Dredge mobile review – “A magnificent port in a foggy, Lovecraftian storm”

The fishing mini-game on mobile requires tapping the screen at the right moment. The inventory system allows for easy tapping, dragging, and placing of items. The game involves fishing in a peaceful setting during the day, but at night, a fog rolls in with dangerous creatures. Upgrading your boat with resources allows for better equipment, but overconfidence can lead to disaster. The game features excellent music, sound effects, animations, and world design. The characters encountered have compelling stories, and the mutated fish descriptions are vivid. Some islands in the game are less compelling than others, with minor irritations like vines obstructing paths.
