If you're itching to see what the game is all about then theres nothing wrong with hopping into the game as it is, and yeah its not quite an english/NA release but simply an option for english menus/texts. If you do intend to get deep into this its highly recommended to make an account during a legendfest where the gacha rates are 2x. This is primarily to lock your "start-dash" pool to contain exclusive characters from the legendfest, start-dash promo basically allows you to cherry pick whatever was in the pool during time of account creation and a 10-roll for $30. Legendfests are typically at the end/beginning of months.

Been playing since November myself, and its alright not knowing any japanese once you're used to navigating the menus. While you can use google translate if you're playing via browser emulation. And if you're into collecting collabs stuff then starting early is certainly better.


So is a Legendfest going on right now, since it's the 3rd?

Also wonder if they're doing anything special on the 10th.

Looks like it's a /pain/ to do Start-DAsh. Have to get like 4000Y worth of Mobacoin, since a 3000 Yen is under 3000 mobacoin. So I foresee lots of rerolling during LegendFest.

The Start Dash comes around once a month until you buy it, so it's not like you have to get it right away, but then the pool of characters you get to pick from with the ticket is determined by what the gatcha pool was when you started.

You have just started at that point. Just keep catching fish and soon you will have plenty of money.

A tip that is useful throughout all the levels is that if you cast straight down you can tap a few times to bring your bait back up to the surface. Get a fish or two following it and time it right to were they strike as it hits the surface and you can land fish that you normally could not. When they are out of the water they don't have much strength. I use this all the time.

Also most of the special fish will attack the smaller fish. Do the same thing but catch a small fish and bring him to the top and let the special fish strike him at the surface for any easy catch.

Tales of Illyria is a solid choice, though not the prettiest game you'll ever play on your mobile. It costs about a dollar, there is some IAP though it is just there to make the game easier or to throw some bucks at the creator. There are a couple of sequels as well.

They are big games, both in install size and world size. I think they can be played offline as well, I don't really remember since it has been a while since I've played. But since there is a new one, I might have to revisit.

They can absolutely be played offline. But it's a HUGE initial download when you first run the game - like almost a gig. On the plus side, you can choose to save your gig of game data in a shared directory where all three games can see it, so you only have to download it once.

I haven't really played the third game much yet (been distracted/busy), but I can vouch for the first two being pretty awesome, if a little on the difficult side when starting out.

This is very much true. I got frustrated when I tried the first one because I ended up in a no-win situation; I wasn't aware these were supposed to be rogue-like RPGs.

A few things I didn't know until way too far into the game:

1. After casting, you can jostle the hook by swiping the screen without reeling in. A pop up usually tells you this in the first level, but it didn't show up for me on my first start.
2. Zapping costs bucks unless you have gotten any consumable zaps from catching a special lightning fish. It has the buck icon under the symbol, us on my phone it was way too small to discern until I'd burned through quite a few bucks.
3. Golden bait, unlike regular and special baits that are only good on one map, is the same for all the maps.

I got the doubler. Really takes out the stress of having to make money without really losing the challenge of landing big fish.

I do wish bucks were easier to come by or gold bait was cheaper. I'm in the Arctic now, and special fish without gold bait have become impossible to catch. They're just way too strong.

I had one with the commercial you've probably seen with Danny DeVito and George Clooney pitching coffee. I had a pretty scathing review, which they probably quickly discarded because they already spent a bunch of money making a commercial with Danny DeVito and George Clooney.

You can dodge them by swiping to the left or right, but the game honestly seems like it would be a horrific nightmare without the doubler by world 3 or 4.

Thank you for posting this. I beat the bat and haven't touched the game since then, expecting the later bosses to be the same kind of shitshow. This is very reassuring.

So I lost ALL my progress in the fishing game. I kept getting a popup every time that offered me two different cloud profiles. It shows the cash and everything and one was mine and the other was a fresh start. Well I always clicked mine and played and it was annoying but OK until late last night I was checking for Museum money before I went to bed and hit the wrong empty option. Now it won't offer me a choice and has totally reset all my progress. I do still have the coin doubler but I don't even have any friends or anything now.

I'm going to contact the developer to see if there is anything I can do. I do know my friend/cloud code since I posted it in here so maybe that will help.

I ended up giving up on that soul-sucking fishy poo poo show. I wasn't having enough fun to justify the coin doubler and prices ramped up so quickly that I just got sick of the whole affair. Maybe I just suck at fishing.

In other news, I've got a shitton of Kemco games from the 2 times they've run humble bundles and I'm always impressed at their B-List-iness. It's clear that they put a lot of work and love into their RPGs, but they just aren't great. Solid 6s.

It's really not much of a game without the coin doubler, so I can't blame you - i wound up being able to justify it and the game is 100x more fun now that I don't have to get frustrated with common fish.

I'm playing that fish game and bought the doubler because it was pretty fun. I've been paying attention to the actual sell prices on my fish (Like before they get doubled), and I'm pretty sure with bait price scaling the game is a nightmare of barely breaking even or finding yourself stuck in the goldfish pond again.

With the doubler it's a decent timekiller though

You can break the game if you fish under the boat. Once you get a fish chasing the lure, pull the lure towards the surface so that when they grab it they go airborn. Power levels don't matter outside the water. I made it to the Arctic at power level 60 using this trick, but it doesn't work well with the really long fish.

That explains the ~6 lines of dialogue catchphrases for each. When you're paying by the syllable you don't want to over extend your budget.

Also explains the lack of game. Cute art direction, could easily see it as a Sunday Morning Cartoon.
