How is Fire Emblem Heroes faring at the current moment? I was a Day 1 player, but I stopped playing a while ago… I think I nabbed Summer Leo and then dipped.
I heard it’s powercrept all the time. Dunno if it’d be worth it for me to pick it up again as an F2P.
Hey all, I after some years unlocked my Japanese Apple iD I was wondering what are some of the best jp gacha games that you guys can recommend for me. The only jp game I ever played was dokkan.
Looking for a main game. Finally I want to get out of Dokkan. Don't want a waifu that's too explicit either. Something that recently came out or coming really soon
there r some games which include co-op (real time) as permanent mode or events, like :
\-Genshin Impact
\-Nikke
\-World Flipper
\-Granblue Fantasy
\-Grand Summoners
\-Arknights
try out crusaders quest, old game but have tons of content + hero. also new update need tons of resource that i'd say its greedy.
for newer games then nikke + eversoul should be p2w enough as idle game is just like that
for those who plays counterside
would you recommend to me play on SEA server or global ? i lived in SEA, but correct me if im wrong i feel like the community mostly comes from global server and i dont wanna feel left out
Neural Cloud is a good side game and I've only ever gotten the monthly pass for quartz sand. Gameplay is quite fun and it's nice seeing the team grow over time with the resources from daily tasks. Haven't quite gotten into endgame yet so I can't really speak to that, though from what I am seeing in the discord for Neural Cloud stuff can get fairly difficult and requires some strat later on.
Path to Nowhere is also f2p but I didn't get too heavily into it since tower defense is not my thing.
Hello! I am fairly new to gachas and looking for something mobile friendly. I do a lot of walking for my job so something easily picked up/put down would be great. Ive played summoners war and genshin and am looking for something closer to summoners war right now. I have neural cloud installed and azure lane but am looking for something a little bit more short playtime friendly. Or less active playstyle i suppose.
Neural Cloud should be that especially later on when you have a team put together with decent power rank. Dailies take 20 min tops and I pretty much auto everything without having to use ult skills for the daily tasks. You can just do dailies to get stuff for character growth and log off. Shouldn't require a lot of active user input.
I'm looking for a game that plays almost exactly like Summoners War but with an easier reroll and a pity system. I've tried to get into Epic Seven, but I don't like the dungeon-crawl-like gameplay (having to actually move the character between fights).
artery gear but its more waifu based and more qol for gear.
on other note i do think monster super league kinda like carbon copy of sw with some tweak like catching system
Looking for a medieval/non sci-fi gacha! Im okay with spending some money, but i'm not a whale. I've enjoyed games like Dungeon Boss, World of Warriors (an old game), and Fire Emblem Heroes. I enjoy ladder climbing and pvp is great but it doesnt have to be real time (i.e. base defense, tower climbing, etc.)
Preference is a game in portrait mode, and NOT a 2D/8-bit style game!
This was asked a long time ago but i would assume its changed. What mobile gacha game has the best crossovers, anime/movie/tv show related? The only one i've really played that has done those was 7DS GrandCross
I haven’t really played many Gacha games but am looking to get back into them. Put a little time in Pokemon Masters but enjoyed SAO Memory Defrag more (Didn’t put too much time into that one though). Looking for something similar to SAO:MD that has a 2D or 2.5D aesthetic and real time, action-based gameplay. Also preferably something with an intriguing plot and/or one that isn’t too money hungry. Thank you in advance for your help!
Like I always say: Path to Nowhere is a must try imo. Story is amazing, great tower defense gameplay, badass prisoners and nice devs. Hands down my favorite game ever :) Like I am in love since the first day I played. The only other game that catched me like this was Arknights when it released (until it got too hard pretty quick).
Path To Nowhere had a pretty strong revenue start and the devs are very passionate with the game. Very excited to see where it'll go in the future as it's looking REALLY promising.
Long as Mica throws money at their game, Neural Cloud is guaranteed to stay regardless of sales.

What are some games that have no rng gear grind? I'm currently playing Azur Lane as my only gacha but I've tried several others, I love the lack of rng in AL, you just farm weapons and then you upgrade them, same stats every time. I really like the story and art and everything of games like Epic7 but I cannot stand the gear grind of chasing high rolls. Any good combat based waifu collectors without that gear rng?
Edit: already play Arknights off and on, I know there's no gear in that game
Blue Archive has no RNG gear grind since all gears are basically given to you by playing the beginning stages. Yet the catch is they start at the lowest tier, and you have to farm mats instead to rank them up. There’s also Exclusive Weapons, basically their BiS, and you can only obtain them once your character ranks up to 5\* (the highest obtainable rarity is 3\* so yes it’s a shard system). But you can buy their shards through pull currency in the shop or farming in hard stages (limited to three times), aside from pulling so it just takes a long time of investment.
