Gameplay
In Nice Day for Fishing we watch the action from the side.
Exploration and fishing battles
We explore the land of Azerim, specifically the vicinity of the Honeywood village, from which the main character originates. The protagonist named Baelin explores the nooks and crannies of the world - both the surface and underwater depths. The main character tries to do what he does best, which is... fishing. This activity, which we associate with relaxation, has been presented here in the form of intense skirmishes.
Apart from regular enemies, much more powerful bosses stand in our way. We can ensure our wins by using the appropriate bait, launching precise attacks, and making use of the best possible fishing equipment, led by rods and lines. Replacing our gear with better things or upgrading them allows us to face increasingly greater challenges.
Character and town development
As we progress, we not only get to know the Honeywood area and its residents better, for whom we carry out quests, but we also develop Baelin. In addition to increasingly better rods and lines, the protagonist acquires a magnetic hook, which allows him to fish out treasures hidden in wrecks resting on the bottom, as well as a drill that allows him to dig tunnels and create additional passages.
Our progress is also reflected in the changing appearance of Honeywood, which we are gradually rebuilding, gaining access to new missions and equipment elements. The icing on the cake is the possibility of making offerings to the fishing deity, in exchange for blessings, and consequently - improving skills.
Story
The main character of Nice Day for Fishing is a fisherman named Baelin. The protagonist so far had only been an independent character. Unfortunately local heroes began to disappear under mysterious circumstances. Now it is his job to defend the village of Honeywood.
Graphics
The two-dimensional graphics in Nice Day for Fishing were created using pixel art technique.
