Rule with an Iron Fish for Android
I really enjoyed this game. The art is very beautiful, the fish are fun to catch and often silly, and the light and silly nature of the characters and story are great! I would recommend it as a quick and fun game to occupy your time for a weekend. It is flawed though, it's very short, it relies too much on an RNG formula instead of offering more options involving skill, and the dialog often feels random, often not making any sense at all. Still, it's very fun and I think anyone could enjoy it!
There was a time when games had heart and soul put into them. Back when games didnt sell because they had the words "mine" or "craft" in the name. Back when idle games were nonexistant and games that required 3 days for an upgrade were things of nightmares. This game reminds me of those days. Truely a diamond in the rough.
So much more than meets the eye, as you go through the game it opens up so much cool gameplay! I upped my rating because the game just gets so much better as you play! Update.. lowered a star because no cloud saving. So disappointed.
Wonderfully charming game. Its greatest strengths are the beautiful art design and quirky characters. If you want to relax and enjoy a few laughs, this game is perfect. The only downside is the uninspired, repetitive gameplay. Nevertheless, i enjoyed a dozen hours of it. Very worth it, highly recommended.
Fun game. Having issues swiping down when catching a fish near the bottom. Not registering my swipe. Other than that enjoying it! EDIT: That works. Didn't realize I could swipe anywhere. No issues now. Thanks
Gameplay is very fitting for mobile, progression is satisfying, but the core game-loop has little variety. Dialogue, bestiary text, and overall flavor are just fantastic, my personal favorite part, but the design kinda encourages you to skip through a lot of that to get to more fishing and grinding. Would love to see it iterated upon!
FIX THE SWIPE CONTROLS! I've lost out on over three-quarters of my rare catches because the swipes don't register a majority of the time. It's ruining an otherwise great game.
This game is surprisingly hilarious! The game play is simple but so addictive! The side quests are great and main quests don't take loads of time to accomplish. The characters are memorable and the interactions are fun! Excellent work!
Incredibly light-weight and addictive time killer! -1 star because of broken Google Play achievements support.
Relaxing like I was hoping for. The downswipe is a little finicky but otherwise no issues. Fun game!
I bought this game, because people said that there was a lot of stuff to do in the game, but I have yet seen this to be true. You fish, and you complete tasks. With that said, maybe I'm not far enough. I'm not saying its a bad game. I'm on the fourth Island though.
Downswipe often doesn't work when fishing near the bottom of the screen, which is frustrating when you've got a rare hooked since it essentially has a 25% chance to get away because of it.
Definitly a polished lite-rpg. I love that it has such good banter between the characters. This game is great. Thanks devs
The art is super cute, the puns are terribly hilarious, and it's pretty challenging. I love it
It's very repetitive. Couldn't get all the way through it. I only played it as much as I did to try and just finish it, not because I was enjoying myself.
This game is infinitely better than a "free" game. It is fun, great graphics, quickly addictive, and other then the cost of the game, there are no hidden fees. My new favorite game!!!!
Just what I needed after an intensely stressful month. I love how easy it is to play.
Great to see a paid app with none of the ads or pay to win rubbish. Well made game, collecting is fun with good rate of progression.
Super calming and super cute. Easy yet also challanging to fully master. Great game.
Love everything about it. Don't know if I've had more fun on my phone, and I've played a lot of phone games. I hope they make a second one!
Endlessly fishing the first fishing hole. I can't even use my back button to get out
Great Game Devs! But I can't seem to catch the penguin no matter what I do hopefully you get back to me soon!
A wonderfully humorous game that I enjoyed to the last bits. In fact, I have to go back in now to finish my fishbook.
Pay once and never more, a simple mechanic with lots to do, and characters that are as endearing as they are absurd. Thank you for this game.
Good game with no IAP. What all developers should strive to do.
Great little fishing game. Beautiful presentation, simple but fun gameplay.
Fun adictive time passer. Great sense of humor. More, please!
Easy to understand,just challenging enough to keep things exciting. And very cute.
A little shallow, but an excellent time-waster. Worth the price.
Way better than you expect.
Could use variation but is overall a fun and silly game
The game looks so beautiful and incredibly fun to play! Most definitely worth the money!
An amazingly inventive fishing game with fun humor, creative fish, and a delihhtful pirate motif
Nice game with cheeky humor and beautiful visuals. I hope you like fishing.
A fun little game, beatable in a few sittings, no ads. Great fun!
Fun, polished, not overbearingly humorous. Definitely worth a few bucks!
A fun and addictive game with beautiful graphics and music! I love the fishing mechanic. Great humor sprinkled all over the game to keep it light and casual. Dont let that fool you though, this game has alot of depth. Great job by the devs for making such a high quality product!
While I'm normally a fan of big beefy strategy titles, mobile platforms are better suited to something quick. Rule with an Iron Fish fits well onto smaller time slots, letting you catch a fish or twenty depending on how long you have. Absence of additional micro transactions past purchase is nice.
I meant to do work.. instead I've been pirate fishing for 2.5 hours...

Rule with an Iron Fish is an awesome game if you're looking for a casual game with great graphics and light RPG/collecting mechanics. The dialog in game as well as item descriptions are lighthearted and fun, the music is nice and the gameplay is very relaxing. It's perfect for playing in short bursts since there's tons of side quests or you could binge play it if that's more your style. Also it's a one time purchase with no in app purchases which for the price listed it's definitely worth it.