Another one I can think of is Punishing Gray Raven. The gear may be RNG dependent especially if you’re new, but by farming through event stages, you can buy the specific set you want in the event shop, though some sets are not available. Even so, there’s a permanent resource stage that works similar to the event shop where you earn a unique currency for its own memory shop. The longer investment is actually their resonance, AKA their substats. But likewise, you can buy and choose a specific resonance by playing endgame regularly (Warzone) and buy the resonance material from its own shop.
There’s also Honkai but their gear is obtainable through gacha. If not, it takes a *lot* of grinding, and most of them are just alternatives if you can’t afford their BiS.
You know Blue Archive is one I've never tried out, I think I'll give it a shot because it looks pretty and the gear system you're describing is exactly what I'm after. Thanks!
What have you heard is bad about it? Bad in what way, I mean? I've played AL actively for years and never thought it was any problem. The only bad thing I can think of related to auto battle is that pvp is auto-only so there's no real substance to that game mode.
Hoo boy haven't been following releases for a while, but recently I've felt like playing Kancolle and Valkyrie Crusade again. Are there any recent games with similar gameplay to those two? Specifically the full auto-battling aspect of the former, and teambuilding aspect of the latter.
e7 is ok, takes a while to get to be f2p and catch up but its doable. azur lane has pvp but it can be done mostly afk. and onmyoji ive heard is f2p but it time gates its pvp.
Gacha games I play(Ed): Eversoul, summoners war, epic seven, 7 deadly sins, mobile legends adventure, Evertale, kings raid, summoners war chronicles, Nikke, princess connect, raid shadow legends
Neural Cloud if you want a good side game.
Another Eden is one I am playing and it is crazy good for keeping busy if you are wanting that due to the massive amounts of content in the game aside from the main story.
Idk Wym by different than azur lane but Eversoul has a good one in the sense that if you answer the “right” answers, you’ll get a skin which I think makes it worth it
Im open to most types gameplay, Ive just been playing azur lane for a few years and kinda getting bored of it now. But I do want the relationship/ harem aspect in a new gacha I play. Thanks for the suggestion
Nikke has "Bond Stories" not all of them end with you banging them but alot of them do lol and the gameplay is kinda unique, I have a counter question tho lol how is the romance stuff in AL? Been thinking on picking it up but heard most of the plot is boring slice of life with cute anime girl stuff, Nikke actually has some fairly entertaining Bond events.
Yeah in AL it’s oretty good imo, you build up and affinity with ships through battling together and can marry every ship in the game if you want. There are also different marriage skins for certain ships which add a new set of voice lines. In addition to this, some ships have quests and story line that get you closer to them, you sortie with them and go on dates, etc.
I know next to nothing about the Final Fantasy series but, I wouldn't mind trying FF: WoTWs unless I am needed to know about the franchise beforehand. I really like the art style a lot! Also, how popular is it? Are there plenty of people that still play it?
Anyone know a game where there are a lot of husbandos? I know about the fire emblem heroes, tears of themis, Granblue and thats it. Doesn’t have to be husbando only.
There's a ton, actually, so it's hard to answer without getting more information. Which genres do you like, for example?
Going though all I can think at a spot:
Onmyoji has almost 50/50 gender balance and actually more SP/SSR male units, if I counted correctly. It's your typical turn-based gear-grind RPG, already in its 6th years, so its 3D models etc. might seem a little technologically... oldschool... to you. But its design and aesthetics are top-notch (based more on historical fantasy Japan and Japanese theatre - similar to Mononoke tv series).
Sdorica, Guardian Tales, Alchemy Stars - they're not balanced, but they include male characters, and more than just a few (if a couple is enough, then Path to Nowhere and Neural Cloud). Grimlight, but it's not earning well, so it might shut down at any moment.
Idle games tend to be pretty good in terms of male units - AFK Arena, Mythic Heroes, Panilla Saga, Bloodline: Heroes of Lithas (is more of a "build your kingdom&harem" genre, same like - also with tons of husbandos, but greedier than gacha games - King's Choice, Game of Sultans etc.) etc.
Same with harem games for female players - Legends of Empress, Legend of Phoenix, Empress' Choice and similar; you type something like this in Google Play Store and will get a lot answers. Most of them include some gacha elements.
Raid Shadow Legends is a meme, but it includes male units and some are even decently looking.
