You'd be better off with River King's sister title Rune Factory, which has a little bit of fishing alongside a much better main RPG.
You'll love:
- Some cute creatures
- Babbling brooks and forest sounds
- Playing Rune Factory instead
You'll hate:
- Stylus confusion reigns
- Unimaginative fishing controls
- Graphics not up to usual DS standard
Daav from NoobFeed.com writes reviews at random as well. Here's one for Harvest Fishing, which expectedly revolves around fishing...a lot. The cutesy appeal isn't all that bad, but truly lacks definition to overcome its repetitive nature.
River King: Mystic Valley is a nice interlude from serious RPGs with heavy plotlines and frustrating mechanics. It definitely isn't a game for everyone, but for those looking for a change or fans of the series will definitely want to check this one out. It won't make any waves and it's much simpler than it needs to be, but thankfully its charm does overcome its flaws.
CheatCC writes: "The Legend of the River King RPG fishing titles take players through a world of lakes, rivers, ponds, and swamps in search of the great fish, River King. This time around, RK: MV utilizes the power of the DS by employing both the touch screen controls and the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection."
