What players say

Players call Desktop Fishing a relaxing idle game that runs in the background, though getting all achievements takes hundreds of hours. Some note it can interfere with other games like Arknights: Endfield. Long-time players praise its coziness but lament that missed event outfits cannot be obtained later.
