What people are saying
Mixed reactions: fun co-op chaos ruined by bugs and AI slop.
Many players enjoy the silly, chaotic co-op gameplay, calling it fun with friends and a relaxing mix of fishing and chaos. However, nearly all positive reviews note the game is buggy and janky, with some calling it repetitive. [1][2][6]
Negative reviews overwhelmingly cite game-breaking bugs, severe lag, and crashes that make the game unplayable after a few hours. Many also criticize the use of AI-generated music and assets, calling the game an abandoned cash grab. [3][20][22][25]

60 of 231 · most liked firstAfter 4.7 hours in the game here is where I think its at. It has potential. When you aren't experiencing game breaking bugs the game is quite fun. I'd give it a month or so for the dev to fix the bugs. If you are going to play save often. Here are some of the bugs i experienced. Bugs: Physics issues with buildable objects taking me down to 2 FPS because they are flying all over the map. Had to abandoned save. Ultrawide is wonky. You can see things that you shouldn't be able to see. FOV slider…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fell for the tiktok ads i saw. The game is barely playable, until it completely breaks itself. I have a column of bugged fish models that persists EVEN THROUGH NEW GAMES and it tanks my FPS. the game is literally unplayable after 2 hours for me.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →game is fun but has bad AI music and game breaking glitches by 4h you wont be able to play most likely
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →DO NOT BUY. Game is filled with game-breaking bugs and crashes and hasn't received updates since launch. I even asked a moderator in the discord "are the devs still working on this or?" and they replied with "nope". Cool concept, but this game is for sure a cashgrab rugpull. If they improve the game I'll change my review.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is simply unplayable. It ran well for the first couple of hours. After you get upgrades and you bring that aspect it the game is unplayable. It lags, I changed every setting possible to the lowest setting and it did not help. It is unfortunate because it has a ton of potential and was a really fun game while it was playable.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →was enjoying just a goofy game when all of a sudden I started listening to the music in game and I noticed that is sounded familiar. Then I realized it was a.i generated music. the store page says its "heavily edited" but as someone who isnt super into music even I could tell which ruined the mood for me. its a slippery slope if we let something like this pass and if I wasnt over the 2 hours played I would refund
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Is it janky? Yes. Are there bugs? Definitely. Did I laugh while everything broke? Constantly. Not a fishing sim. Not a shooter. Somehow both. Played with friends. Silly, chaotic, buggy, but fun. 7/10 — would commit aquatic war crimes again.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Underwhelming. Generic AI Slop music. Unintuitive gameplay loop. Simple review for a simple game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →DO NOT BUY THIS GAME, i feel like its a scam, so many bugs not even close to a release. this game will crash most systems, My Pc is a AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D 16-Core Processor {4.30 GHz) Win 11 64.0 GB (GPU) 5080GTX this game can crush my system when i get a few gnomes out, no way to get to the end of the game, the game is fun to start with but turns into a auto clicker, i wish they tested the game, its not much better than the demo, they need to fix a hell of alot of bugs. this game was…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Should have looked at this game longer than 3 seconds. An abandoned, AI, cash grab is a accurate description of this game. I can forgive a lot of things but lack of support or transparency on the direction of the game is the line that I draw.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a good and fun game for friends to play cooperatively, and the price is reasonable, so I recommend it for co-op play
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First few hours were fun, once i got further the lag was very apparent. The lag I can live with since that can be improved over time. Most recent update broke my save and left me with a black screen. The Devs released a hotfix today in which they stated they fixed the black screen issue but it did nothing. Since this game promotes you to AFK farm, I am unable to refund this mess. BE WARNED.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →At first i thought it could be a lot of fun when i saw this. Sadly i dont have any fun after playing for longer than an hour. So i decided to give it back and ignore this game. Just buy some better incremental games if you want to have fun. Since the achievements are super easy maybe its something for Achievement hunters but i would recommend only buying on sale. the price for the game in this state is just way too high. I wasnt able to complete it in aroung 1,5h. You would probably need…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game starts fine, even enjoyable....... till you realize that both music and code are AI, maybe even the idea is AI, i don't care if you use AI your game, but please make it playable, some stuff are really obvious to fix (i say that as someone who studied programming and tried to make a game) but you still ignore these issues, cheap cash grab. if you are planning to buy it anyway, at least make sure you return it before the return time limit.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Horrible launch. The game wont start. All comments on the discord regarding the loading screen fix are super old. This means that the developers known of this issue for a long time and have not fixed it. Do yall remember the fallout 76 launch? well that is the same. Nothing left to do but to refund.