Our Expert Score

85/100

Koi Farm is a beautiful exercise in genetic experimentation. It takes the simple concept of a fish pond and adds a surprisingly deep breeding algorithm that makes every new hatchling feel like a discovery. There is something profoundly relaxing about watching your koi glide through the water, especially when you've finally bred that one specific pattern you've been aiming for.

The UI is incredibly clean, staying out of the way of the visuals. It feels less like a 'game' and more like a digital hobby. The ability to export your koi as high-resolution images or even 3D models is a stroke of genius, turning your in-game progress into something you can share or keep. If you enjoyed games like Neko Atsume but wanted something with a bit more 'science' behind it, Koi Farm is perfect.

Managing Your Pond

As your pond fills up, you'll need to decide which koi to keep and which to release. Focus on keeping the 'purest' genes for the traits you are most interested in to ensure your future hatches are of high quality.
