Zen Koi Pro 4+

Refreshing!

I have played ZK1 ZK2 and now ZKPro and I love all of them. Depending on how you play the game will probably decide which you like most.
I prefer ZKP. It’s a true zero stress experience with all the restrictions removed.
My only concern now is that I might move through the ZKP game too fast!
I hope that the same seasonal and event patterns will be added in future upgrades. I would be sad if the game experience is finite and ultimately ends with no path forward once current patterns are completed. I would be more likely to upgrade patterns in ZKP with the lower stress environment.

Hello, thank you so much for your in-depth review!

To What Point?

While I love the ability to instantly hatch my eggs and having so many egg slots, this version of Zen Koi really takes away features. I personally could care less about the social aspect, but the lack of events or season koi really feels unjustified. This is supposed to be the pro version of zen koi, so why does it feel like it has less than the free-to-play versions? I love collecting things, but I would also like to feel rewarded for it. The lack of anything to do with your dragon points really makes the dragon points worthless. Honestly, it feels like they would’ve been better off making the original games have an offline option (you don’t really need internet to swim, breed, and ascend). They could’ve even done a premium option for hatch times and the slots and even the new shiny/metallic koi. This version of the games really feels like a hit and a miss, because ultimately it does not feel like a pro version at all.

very disappointing

I was really excited for this game, and I am enjoying it. However, they cut a lot that was in the free version. There’s no pond, no friends, no daily quests. I’m hoping they add seasonal koi that are in the free version, but I’m not holding my breath. I’m very disappointed. With how much they left out, it feels like half of the free version. I don’t know if I can recommend buying this. edit: I just saw the developer’s response to someone else, saying there’s no social features because it’s an offline game. I don’t know why it can’t have online features with the option to play offline. I really thought this would be a replacement of the free version, not a companion.

Hi there, thanks for writing a review! Zen Koi Pro is based off the original Zen Koi game, thus features from ZK2 will not be included. We aimed to make it more streamlined and focused on Koi collecting, without worrying about any internet connection as well. We hope you'll continue to play it as a companion game alongside ZK2, which will continue to be supported as well.