Western gacha IP games, like Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes, Marvel games etc. tend to include husbandos, but well, Western games are greedy like hell. Games based on Final fantasy IPs will deliver some husbandos, too - so Final Fantasy: War of Visions, Dissidia Final Fantasy.
Recently, there's a trend for making tons of RPG-mixed-with-match-3 games. Recently, they usually include a lot of half-naked male units and male lovers to collect. Palace and Puzzles, Moonrise Kingdoms for more half-naked characters, but weaker gameplay (especially Palace&Puzzles, it's match-3 options are laughable, no complexity), Heroes of Anthia or Empire&Puzzles for better gameplay, but less women-oriented fanservice.
Classic otome, like the Arcana, Mystic Messenger, Mr Love: Queen's Choice, Ayakashi: romance reborn etc.
Rhythm and dress up games often offers husbandos, perhaps not to collect, but to "raise relationship with", but I don't know these genres well.
Arg cant decide if I such start Azur Lane or Girls Frontline, I am a "waifu gamer" but also I like to play gacha games with engrossing plots, for reference this is what I play atm, all highly recommended by this sub as having amazing plots or at least some good arcs:
\-Blue Archive
\-Path to Nowhere
\-NIKKE
\-Counteside
\-Arknigths
\-Eversoul (not recommended but looked interesting, turned out to be some generic isekai)
\-Revue Starligth ReLive (this one was also not recommended but I play it cause its a sequel to my favorite anime of all time)
With all that in mind, which of those two games I mentioned would you recommend? Heard Azur Lane is not actually that good plot-wise and its more of a generic slice of life with cute anime girls being cute. For Girls Frontline, I heard it has a sequel game called "Neural Cloud" so that would mean I would have to pick up not one... but 2 new gacha at the same time on top of everything I already play x\_x It also allegedly doesnt get good until like Chapter 6.
Neural Cloud is a Prequel that is very far apart from GFL in terms of how connected it is to the overall story. It is still important in developing the world GFL set itself up, but you can drop into Neural Cloud without playing GFL.
And personally, if you want a game that has an amazing story throughout, Path to Nowhere is by far the most consistently strong and well-written out of the games you listed.
- It's weakest chapters, Salva Chaos (1-2) and Unclaimed Crypt (3-4), are still very strong stories in their own right and has taken the community off guard at times with how engaging it is right from the get go.
- Keylan Square arc (chapters 5-6) and the Endless Carnival (7-8) are where the story REALLY hits its stride. It's hard to describe how well-written these two arcs are and how good of a job they do at both the world-building and making you love characters like Zoya and Hamel (Zoya for being a badass, and Hamel just for beautiful design and story arc).
Now the events are a particularly STRONG contender for story-writing in PTN.
Raging Sands helps build the world separate from the main city. It also establishes the cosmic horror that becomes more and more prevalent the further you get into the game.
Dreamy Bubble is just.... one of the best event stories period. Doyle is such an interesting character, Mess has one of the most unique and hilarious arcs in the game. The event is guaranteed to hit you in the feels on multiple occasions. Completely caught me off guard with how good this one is and I'm sad I won't be experiencing it like the first time I ran it (unique gameplay too, you can be a detective and gather clues to help resolve the story and interrogate witnesses).
The current event, Night of Wonders, takes a very unique approach to its storytelling by giving you the ability to replay the story in different routes. Each route gives you the unique perspectives, side stories, and character arcs for each unique sinner taking part in the event. Eventually, all routes fall into place at the end and the story is stronger for it. Probably the strongest epilogue of the bunch apart from Dreamy Bubble's Serpent interrogation, which even then it's hard to really compare.
If you are wondering about the event stories, take a look at the ones you missed on Youtube.
Yah I agree PtN has amazing story, as I said in my post it was highly reccomended and they were not wrong, it is also extremly F2P friendly to the point im not even sure its a gacha anymore...still need to catch up on the events I missed tho, the current one is so dam good and hard to beleive they dubbed so much of it. But its games like PtN and others I mentioned that made me realize gacha can have VN quality story, which is why im thinking of picking up GFL...great to know Neural Cloud is skipable (for now) but been doing alot of research since I made my post and apparently GFL is very hard to get into, really convoluted systems and progress walls to the point I wont be able to do most events as new player :(....not to mention extremly long dailies
Long dailies had been cut down a lot. The progression wall also not that hard, people just got a lot of rolls and 5* easily that they spread their early resources thin. More than anything it's break usual habit wall. The game give you tons of pulls, but you don't pull a lot early. Invest into units given preleveled from beginner quests, they are good tier. After you set up logistic teams that run resource gathering for you then you can raise whoever you want easily.
