Our Expert Score
Ice Fishing Derby Premium is a masterclass in 'cozy' gaming. It doesn't try to be a high-octane sports sim; instead, it captures the quiet, methodical tension of sitting on a frozen lake. The physics of the line and the 'tension' gauge during a catch are spot on. You have to be patient, wait for the right nibble, and then time your pull perfectly. It’s surprisingly tactical, especially when you're deciding which lure to use for specific depths.
The 'Premium' tag is well-earned here—the absence of intrusive ads and the inclusion of all lakes from the start makes for a much smoother experience than the free version. The sound design is particularly atmospheric, with the whistling wind and the crunch of snow underfoot making you feel like you're actually out in the wilderness. It’s a perfect game for a rainy afternoon, offering a slow-paced but rewarding loop of catch-sell-upgrade.
Features
Ad-free, premium gameplay experience
Realistic fish AI and fighting mechanics
Dynamic weather and day/night cycle
Comprehensive tackle and gear upgrade system
Tips & Walkthrough
Don't just drill anywhere. Use your depth finder to locate drop-offs and underwater structures. Most high-value fish like Walleye tend to congregate near these edges during the dawn and dusk hours.
Gameplays
Compete against AI or online leaderboards in timed derbies. You have 10 minutes to catch the heaviest total weight. Strategy is key—do you go for many small fish or wait for one monster?

I love this game.
Tue Oct 01 2024 mjjcharfThis game is awesome too play and overall has a sweet feel to it, a couple things i do wish for though would be being able to see your fish on the ice, more baits maybe some lures, and a more expansive play through, more maps, maybe different kinds of tournaments. I read through some of the reviews and seen you were coming to come out with a #2, I enjoy the game a lot and hope me buying the premium helps support you in making the next one.
Funny and fun if you pay attention
Sun Mar 08 2020 haus blendAlthough it's always fun to have more more more, if you focus too much on wanting more fish, more equipment, and more locations, then you will miss one of this game's best features: humor. Turn up the volume and listen to dem udder guys talking while out on da ice, ya know? This game is actually very well done. Don't let the rather basic graphics fool you. Knowledge about real ice fishing will improve your game success.
Love it!!!
Tue Feb 09 2021 Brayden evens22342I absolutely love this game! I really hope you guys come back and update it to where we can catch lake trout or even just more species of fish! Please update it! I would love to have more fish to catch and have more fun overall! But other than more fish, the game is amazing! 5 out of 5 all day!

Gets boring fast
Sun Feb 05 2023 Gannster2015Games alright, only problem I have with the actual game is that before you have a fish finder bites are way slower. But the game does get boring very fast
