Description: Every fisherman is equipped with two special weapons. The weapons will upgrade as they are used and unlock other accessory slots. Via upgrading weapons, completing missions and catching certain kinds of fish, the player can gain access to special accessories. By combining various different accessories you can create your own fishing strategies suited to your own playstyle, to increase your skill at fishing in general or to target certain kinds of fish in particular.
The game features over twenty different kinds of fish. Each fish is unique in terms of appearance, speed, difficulty to catch and other special characteristics. Some can be caught head on, while others form groups which you can capture all at once if you cast your net from the side. More exciting fishing tactics await you when you visit this mysterious and bountiful deep-sea region.
Review: From the off, I have to say ‘Amigo Fishing’ is a great looking game and it ran perfectly on my system without problems. Plus, it’s free to play, so who doesn’t love a nice free fishing game? Well…me. I don’t like a fishing game when it is not a fishing game at all like this one is. This is a fish shooter and while it looks nice you are literally shooting fish in a barrel meaning there is zero challenge here at all. But that is not the worst bit! The worst bit is that you need to make in-app purchases to get more ammo for the gun, to shoot more fish in order to unlock more fish, to spend ammo killing and to spend more money! If money is no problem do give this a go, but don’t be fooled, the last thing this is, is a fishing game.