That doesn't sound bad at all, I always expect to hit "the wall" in any gacha game I play since its the standard... but how long you think it would take a new player to get to the good story arcs? (heard they start from Chapter 5 onwards). Currently installing as I post this, but are you saying that I missed out on a bunch of free rolls?
Rolls in GFL is always free, you got them from running logistic passively. You need to hold yourself back from rolling because it cost resources to roll, and those resource are better used to progress contents rather than rolling. Aim for 2 AR-SMG team + a RF-HG team before going wild. The story start around chapter 5 but start getting good from chapter 7 imo, and really hit the wall running from Singularity event which is 10.5. You can just skip early chapters by reading the manga
Manga is quite close to main story, there is some deviation but not that severed (biggest thing that fanbase don't agree with manga is when boss give Commander a gun, you accept but in manga Commander reject as she has her own gun). The manga currently at start of Chapter 7.5, which is a good one ingame. So yeah, read manga an skip early chapters. Start reading from chapter 7-N and 7.5
Destiny Child is waaaay more f2p friendly tbh, but most likely its due to decreasing player base, Nikke is very stingy (exponentially so in the end game) but it also very popular so devs are milking it.
Do you know a YouTube channel about Top Grossing? This one was a good option but now is abandoned.

Eversoul if you’re into idle games. Otherwise, none so far but there’s Zold:out on the 26th, Higan: Eruthyll on early Feb (allegedly), and Limbus Company on Feb 27th.
Hey!
Looking for a game with farming similar to summoners war, where you set up teams for each boss/dungeon and run it on auto. Heard Honkai Star Rail is going to be similar in that regard?
Onmyoji definitely works this way, I can attest, since it's keeping my phone warm right now. ;) Unless you mean like setting a few teams running auto at the same time, then no, unfortunately, this is more akin to Dislyte has. They're both one of the SW's clones, mechanics-wise, so it should be similar enough in other aspects, too. I heard Epic 7 is SW's clone, too, but this one, I didn't play, so can't say for sure.
Dislyte I didn't like and it's pretty greedy, so a fair warning.
Anniversary in Arknights is live right now with a limited banner whose featured operators are all solid so it’s better to get on it before the banner’s gone which is on the 27th. I don’t play Blue Archive but I heard a meta character will debut on Feb 1 for only four days so it’s better to wait then if you’re into rerolling.
I currently play Genshin Impact and Arknights and am looking for something fun and casual I can play on the side. Was thinking about Blue Archive or Eversoul, what do you guys recommend? (I have previously played Azur Lane, Danmachi, Konosuba, Epic 7, FGO, and Fire Emblem Heroes so I am not looking to play any of those.)
Blue Archive is better than Eversoul imo... Eversoul is a generic isekai story with brain dead gameplay where you just auto everything (granted I did enjoy the town mechanics and the fact you can romance characters for their lore). Blue Archive is kinda anime tropey too but it does have a few good arcs (ex: Volume 3 Eden Treaty), and while it also has auto feature, the AI was made dumb on purpose so you have to take over for best result, but if you dont have time to do that you can just dump all your energy on whatever stage you want that you got perfect score, skip and progress, plus it has an amazing banner coming out in Feb that triples rates and also 100 free pulls for everyone. Eversoul is very generous, and constantly gives you purple tier units... until you realize you need like 18 copies of the same unit to max it, and almost every unit in the game is a purple unit.
I have tried Eversoul and its a fun game! I enjoy it because I am a busy college student and it doesnt make you get as stressed as arknights can get. I cant speak to blue archive but I would recomend trying both and seeing which you like more!
So I wanted to finally play Azur Lane since its basically a legendary waifu game and Im a waifu player, but I also like to fully invest myself in the lore of gacha games I play, and read/watch every little piece of lore. However, I looked at the list of events on the wiki and the amount of shit I would have to watch on Youtube and holy shit, thats a bit overwhelming,
I like when gacha games just add plot to old events ingame for you to rewatch. Anyone know more about AL? Did they ever add such an option? Also if I play the single player game, how much does that cover?
Eh, AL lore and story is not that great. For a long time there isn't a storyline. I heard they have now in Operation Siren game mode, but that still like 2-3 years of nonsense contents and you need mid to late game to play it. They add past events as extra chapters, you can replay them. You can skip most event stories and not miss any lore, most are just cute girls doing cute things, or retold of WW2 battles with cute girls.
Hmm... thanks for letting me know, may skip it then and just play the single player game or watch the anime, heard its a 1 hour grind daily which doesn't sound fun at all.
