    Legend of the Skyfish is an adventure game that's clearly influenced by some of the biggest names of the genre. While the game does a good job at presenting a simple gameplay that fits well with less experienced players, its lack of a higher challenge and lacklustre art style, as well as the inability to create its own space end up harming the game's prospects and make it a rather bland work.

    Legend of the Skyfish is a game with potential, but unclear direction. It lacks incentive, and its story feels like too small pieces of something more. There is some variety on offer between the islands, but a tedious drawn-out tutorial-esque start dampens the experience.

    If Legend of the Skyfish drops to its app price of $3.99 I’d have an easier time recommending it for its good-looking presentation and fishing pole approach to combat. But even then, my recommendation would be limited to those looking for a straightforward game and willing to tolerate the muffled music and repetition.
