Free Download of the fishing simulator: Fishing Planet
Fishing Planet is a unique and highly realistic online first person multiplayer fishing simulator developed by a company called Fishing Planet LLC.
The game can muster some impressive graphics if you have a newer rig. If you are playing on old machinery, it might require you to lower your settings to increase performance. However, the gameplay remains the same: with durability on your gear and exterior forces such as the weather have effects on how effective your fishing trips will be - just like in real life.
The functionalities of a game set in the great outdoors
Much like in other outdoorsy games such as the hunting game called Deer Hunter 2004, Fishing Planet gives you a digitalized glimpse of real nature. Unlike Deer Hunter, which was published in 2004 and thus has rather rough graphic elements, Fishing Planet is actually a pretty decent visual experience, considering that it is a free game.
With the game’s settings in the higher end, you get water that breaks when you throw your line into it, with droplets of water splashing out and creating ripples each time you break its surface.
You choose (or find) your bait before heading off to a destination in the world. There, you can walk around lakes and springs with other players to find the ultimate fishing spot. From there on out, it is all about having patience and finesse when it comes to reeling the fish back in. Be careful with how hard you reel, depending on how fiercely the fish fights back at you, so your fishing rod doesn’t break.
Once you catch a fish, a message pops up telling you which type of fish it is, as well as giving some measurements so you can monitor your catches. Then, you can choose to either keep the fish to sell it or to set it free for others to catch. Sometimes setting the fish free is necessary as you otherwise risk getting a fine, if the fish is illegal to catch, for example.
Travel around the world to catch various types of fish in changing scenery
Fishing Planet does not limit you in terms of location. Fish for giant, aquatic monstrosities in North and South America, Russia, and Europe. Each destination allows you to enter from various vista points. You can then walk around in a 3D rendered world and use the natural curvature of hills or man-made bridges to get your lure even further out in the water.
If you like the idea of travelling around the world, we also recommend trying out Superbike Racers, especially if you like racing and high-paced gameplay.
Dynamic weather and water systems, including day/night cycles
The game also includes a world that has changing seasons, different types of weather that bring out certain types of fish, and day/night cycles that also influence the types of fish you can catch.
This means you have to survey weather reports and a clock in-game to find the best time to angle for your favorite fish.
Compete in online tournaments against friends or foes
The game has a built-in multiplayer online function which means you will be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with other players who are currently online. This also opens up for the option to compete in fishing competitions and to chat with other players, in case you enjoy social
Travel around seabeds by boat or stand under large trees
Choose whether to stand by the riverbed or go travelling across larger aquatic areas with different types of boats. Purchase metal boats, bass boats, kayaks, and rubber boats. These unlock new types of fishing adventures for you and will in some cases allow you to catch fish that had otherwise been off limits to you, prior.
Accessibility across languages and platforms
Fishing Planet comes with the choice between a number of languages, although there are certain limitations. The languages offered are English, German, French, Spanish, Russian, Polish, Dutch, Portuguese, and Ukrainian.
Other languages, such as Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Italian, and any of the Nordic languages (to name a few), are not supported in the game’s current state.
The game can also be run on a MacOS system, so if you are a fan of Apple, you won’t have to miss out on your favorite freetime activity.
You can also set up a controller if you have one for another platform (such as Playstation or Xbox) so you can play the game on your PC but with a cross-platform experience. Controllers are fully supported with this game.
A free game with a cash shop and a store in the real world
The game is free to play and download - you can play the game completely free, if you want to. However, as has become normalized in the gaming industry over the last decade, the game also includes a cash shop where you can spend money you earn in-game or real life money if you want to skip the tedious fishing trips for profit.
The game is not going to force you to buy anything - however, the amount - and types - of fish you catch depends on the gear you have. So it can become very tempting to take the easy (and expensive) way out by using your credit card.
If you are a sucker for real life items and merchandise, then Fishing Planet also has you covered. From their online shop, you can buy fishing rods and reels, as well as accessories like cups, thermo bottles, and hats with the game’s logo on it.
Conclusion
Fishing Planet is a realistic simulation game that lets you relax by the lakeside while you bop for your next catch.
The social aspects of the online multiplayer game is well implemented, with the ability to chat with people while you fish, if you choose to do so.
The weather system and day/night cycles bring a strategic element to the simple game and switches things up.
The game is free to download and play but might end up implicitly forcing you to purchase in-game items with real life money in order to be the best fisher possible. But as always, this is of course up to you and how you prefer to play your games.