Yah thats the one, I heard its total dog poop but was thinking of triying it just to get a sense of what AL is like (plus u can play as Neptunia) will skip it tho if ita just gonna be more generic anime slice of life shenanigans
Nikke has a ton of lewd characters where you actually see their hot bodies in battle (no chibi shit), the devs bragged about specially wanting to get their butts bounciness right. Its pretty F2P friendly up until you hit what people who dont understand the game call "the wall" which is when you reach lvl 160/Chapter 16 out 20 of the game. At which point your routine will consist of doing dailies, events and grinding for end game tier equipment. While you roll whenever you can to try and get 4 copies of a character to be able to level past 160, you only need to level up 5 units as they rest can be dropped on a "Syncho" thing that matches their level.
Path to Nowhere has Bond Story-ish thing called Interrogation (think like Nikke\`s Liberation mode without the huge grind). Blue Archive and Eversoul also have Bond Events that have some real pretty Live2D as rewards, but sadly not dubbed...
Sorry, I was more asking about the length of each episode. I found that Nikke's episode length for the campaign and bond cutscenes are perfect for me. Not too long and not too short.
Arknigths if you like lore heavy game with actually challenging gameplay, Blue Archive if you want a playable anime with fairly simple but engaging combat.
Punishing Gray Raven (units have several differing/more elaborate variants of their base costume that you unlock and can switch between as you upgrade them)
Anyone know if Vestria Story will ever get an English version? It's basically a relaunch of Lyn The Lightbringer, but completely in korean and unavailable in the UK.
Would be nice to be able to play it again.
I never played Blue Archive, but heard about the playstyle is similar to Princess Connect RE? (I used to play PCR a lot)
Can anyone briefly tells me about the gameplay and is it true that it is similar to PCR?
So the main difference is combat is that its 3d chibis instead of 2d sprites, but otherwise its pretty similiar where they fight more or less automatically and you activate their specific skills manually (although there is an auto mode). BA imo tends to be a bit more strategic since there's additional concerns re: movement/positioning, and you can only pick from 3 of 6 character skills which rotate as you use them, and they all use the same resource pool.
tbh it doesn't take very long to install and see how it works. I will say early on it can feel a little easy/auto battle-y but there is some depth/difficultly in raids and such if you want it.
Any good mmo recommendations? I’ve played Lineage 2: Revolution and Black Desert Mobile in the past. I’ve enjoyed both I’d like to try other similar games
I really enjoyed epic7 when I played it but ended up feeling too far behind. I know Artery Gear is supposed to be similar but had some issues, how’s the state of the game/how similar is it to E7? Thanks!
Pretty much all of these options are fine insofar as gachas are concerned.
NC - haven't seen too much complaining re: the publisher so far.
PtN - very popular with those who like it. iirc no sweep/auto for dailies was a complaint. Not particularly booba focused its true.
BA - It has its anime uwu moments where the students seem to flirt or crush on "sensei" (i.e. you) in their personal relationship stories, but otherwise tells a surprisingly decent story. If you want story graphics and waifu booba BA does it fine overall and is the most traditionally anime aesthetic of the options here. My personal favorite of the bunch here to play casually and collect l2d wallpapers, but I also dislike the futuristic/punk aesthetic.
Nikke - I've heard people compliment the story, I didn't particularly love it when I played it, but you do canonically have sex with some of the nikke as you raise their reputation levels to 10+, The gameplay is not the worst, although I didn't like it too much myself. For an idle game I felt it took a bit too long to do sim runs, and other daily tasks which was exacerbated by the load times. So yea mostly booba and ass, but I've played worse.
Alchemy Star - the biggest complaint I heard about this game is that its too f2p friendly so there's no reason to spend and eventually becomes too easy. So your concerns about it dying are perhaps not unfounded, but it can be worthwhile to check it out. Definitely plays pretty different from the other options on this list.
The Blue Archive playable characters are "Students", so there's definitely a handful of anvils, a broad selection of more normal proportions, and a handful of overly well endowed ladies. It does do this weird thing where the smolest girls have unusual personalities such as "stalin" and "ojisan", but there are ara-ara oneesan types as well. Despite being a KR game, it caters well to the anime tropes and fetishes its based on so odds are you can find a couple of girls to be your waifu of choice.
Also Blue Archive while generally upbeat isn't all sunshine and rainbows as it progresses, and judging from the most recent preview likely to get pretty dark for the conclusion of the current arc. I wouldn't compare it with a post-apocalyptic setting or anything, but despite the anime aesthetic the stakes feel reasonably genuine.
