78/100

Ice Fishing Derby Premium is a masterclass in 'cozy' gaming. It doesn't try to be a high-octane sports sim; instead, it captures the quiet, methodical tension of sitting on a frozen lake. The physics of the line and the 'tension' gauge during a catch are spot on. You have to be patient, wait for the right nibble, and then time your pull perfectly. It’s surprisingly tactical, especially when you're deciding which lure to use for specific depths.

The 'Premium' tag is well-earned hereβ€”the absence of intrusive ads and the inclusion of all lakes from the start makes for a much smoother experience than the free version. The sound design is particularly atmospheric, with the whistling wind and the crunch of snow underfoot making you feel like you're actually out in the wilderness. It’s a perfect game for a rainy afternoon, offering a slow-paced but rewarding loop of catch-sell-upgrade.

The ad-free version of Ice Fishing Derby: It's a five day fishing derby with a twist. The forecast for the first day is pretty nice, but it's going to get much, much colder as the days go by. Start each day at the bait shop to get the tackle you need. Catch bluegills, crappie, perch, walleyes and northern pike. At the end of each day you'll collect cash at the weigh-in for the fish you've caught. Be sure to earn enough to pay for a portable shelter and heater or you're not likely to survive. Start with some basic gear and catch some panfish, then work your way up to catching the bigger fish. Once you have the necessities you might get yourself a sonar flasher or even an underwater camera system so you can see what's happening under the ice. Your goal is simple: Survive the tournament, and earn as much money as possible. Other fishermen may offer you some interesting trades out on the lake, but be careful what deals you accept!


Requires iOSΒ 12.0 or later. Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPodΒ touch.
