the secrets are hard to find though (still good game).
I loved this tiny adventure
Thank you for making this. The way the joy of fishing is captured plus the nostalgia of of games like this makes this game truly special. Please make more just like this but more :)
Nice
Beautiful pixel art, calm ambient sounds, secrets on locations. Simple yet interesting fishing mechanics. Nice game. Unfortunately it’s short - I have bought everything from shop after maybe 30 min of fishing. Game could be more interesting if it has more progress steps. Like more rods, more fish species, higher prices in shop. Anyway even now I sometimes want to launch game just to relax.
P.s. I can’t find jackalope! Help me with this please 😁

Simple and easy to enjoy
Just like fly fishing.
Fun past time
If your a fly fisherman you will dig this game. The scenery is beautiful and the fishing system is solid. I would have appreciated a tippet added to the fly line but that doesn’t change how fun this is to actually play
Response from developer
Great suggestion on the tippet! Appreciate the feedback, and the review! Tight lines, MeLlamoYorch!
Initially inscrutable
Controls are sometimes virtual buttons, sometimes touch anywhere, leads to lots of confusion early on. Weird that menu is in your tackle box. No indication on map of whether or not a location is accessible. Once I realized the reeling tension choices were not virtual buttons but touch anywhere, I was able to actually see the gauge and the fishing mechanic started making sense. Every cast is jarring because you don’t see it fly through the air to its destination. Why did you decide to teleport the lure to its destination and skip an actual casting animation? Very weird decision. Just lots of strange interaction choices that imo present a high barrier to entry. Also, would really help with immersion if there was like a motivation for any of this. Quests? A story? Even a light intro that expresses a basic reason for wanting to catch a legend or whatever would have gone a long way to help me feel like there was a reason for any of this. Record of fish caught should be in like a journal and not outside the whole game in the start menu. Hey this journal sounds like a great place to move the menu and maybe a few settings. Maybe a shack we can put trophies in and upgrade? I get it you're a small operation and idk how the heck games are made and maybe it’s a testament to the game that it makes me think of all the other things I want here, but what is vs. what could be is a real distraction. River Legends 2 gonna be off the chain.

NEEDS MORE
Great game, I want more species of fish, also want more lakes, and more stuff to unlock
Response from developer
Hi! Thanks for playing River Legends. Thank you for the feedback as well, hope to offer more in the future!
Boring
Too complicated and txt is too small for my eyes im afraid
Can’t understand
I didn’t catch any fish, it’s to hard, and I didn’t understand how it’s work.
Response from developer
Hello, thank you for trying out River Legends. Sorry to hear about the challenges you encountered, please send an email to flyfishinggame@gmail.com and I would be happy to help you out.
Amazingly realistic
This game is as close to real fishing as an app-base game can get. The more I play it, the more fun it is.
Response from developer
Thank you, QSwitch! Keep on fishing on!
Thank you for making this game!
This game checks all my boxes: -Visually pleasing and retro (bringing back memories of games I have treasured), - Simple controls, - Fishing in my favorite method for my favorite fish (fly fishing for trout), -hidden secrets in the game have been fun to uncover. All in all this is a game I have never known I needed. Thank you! It is a favorite!

Thank you! This means so much, I am glad you enjoyed this fishing adventure.
This game is awesome
I was on a road trip when I saw this game, at first it was a belie hard but I started to reel in big fish and then it sparked my love for fly fishing in real life, so thank you for the memories
Response from developer
Thank you! Happy to bring those memories back!
Update:Great game!
At first I thought you had to continuously tap, not tap and hold…..which made it nearly impossible to catch a fish! My impatience made me leave a poor review…my bad. Great mechanics, adorable pixel art, fun fish fighting! 5 star!
Response from developer
Hey, really appreciate your honesty and the feedback. Thank you so much for playing River Legends!
Relaxing Game
A stress-free game without any time pressure. I play it mostly next to my lecture and it's fun!
Response from developer
Thank you! That was one of the goals when making this game, and I’m glad you discovered it! Tight lines.
Got an iPad version!
Updated 5/6/21: Very responsive developer took care of my issue quickly and now I can enjoy the game in all it’s glory.
Update 4/28/21: developer thanks for your quick response. I see you sent the link for the iPad version of this game, but why wasn’t that available when the game was released? I checked after downloading this and realizing it was for the iPhone. And why isn’t this a universal app if there is an iPad version now? I can’t pay for this game again. Can I give you the iPhone version back and receive the iPad version instead?
Thanks
I was excited to get this game, I’m a big fan of pixel art games. Just after I paid the money for it, I realized I just paid for a game that is built for the IPhone only. That’s a bummer, I like to play on my iPad 11 pro and it’s 2021, needs to have an iPad version for the price.

Great game but.
It could use more content after the game ends. The gameplay also gets repetitive and always seeing the fish makes it less realistic. Also my biggest gripe is how the river legend was just a lake trout. I thought it would be something cooler at least I didn’t ever think that was the legend till I checked overalll great game