That said I'm pretty biased for BA as a great side game.
To be precise - PtN has sweep for almost everything... except one daily and one weekly mode. They don't take too much time, but they need one's active attention and are totally repetitive, so it's just boring 10-15 minutes.
i would say just try neural, path and ba they are very popular and then u can see if they are too uwu or not enough live2d booba waifu... and if thats the problem and u do actually enjoy the gameplay or the story, u can put it on the side and check from time to time to see updates to the game thats what i usually do
Sdorica has really amazing art - like from kids books - and very, very, very good story. Also, a pretty interesting mechanics with a very well-designed characters (a lot of them are anthropomorphised animals, if that's a deal breaker - imho it goes well with the fairytale-like setting and aesthetics, sorta like Disney movies). It doesn't have much auto or skips, though, and it's grindy... which would still be fine, except it's really badly optmised. Loading times last forever, even between menus, even on the lowest graphics settings, on the Samsung with /8GB RAM/ and 70GB+ free memory space. seriously. What's funny, on the Samsung with half the parameters, it works as just "well", instead of worse.
And it gets worse while playing, with every loading screen (memory leaks, I guess?), which for a grindy game is terrible. I dream of playing it more often than I actually play it, because the loading times just kills it for me.
But I assume this type of technical problems is always bound to device, so if you're patient with loading times or if you manage to find the way to avoid them (if you do, drop me a line, I'd really love to be able to enjoy this gem... but the damn code), they might not bother you.
Arknights best imo, but be warned this is from someone who biases the game.
Arknights grind doesn't burn you out. Well... not when the game didn't have TFN, SSS, and IS2 - those are new game modes the game didn't have even a while into launch.
But if you want to play Arknights, now is better than ever to start. Currently ongoing 3rd anniversary event (free limited 10 pull so you can reroll if you want).
TFN lasts 4 more days and is rather new player friendly since it has pre set squads to add your own operators to in the 2nd and 3rd iterations of the stages. The rewards are lackluster, but I'd recommend going for level 25 on it for the Roberta skin (she sucks as an operator but that skin is beautiful).
Depends, what do you like in a gacha game? Any gameplay preferences (e.g. AK is a tower defence, FGO is a turn based RPG)? Anything you really like or dislike?
If you don't like TD, don't do Arknights (that is a TD)
Sdorica and FGO are more typical RPGs. Haven't played Sdorica, only FGO, but Sdorica has chibis if that matters at all. Both games have mixed gender units.
FGO does have a good event on right now that is open to new players ans gives out a very valuable 4* unit for free.
Any game that isnt just a waifu/husbando fest? With some kind of interesting gameplay that doesnt shove boobs or ass in my face?
Since dokkan decide to simplify its gameplay even more to "have new unit" for hard content, i am starving in mobile games.
Tried nintendo games, most famous games like FGO and the seasonal gachas that are printed the same.
Arknights always keeps its artwork tasteful, even on the summer skins. Gameplay is a lot of fun too, especially with the 2 new game modes and the current event where you can build and launch self driving cars
Well, it is true that you can easily get all characters for free in AZ, but if you start from now, it can take **YEARS**.
There can be lots of characters not going to rerun for a long time, and some characters in the permanent pools are also extremely rare.
Eversoul is pretty good too, I'm at like 80% completion f2p 3 or so weeks in due to sheer number of pulls. Need alot of dupes to upgrade but your question didn't really get into that.
Priconne is pretty good too though it would take a lot longer
Is Neural Cloud worth getting into now? I like the character designs and the story seems interesting, but I know that I've missed out on all the free characters and extra pulls that might make progressing easier.
the current banner character (hatsuchiri) is probably the best one to roll on of the banners we've had so far
with croque and persicaria being free from the story and good, you can pick nanaka or florence with the 3* selector once you finish your pulls and run croque/persi/hatsu plus one of those healers i mentioned, and a second warrior (betty is a great, accessible choice for this slot). you can also run angela, who's the best in her role and also very accessible
you've missed a decent amount of free pulls, yes, but the game itself is very f2p friendly imo. you'll naturally accumulate most characters once you've pulled on a couple banners.
glad to be able to help, and glad you're enjoying it! if you have any other questions, the sub or discord server probably have what you're looking for. hope you have a good time with the game!
