Do NOT touch this game.

1. Economy is nonexistent, you will grind endless hours for levels, skills and equipment and nothing will change, only gives you an ability to catch "bigger" fish, the bite rate of the fish is horrendous, especially when we're talking about "good" fish. With every new release they make stocks limited, so if you're late you have no way to receive new items unless you
pay cash or wait for 2 weeks. The amount of damage your gear takes and the repair costs vs the amount of silver you earn for that could make a grown man cry.

2. Premium - Will give you nothing other than experience boost, a bit bigger keep net, and submarine in Norway. Premium also allows you to send items to other players, but as a premium function, it's useless perk, since you can't send anything
significant unless you pay for it with cash. Even without premium you're out leveling your gear faster than you can gather silver. So paying for premium is a double edged sword, you get to new maps faster but cannot afford the gear.. Open your wallet again.

3. Inflation - They randomly set prices of popular equipment higher, without increasing your ability to earn more.

4. Meta gaming - There is no experimentation in this game, well you can, but if you want to at least break even, you have to join some community( like discord, facebook, vk ) to find spots, baits etc.

5. You're pawn. Any critique you have to say, might get you banned, especially when you're writing your post out of frustration, admins are extremely sensitive. And even when you have anything good to suggest or critique it WILL NOT be heard, unless it's a money grab. How the game should work, you have absolutely no say in the matter.

6. There is not enough reward for progression, you just can go to new maps and catch bigger fish, but beyond some beginner maps, you'll earn 500 silver/h at any map on average, no matter how many hours you've spent or how good your gear is.

7. Game is developed in a way like they hate their player base and they want to get rid of them, it has been just patch after patch restrictions on how and how much fish you can catch. Back in the day you could fill 100 net with an hour or two, now few years later you're lucky to get 30 in an hour, unless you're catching complete trash. They've lowered average weight of fish over the years, so now you mostly catch tiny specimens. Game has in-game "quest" system that got reworked in a way that now restricts heavily how much extra silver you can earn from it. And adding more and more systems to get money out of your pocket.

8. Is your energy bill high? No problem, you have to have a game open while your repairs are in progress so you can pay even more.

9. Game has an extremely invasive anti-cheat, which will scan through your computer without your consent, so you can get banned for running running your everyday applications like autohotkey and many more undocumented list of applications (nobody really knows the depth of the list) and so forth.

10. Game gathers statistics and information off of your computer, including personal identifiable information without your consent. Even their crash handler will send full report of your PC to them without asking you, if your game ever
happens to crash. All the information that has been gathered about you is being sent to Russia and is processed there.


Game is a bad, you should not invest any time into this, especially when it means you're putting your sensitive data to risk by doing that.
