These "magic" fish appear randomly as you continue to breed different species of fish. When breeding the fish, you have to discover the seven "magic" fish that are hidden throughout the game. They've also included different types of food, fish eggs, and research material to help you to really manage and develop your fish correctly.īack to the breeding portion of the game, Fish Tycoon also includes a fun little mini game as well. There's almost a large amount of supplies and such that you can purchase to spice up your tanks. Graphics look decent enough as well (the best being the actual fish tanks themselves). The sounds and music aren't anything to write home about, but they do what they need to and fit the game just fine. For everything that this game comes with you'd expect to pay at least twice that much (especially when compared to other pricey games that don't have half of what Fish Tycoon is loaded with). In short, if a virtual fish game is what you like to play, Fish Tycoon should absolutely be on your IPhone/IPod Touch.įor only $1.99 this game is well worth that price. If that's not your thing and you just want to mess around and grow and sell fish casually, the game is built for that too. If you're interested in the genetic side of things, it really is a complex and challenging game to play. The game also appeals to just about everyone. You will breed a different type of fish almost every time, which is great because it keeps the game feeling new each time you open up the app. The amount of fish species to choose from is easily the game's top feature. There's also a fun feature that allows you to beef up the advertising of your store to help draw in more customers because surprise, surprise.without money, you're pretty much just watching a bunch of fish swimming around in a tank. These range from fish eggs, plants, and one of those little scuba diver guys too. Although this is a great element to the game, it does have its drawbacks as well (this is discussed further in the BAD section of the review).Īside from the ability to have the game continue when closed, Fish Tycoon comes with a supplies page that allows you to purchase a multitude of different things. Your fish continue to grow and flourish even when you have the app closed down, which is a really cool feature to be honest.
The main feature that this game includes has got to be the real-time simulation. Think The Sims, only with fish instead of people and a pet store instead of a house.that's basically Fish Tycoon in a nut shell.or in this case, an aquarium (side note: I am aware of how bad that joke is.and I don't care). Come back to the game hours later to find your fish fully grown and ready to breed and/or sell. With over 400 species of fish to discover, this game provides you with hours of gameplay and entertainment.Īs mentioned, this is a real-time virtual simulation game that keeps running even when you close down the application. Grow, breed, and sell different species of fish in this real-time virtual aquarium that is Fish Tycoon.