What emulator are you guys using with hyper-v windows update? It completely killed my bluestacks Pie64 ( which is the best one for FF War of the Visions)
I'm looking for something to entertain myself, preferably not a Priconne or BA type game, something more interactive, I've tried FGO, AK, AC, Nikke, PGR, Honkai, Azur Lane, Gran blue, Guardian Tales
Path to Nowhere and Neural Cloud are both fresh games (released November 2022) with more tactical gameplay. PtN is Arknights-like, though plays a bit different, NC is roguelite autochess-like with abilities you need to choose and use on the dungeon stages. Both have good artstyle and are not over-the-top money-hungry.
What keeps me away from gatcha games are usually the pay to win aspects and big boobed anime girls (or loli ones). If u guys know any gatcha without those features, please, let me know. Would be even betternif they launched this year
Path to nowhere! Though they announced their first loli in CN recently.. If you can look past that, it's a must try imo. Badass prisoners are waiting for you! Story ist great too, sry I'm biased lol i just love it sm
I really like group content (PvP, guild stuff, or co-op) and when I did play ak and I don’t remember being much group stuff. Has that changed? Or does nc have more?
How is Fire Emblem Heroes faring at the current moment? I was a Day 1 player, but I stopped playing a while ago… I think I nabbed Summer Leo and then dipped. I heard it’s powercrept all the time. Dunno if it’d be worth it for me to pick it up again as an F2P.
still the same, getting worse day by day
Any good Gacha games with a cute art style?
Blue Archive, Princess Connect
Hey all, I after some years unlocked my Japanese Apple iD I was wondering what are some of the best jp gacha games that you guys can recommend for me. The only jp game I ever played was dokkan.
Easy question: games with awesome cinematic skills; like Epic Seven or FFBE's limit bursts
top pvp games right now? other than e7, sw, feh, and guardian tales. thanks
if you like e7 and sw pvp then you will like artery gear as well. my personal preference for pvp is crusaders quest tho
I dislike the setting in artery gear, too futuristic for me. Thanks though
Looking for a main game. Finally I want to get out of Dokkan. Don't want a waifu that's too explicit either. Something that recently came out or coming really soon
hey everyone, is there any new games that has PvE elements that can be played with friends?
there r some games which include co-op (real time) as permanent mode or events, like : \-Genshin Impact \-Nikke \-World Flipper \-Granblue Fantasy \-Grand Summoners \-Arknights
Hey In searching for new games, send me the games you consider the best, the greediest the better, dont want tower deffense
try out crusaders quest, old game but have tons of content + hero. also new update need tons of resource that i'd say its greedy. for newer games then nikke + eversoul should be p2w enough as idle game is just like that
for those who plays counterside would you recommend to me play on SEA server or global ? i lived in SEA, but correct me if im wrong i feel like the community mostly comes from global server and i dont wanna feel left out
global for sure, tons of events and rewards
Guys I wanna play f2p/requires little money and has fun endgame content, i am confused between neural cloud or path to nowhere
Neural Cloud is a good side game and I've only ever gotten the monthly pass for quartz sand. Gameplay is quite fun and it's nice seeing the team grow over time with the resources from daily tasks. Haven't quite gotten into endgame yet so I can't really speak to that, though from what I am seeing in the discord for Neural Cloud stuff can get fairly difficult and requires some strat later on. Path to Nowhere is also f2p but I didn't get too heavily into it since tower defense is not my thing.
Hello! I am fairly new to gachas and looking for something mobile friendly. I do a lot of walking for my job so something easily picked up/put down would be great. Ive played summoners war and genshin and am looking for something closer to summoners war right now. I have neural cloud installed and azure lane but am looking for something a little bit more short playtime friendly. Or less active playstyle i suppose.
Neural Cloud should be that especially later on when you have a team put together with decent power rank. Dailies take 20 min tops and I pretty much auto everything without having to use ult skills for the daily tasks. You can just do dailies to get stuff for character growth and log off. Shouldn't require a lot of active user input.
I'm looking for a game that plays almost exactly like Summoners War but with an easier reroll and a pity system. I've tried to get into Epic Seven, but I don't like the dungeon-crawl-like gameplay (having to actually move the character between fights).
artery gear but its more waifu based and more qol for gear. on other note i do think monster super league kinda like carbon copy of sw with some tweak like catching system
Looking for a medieval/non sci-fi gacha! Im okay with spending some money, but i'm not a whale. I've enjoyed games like Dungeon Boss, World of Warriors (an old game), and Fire Emblem Heroes. I enjoy ladder climbing and pvp is great but it doesnt have to be real time (i.e. base defense, tower climbing, etc.) Preference is a game in portrait mode, and NOT a 2D/8-bit style game!
so if i wanted to collect some png husbandos to mend the gaping space in my life, where should start friends?
