Family Fishing

About

Family Fishing turns the quiet pastime of casting a line into a chaotic competition. You control a family of anglers each vying to reel in the most valuable catch. Using the 3DS touch screen you flick and swipe to set baits avoid obstacles and tug at fish. The faster you act the better your chance to top the scoreboard. Each round mixes quick reflexes with a bit of luck as rare fish appear unpredictably. The game shines in its local multiplayer mode letting up to four players squabble over rods and reels. While the simple mechanics make it easy to pick up the competitive edge keeps matches lively. Despite a 2015 release date its mix of frantic fishing and family rivalry still feels fresh for a quick session. The portable format makes it a solid choice for casual showdowns.
