Thunder Fishing August 2023

First Impressions

At first glance, Thunder Fishing is pretty similar to other fish table games, at least in terms of design and appearance. It’s set underwater with aquatic creatures like flounder, sharks, and manta rays swimming by. The point of the game is the same too: capture fish and burst bubbles to win Gold Coins and prizes.

However, that’s where the similarities end. The setting changes with each round, but all are themed after ancient Greece, with ruined columns and fallen statues littering the sea floor. The special icons follow the same theme, including the Grecian helmet and volcanos.

The controls can be found at the bottom of the interface. To the left, you have your running Gold Coin balance and the plus and minus buttons to adjust your buy-in. You can also choose your weapon of choice – a cannon for near shots or a laser for precision shots. There’s also a boost button here. The hamburger icon (three stacked lines) at the top right gives you access to things like volume and your account information.

How to Play

No Thunder Fishing review would be complete without an introduction on how to play. It’s relatively simple. First, choose the table you want – there are 12. Next, pick your position. Taken positions are noted in gold while open positions are black. Just click an open position and you’re taken directly to the table where you’ll compete against or team up with other players.

The sea floor teems with creatures – fish and manta rays swim by. Orcas and pufferfish make appearances. You’ll also see things that probably don’t belong underwater. There’s an eagle head in a bubble, as well as a bison. A wheel of fortune, helmet, and other special icons also appear.

Your job is to blast all of these things to win Gold Coins and power-ups. You can start with a single-shot cannon or a relatively weak laser, but the boost button lets you up the ante on your destruction with double cannons, super lasers, and bouncing bombs, to name just a few.

The fish species all yield Gold Coins when you capture them. The other icons give you special powers or open up unique mini-games. There’s a slot machine that deploys a one-spin slot game right there on the fish table, for instance.

The holy grail of the game is Thor, the god of thunder himself. He’ll make an appearance at some point, supported by a waterspout. It takes a lot to capture him, so train your weapon and don’t let up until he’s yours and you’ve won the prize.

Bonus Rounds and Special Features

Any Thunder Fishing review worth reading will give you details about the bonus rounds and special features here. There are quite a few, including Thor, Zeus, and the Thunder Buffalo, all of which grant multipliers (up to 2500x in the case of the buffalo) when they’re captured.

Other special features take the form of tools and weapons you unlock by blasting bubbles. Lava Strike, Guardian Fish, Deep-Sea Bomb, Piercing Drill, and Super Laser are all examples. There are also a couple of mini-games, including the bonus wheel, game machine, monster hunt, and fishing rush.

Tips and Tricks

The most important tip in this Thunder Fishing review is this: aim with care. Fish will get in the way of your shot, and everything moves. Sometimes the icons speed up or slow down. You’ll need to pay close attention to win big.

You also need to realize that every time you take a shot, you’re also buying in. Your stake can decrease pretty quickly, especially if you use the boost feature, so keep an eye on your balance. Once you’re out of Gold Coins, you’re out of the gameplay.

Conclusion

What’s the result of our Thunder Fishing review? It’s a fun, fast-paced fish game with beautiful graphics. It also includes enough special features, bonuses, and unique items that it’s substantially different from other fish games. We recommend you go ahead and play – but watch out for lightning!