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →do not waste your money on this game. it was on sale for like 2-4$, original 10$ and at first glance it gives you Peak, RV, R.E.P.O Vibes and just don't fall for it. its fun for about 10 minutes then you realize the awful garbage they sold you. -its Ai at its peak, the Assets, the music and the dialogue. not even done well, weve seen tons of games be succesful lately using ai for art but this game just took it 5 steps further and made most of their content with it. -All Achievements popped…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this is not a finished game! i really love silly games like this, but the closest explanation for me would be "vibe coding", but i don't know. maybe the "devs" just really suck at writing code. performance is abysmal and the game heated up my pc more than ANY other game (even with realistic hd graphics) to a point i got actually scared. the system requirements must be a placeholder or they just rolled a dice there. the ingame fps limit does nothing at all, changing keybinds only works for…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game has a lot of potential but the bugs and balancing make it unplayable after 2-3 hours. You can basically break the game by placing a lot of gnomes and turrets but be warned there is EXTREME lag.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →awful game tbh dont bother crashes isnt fun no updates
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just bug filled slop
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game feels halfway thought out. The second and third zones are empty feeling compared to the first. There’s nothing new/incremental in these zones, so the feeling of progression is low. Lots of bugs as of time played. There are also things that aren’t bugs, but don’t make a whole lot of sense or aren’t explained well. If this was an early access game with a clear roadmap it would be worth the buy, but given the low frequency of updates for simple bug fixes, that does not seem to be the case.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I dont usually write reviews but I felt like I had to for this one To start off the game constantly glitches out and you cant do any of the parkour challenges without getting into an infinite falling loop cycle. Sometimes when you buy items like gnomes your game just breaks and you cannot place items down anymore. Even if you reload fully, you go to shoot and you reload again making you miss fish. When playing with friends the latency is atrocious. I placed down gnomes on my buddies world and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Слушайте, это просто какой-то угар, а не рыбалка! Я сначала думал, что будет обычный скучный симулятор с поплавком, но когда мне дали в руки автомат чтобы "ловить" карасей, я просто выпал. Мы с пацанами в коопе так не ржали сто лет, когда пытались минометом попасть в какую-то редкую рыбину. Визуал приятный, атмосфера в лагере с гитарой ваще душевная, прям реально отдыхаешь душой после работы. Конечно, физика местами странная и баги проскакивают, но за такой безумный геймплей можно все простить.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bought this game a while ago and the only reason i finished it was because I want to 100% my library. I never left the first area, I hit lvl 23 and stage 34/50 in the first area. I didn't collect all the fish, locations, guns, or cards. The game is, in my opinion, a FANTASTIC concept, but executed very very poorly here. Many many bugs and very confusing things happen in the game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →buggy and very repetitive didnt finish it but to anoyed to do it
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun for 1h, then the gimmick is over as automation makes it a boring idle game. Multiplayer breaks very quickly due to assets not disappearing and tanking performance to single fps numbers.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The whole game grinds to a halt when you place your first couple buildings
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game should have released as Early Access as that is the state the game feels it is. The quests are buggy most of the time, remove the "Kill 5 Gnome quests", or just give the option to abandon quests, since there's only like 10 that loop over and over again. The building mechanic doesn't work like everyone assume it would, no point in building. Add more placements for crates and allow us to create water structure by letting us building piers and such. Will check back in like 6 months maybe.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just a grind. No point in leaving the starter gun and rod and upgrading the turrets dont really feel like youre doing anything. Only perk is its easy to 100%
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is great and all, but the developers forgot to disclose something VERY important. This game uses AI generated music. The music isn't even good either, its like c tier stuff at best. I understand music can be expensive to commission, but they could have used some royalty free music. Do not buy this game if you are against Gen AI.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not the best fishing game there is and a bit silly but for 10USD you get a funny albeit repetitive game. Main reason for recommending is this is an easy one to 100 percent for fellow achievement autists.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's fun when you can play it but unfortunately thats about 20% of the time. I'm guessing it wasn't just the music that was AI generated... lazy bastards. I simply cannot recommend in its current state.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →do not buy this game it's a cash grab game it stgopped updating leaving a ton of bugs and i meant that a TON of bugs
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →stay away from this, no matter what. makes it seem like a relaxing game, but its buggy and just trash. Ai slop worthy for sure. got this back in February 26, and it is almost may of 2026 and no update or fixes. cash grab of a game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →UNBELEIVABLE BROKEN AND NOT READY FOR THE STEAM STORE wish i could refund, i cant believe this is allowed on steam in its current state. honestly its criminal. highway robbery. i wouldnt play this game if it was gifted to me
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pmdk23 released Fish Hunters, a co-op action game where fishing turns chaotic fast. Rods, guns, friends, and lots of “what if?” 🎣 See more: www.reddit.com/r/IndieDev/c... #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame
