This title began life as a freemium PC game by the name of Fishing Planet and now The Fisherman gathers up all the content and development progress made on the original project and offers it up for an all-inclusive price. Online play, leaderboards, and tournaments are all part of the package, neatly rounding out the impressive feature set for The Fisherman. The setup is simple - travel the world and try your hand at angling across nearly twenty different waterways that hold more than a hundred different species of fish and get the job done with a seemingly endless supply of licensed tackle and equipment. The Fisherman - Fishing Planet truly nails some of the best parts of fishing but is ultimately crippled by a few quirks and an inability to shed its roots as a freemium game. Turning an activity that could leave you sitting in a boat for hours on end with no action can be tough to translate into an engaging gaming experience, but the folks at Fishing Planet LLC have taken a stab at it and ended up with some interesting results. Issue with this great table it looks awesome and certainly works in terms of making money but if as it suggests by talking levels its a guide to best places to level up, its missing a major trick in terms of the lack of XP per fish - which would be far more informative than the Kgs - which could be provided by a simple rante.While they’ve always been a niche product, fishing games have existed as long as the video game medium. Whereas silver arowana for example are on around 900xp, but are around 2000 cash for around 2kg fish, and you can easily bring in +3 to time taken to catch 1 young shark, however while you might be racking in more cash, you aren't raking in the XP. Having done the amazon bit, you end up catching a lot of young bull sharks which aren't great money 9000, but are awesome on XP +4000 for around 76kg fish. Whereas for Sturgeon you are looking at 3605 to 15000 per fish.īut what isn't considered here is XP factor! Nor is it factored in how many fish you can catch in a time period (though generally this isn't a major issue, as I am sure that you are likely to catch at least 1 sturgeon in the time it would take to catch 4-5 pike). For Pike you will be betwen 680 to 1700 per fish (in my experience 950-1200 is most likely).
