You know what? This is actually just really relaxing, so I will keep playing this.

There are plenty of fishing titles on the Nintendo eShop, but yet no one seems very interested in them. The vast array of fishing games on Nintendo's digital services is grand, but it is hard to know which to pick. To deliver a no-nonsense judgment, I gave Reel Fishing Paradise 3D a try. Due to the efforts of Funbox Media, this premium title is now available to all and it proved a surprisingly good time.
At the center of this are the controls, which work great with the stylus in particular. You throw your line in the water, wait until something bites and rotate on the touch screen to reel in your result. That might sound simple enough, but it is here where they also throw the Circle Pad into the mix. You use it for direction, so that you can stop the fish from escaping in more realistic set-up. There is also an option to fully use button prompts, but the touch controlls felt all-in-all much more natural and pleasant.
As far as gameplay is concerned, things are kept mostly very easygoing and it isn’t tough to catch many fish. Reel Fishing Paradise 3D is not meant to be an action-packed adventure and opts for a more casual and relaxed look. There is a big selection of fish to catch, which are spread out across various locations. You are able to fish on your own somewhat, but there are also missions and this is where some frustration pops up. You will be tasked with catching certain types and amounts, and there are also some length challenges to be found. These were some of the more annoying bits, as it took me a while to capture anything of a significant size. The missions last you a good amount of hours though and these length challenges don't dominate the entire thing.
If there is anything against the title in a major regard, it isa lack of achievement doing these missions. You can try as many times as you’d like and you can even interrupt the regular course for a long time. The game doesn't punish you, which at first seems like a good thing. In the long run, however, it doesn't seem to push any major boundaries or push you forward in any sense. Your lines will break once in a while surely, but there is no real failure or victory moments here. This certainly isn't a game ideal for all, as it gladly takes its sweet time, so that is something to take seriously into account.
Reel Fishing Paradise 3D is not a bad game by any means, but it is oddly paced in places. The catching is easy, while some of the missions can take a while to complete. Either way, there is no sense of you becoming a victor. The presentation helps to shine the title to completion, with ambient music and some nice animation to boot. With the 3D effect on, you will explore the depths of ocean even better and see in a well-timed manner how the fish move. This in particular comes to life with the aquariums, where you can show your fish in the best ways possible. Whoever is searching for a fish-filled ride has nothing to lose with this latest member in the Nintendo eShop library.