unlabelledView post →This game feels like it should’ve launched in early access. It was fun with friends for the price, but barely worth sticking with once glitches hit and affected gameplay.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →LIVE💙 Got access to the playtest for Fish Hunters Silly fishing game time starts now 🐟🔫😎 #vtuber #envtuber www.twitch.tv/xenoxerah
unlabelledView post →Can be fun for a few hours and it's a cool premise, but it hasn't been updated in months and is very buggy.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cash grab. You have seen almost everything 1 hour in. I bought day 1 and still feel cheated.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun for a couple minutes. Laggy, unsupported, incomplete. Don't buy.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I would love to continue playing this game, but it has a game ending bug that has been present for over two months. As soon as I reel in a fish at the second map, the game closes to the main menu. I am unable to proceed any further in this game
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →game broke within the first 2 minutes of playing and now every time i launch all i see is a brown box and the game is unplayable even after uninstalling
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game breaking, progress removing bugs galore. As of writing this review I had the latest patch version that dev claims addressed critical bugs but I still encountered a progress-removing (wasted 40 minutes) bug on what is currently the latest version. There have been no further patches as of February 8th. Dev response doesn't make sense given I had the latest patch. Game was not bug tested prior to full release. Suspect there is also AI code hence dev unable to fix. Do not buy.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Perfect relaxing mix of fishing and chaos! Great fun with friends at camp.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →doesnt work, slop
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →yea i feel like i got scammed this game just doesnt update i bought bc it was hyped asf
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First impression was bad. After about an hour it kinda got me. Then after the second hour I was bored. AI music, bad art design, very limited gameplay and bugs on bugs. Some sort of early access rubbish IMO.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am disappointed to see that AI was involved in the making of this game, however minor. It could be something unique and fun, but its presence undermines any enjoyment I could take away from the game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game breaking bug still in the game. My save now just loads into a black screen and is unplayable. Update (02/13/2026): Gave it another try at the direction of developer. Bug persists.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is poorly balanced. It's too grindy and becomes repetitive after just a short time. Technical issues, like disappearing turrets and gnomes that won't fish, further ruin the gameplay—or what’s left of it, because past a certain level, the FPS just goes on vacation to another game. Upgrades are expensive, but you barely feel any difference in return. The quests are on the level of a 5-year-old and force you to use gear that I replaced as soon as I could. Also, the cosmetics are just…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Had to restart my save game from nothing twice. Once because it bugged out 40 minutes into my session and it does not auto save and did not keep my save I had saved about 20 minutes in. THEN they patched the game for a loading screen fix and now that save game I COULD play is no longer loading properly and just goes to a black screen. Also, no mouse invert settings for camera etc but the game is first person.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →5 minutes into the game, the reeling HUD just disappeared forever and saveloading or restarting the game didn't fix this, so I had to start a new game. 25 minutes later, I tried to open the atlas and my whole HUD disappeared and I couldn't even pause the game to save it, so I ALT+F4'd and lost 15 minutes of progress. And supporter pack offers a golden AK gun (which should be a skin) which can't be upgraded, so it's even worse than the normal AK which is the first gun you get. I really like the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →has potential, but needs some more work, for example, reloading weapons sometimes require the reload animation to play twice, for example, if you hold down the shoot button, after you fully empty a magazine, it will reload your weapon with one less bullet, and then proceed to reload again, and only then will it let you shoot once more, (no clue if thats an issue with just the AK47, or not, but thats the gun that gave me the most issues with that bug,) also, ammo can not be manually stacked, so…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game randomly crashes, my save is corrupted. Too many bugs to charge people for this game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fish Hunters: Most Lethal Fishing Sim Pmdk23. Steam disclosure -y
unlabelledView post →Extremely repetitive after the first hour. No real challenge. Has horrible performance making me put it on lowest settings to have no stutters even though higher setting said I was maxing out monitor refresh rates.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game crashes every like 5 minutes. Not worth it unless they update it
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Honestly this game is just insane. It feels so wrong but you get lost in the game and you find yourself listening to Ai brain-rot music while you max out a double barrel shotgun shooting the 400 fish you just launched into low earth orbit along side a drunken gnome while stepping on a whoopie cushion trying to min max the amount of money you can make just to realize you have spent 3 hours not doing a single quest. S tier
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has way too many bugs, it shouldn't have been released yet. simple things, like Co-op with friends not working, a turret constantly shooting a tree, half the turrets not shooting unless you get close to them, Random kicks even with a save and having progress lost. Sound bugs, and tons more. Don't waste your time until they fix some issues.
