The Gacha Gaming Thread - Other Gaming Forum

RR529 · 2022-04-02T02:48:05+00:00

Excuse me while I raise the flame shields & batten down the hatches for raising this topic on a core gaming site... Ahem. While I NEVER spend any money on them, I do like tooling around with the occasional gacha game on my phone during my lunch hour at work (& other such downtime where I don't have my Switch or laptop on hand). Here's what I'm currently messing around with. Senran Kagura: New Link Yes, that Senran Kagura has a mobile game (the title screen art is changed once or twice a month to highlight the featured new units). This is my "main" gacha at the moment. As a turn based affair, it's the easiest one to just turn your mind off with and do some grinding to pass the time. I also like the fact that the action is presented by full scale 3D character models instead of 2D art or chibi models (although you do get a detailed 2D art card for each version of a character you have). While ultimately toned down from what the series offers on console, I'll admit it allows for much more fan service than I'd expect from a mobile game (there's no clothing destruction, however some of the available outfits are little more than string bikinis & it still features very noticeable "physics"). The current home screen, which oddly enough reflects a current collaboration with the Ring horror franchise (it has a ton of collabs, though most are from franchises with similar appeal. I started playing in November, and it's had Gantz , To Love Ru , Ikkitousen , Queen's Blade , & Dead or Alive collabs between then & now). It usually features the girls in your current team lounging around. Action Taimanin Because apparently the girls of Senran aren't the only lovely ninjas around (luckily the Android version is apparently identical to Steam in terms of content, however it's heavily censored on iOS platforms, which includes both added clothing & even reduced bust sizes for certain characters). It has more of an action setup which is a bit more cumbersome when it comes to playing on phone, however there is still some fun that shines through. Honestly the character design is stylish enough I think it could transition fairly well into a proper character action game (it is available on Steam in addition to Android/iOS , so I assume you could play with a controller that way). The home screen, which displays your current character (characters? I only have one at the moment). Interestingly, new playable characters aren't up to gacha, as you have to save up the "premium" in game currency to buy characters outright (although they require a lot of said currency). Instead, gacha is relegated to obtaining new weapons & stat/effect enhancing "support" characters. Mario Kart Tour Need I explain? This is probably the one most of you are already familiar with, being a much simplified take on a proper Mario Kart experience. I'll admit I had jumped off it for awhile, but I've recently came back so I can refamiliarize myself with it's available tracks that way I can guess/look forward to what might be added to MK8D's "Booster Course" pack in the future (think I'm looking forward to "Waluigi Pinball"). It has a real understated home screen with not much going on in terms of neat little touches. So, what gacha's are you playing?

It's actually a popular genre, though maybe more so in Asia than US. The upcoming game apparently has over 33 million pre-registrations.

@Greatluigi You resurrected this thread the day before Nintendo Life Made a gacha article 🤔 Is it international gacha week or something?

@FishyS just a odd coincidence.
Plus I bet this thread will die soon for a couple months.

I've been playing Infinity Nikki now that it's out. Pretty amazing game with BotW vibes while still being a fashion game. Tbh it would be better if it wasn't a gacha game, but still fun so far ignoring the gacha. IGN nominated it as one of their GotY options.

@Greatluigi That one seems to be lost in the same black hole that has the Switch Genshin port. I'm really curious if the various mobile + multi-platform F2P games will get ported to Switch 2 or not.

Well this is a huge turn of events.
Shame, blue archive but with swords is a neat idea but I doubt they wanna keep going with THAT idea.
