Russian Fishing 4 ( Russian Original title: Русская Рыбалка 4 ) is an RPG - Simulation of a Russian developer.
About the game
It was released in June 2017 as the successor to the game Russian Fishing 3, initially in Russian-speaking countries. Via social networks, it quickly aroused strong interest in Central Europe and other countries. Since autumn 2017, RF4 has been offered in an increasing number of other languages (including German), each with its own player communities and management team. The game is available both as a standalone version and via the online gaming platform Steam and can be downloaded and played for free.
Like its predecessor, Russian Fishing 4 is based on a simulation . The focus is on the sport of fishing with its diverse forms and exercise options. The game world consists of a steadily growing number of standing and flowing bodies of water, which are modeled after real fishing regions in Russia / Siberia. Each body of water is a unique ecosystem with the associated fish fauna, vegetation and infrastructure. All virtual landscapes are also subject to dynamic weather conditions and a 24-hour day-night cycle.
The game engine Unity is used in the game .
action
RF4 has no specified action. First of all, the players get a basic set of fishing tackle and bait as well as access to some smaller, more manageable bodies of water whose banks are freely accessible and whose inhabitants they can capture. Sometimes boats are also available.
The fact that each species of fish has its own preferences, habits, daily activities and preferred habitats encourages players to explore and research the best fishing conditions and spots for each. The fish species do not always stay in one and the same place and can behave differently on two different bodies of water, so that the game has the same variability and dynamics that characterize real angling.
Growing knowledge of fish and their behavior therefore helps the player to constantly improve and optimize his chances of success.
Gameplay
Each fish caught by the player not only provides experience points in the respective fishing method, but can also be sold at a fish market or sometimes in a café by the water. The type and size of fish and a few other factors determine the achievable price. A game currency (“silver”) is earned with the sale of fish, which can then be spent on the purchase of fishing accessories, fishing equipment, access to higher quality waters and much more. A wide range of fishing equipment is available in the various shops that can be visited.
Instead of silver, “gold coins” can also be used to purchase. Gold is a premium currency that can be purchased for real money in order to buy equipment or bait without the time invested in saving and improving skills.
The players develop with each caught fish, collect experience points, reach higher levels and thereby unlock new skills and possibilities. Care is taken to ensure that the available range of equipment and application options grows gradually with the level of experience in order not to overwhelm beginners in view of the rich game content. There is currently no limit to the level of experience a player can achieve.
As soon as players have achieved a certain rank, they can explore and research higher-quality waters and their inhabitants.
With the activation of new skills, the players also specialize their character and can develop into a professional for certain fishing methods and / or fish species over time. The best anglers, their caught fish and the bait used are listed in a constantly updated table ranking system.
In addition to catching fish as a central play element, RF4 also offers other content that is related to the sport of fishing and also has an effect on it. Among them is the z. B. extraction and production of bait and the art of cooking, with which various other dishes and drinks can be made from basic foods, through which the player u. a. can influence the available power of his character. Since many components of the equipment are also subject to stress-related wear, repair or replacement must occasionally be considered in order to prevent rods, reels or lines from failing in the fight.
The game also offers social media functions through which players can communicate with one another and share and exchange items.
Another important element of the game is the opportunity to take part in competitions and offer them yourself. The players can compete against each other individually or in a team.
In a manual the different possibilities and methods on which the game principle of RF4 is based are described in detail.
development
RF4 was and is expressly offered as a title that is in development. Since the first release in 2017, a lot of game content has actually been added (new bodies of water, new fish species, new equipment, new player skills, etc.). This principle continues so that it can be assumed that RF4 will continue to receive new features and content in the future. However, this does not affect the playability at any time - RF4 has been a technically and content-wise unusually well-developed and always functional PC game at every stage of development since its release.