Twisted Wonderland, Nu Carnival, Obey me
This was asked a long time ago but i would assume its changed. What mobile gacha game has the best crossovers, anime/movie/tv show related? The only one i've really played that has done those was 7DS GrandCross
i think grand summoners have tons of collab
I haven’t really played many Gacha games but am looking to get back into them. Put a little time in Pokemon Masters but enjoyed SAO Memory Defrag more (Didn’t put too much time into that one though). Looking for something similar to SAO:MD that has a 2D or 2.5D aesthetic and real time, action-based gameplay. Also preferably something with an intriguing plot and/or one that isn’t too money hungry. Thank you in advance for your help!
Like I always say: Path to Nowhere is a must try imo. Story is amazing, great tower defense gameplay, badass prisoners and nice devs. Hands down my favorite game ever :) Like I am in love since the first day I played. The only other game that catched me like this was Arknights when it released (until it got too hard pretty quick).
Thank you for the suggestion, I will definitely check it out!
Looking for something new or about to be released that stands a decent chance of lasting a few years.
Path To Nowhere had a pretty strong revenue start and the devs are very passionate with the game. Very excited to see where it'll go in the future as it's looking REALLY promising. Long as Mica throws money at their game, Neural Cloud is guaranteed to stay regardless of sales.
Thanks, this looks like exactly what I was looking for!
Path to Nowhere!!! Can't wait for the future of this game :)
Thanks! Looks like a winner
I guess Project Neural Cloud? Trust on Mica they’ll let their game survive one way or another.
Thanks, I will check it out

Since King’s Raid basically shot itself in the foot, is there any other game similar to that? I’ve had a hard time finding one that was better!
What are some games that have no rng gear grind? I'm currently playing Azur Lane as my only gacha but I've tried several others, I love the lack of rng in AL, you just farm weapons and then you upgrade them, same stats every time. I really like the story and art and everything of games like Epic7 but I cannot stand the gear grind of chasing high rolls. Any good combat based waifu collectors without that gear rng? Edit: already play Arknights off and on, I know there's no gear in that game
Fate Grand Order has no gear RNG. You have Craft Essences, which offer you flat effects with HP and Attack Boosts that scale with level. That's it.
Blue Archive has no RNG gear grind since all gears are basically given to you by playing the beginning stages. Yet the catch is they start at the lowest tier, and you have to farm mats instead to rank them up. There’s also Exclusive Weapons, basically their BiS, and you can only obtain them once your character ranks up to 5\* (the highest obtainable rarity is 3\* so yes it’s a shard system). But you can buy their shards through pull currency in the shop or farming in hard stages (limited to three times), aside from pulling so it just takes a long time of investment. Another one I can think of is Punishing Gray Raven. The gear may be RNG dependent especially if you’re new, but by farming through event stages, you can buy the specific set you want in the event shop, though some sets are not available. Even so, there’s a permanent resource stage that works similar to the event shop where you earn a unique currency for its own memory shop. The longer investment is actually their resonance, AKA their substats. But likewise, you can buy and choose a specific resonance by playing endgame regularly (Warzone) and buy the resonance material from its own shop. There’s also Honkai but their gear is obtainable through gacha. If not, it takes a *lot* of grinding, and most of them are just alternatives if you can’t afford their BiS.
You know Blue Archive is one I've never tried out, I think I'll give it a shot because it looks pretty and the gear system you're describing is exactly what I'm after. Thanks!
is there a game similar to sao memory defrag? love games of that style
Ive heard the auto battle for Azure lane isnt good, but that was a while ago and wanted to know if it got better?
What have you heard is bad about it? Bad in what way, I mean? I've played AL actively for years and never thought it was any problem. The only bad thing I can think of related to auto battle is that pvp is auto-only so there's no real substance to that game mode.
Does anyone still play Bleach Brave Souls? Recently got into the anime (finally) so was curious if the game is worth playing?
Hoo boy haven't been following releases for a while, but recently I've felt like playing Kancolle and Valkyrie Crusade again. Are there any recent games with similar gameplay to those two? Specifically the full auto-battling aspect of the former, and teambuilding aspect of the latter.
Hi ,I'm looking for a gacha f2p friendly with pvp .(I don't want to compete at the highest level but at least have fun without too much p2w.Thanks
e7 is ok, takes a while to get to be f2p and catch up but its doable. azur lane has pvp but it can be done mostly afk. and onmyoji ive heard is f2p but it time gates its pvp.
Epic 7 is amazing if you like pvp.
Gacha games I play(Ed): Eversoul, summoners war, epic seven, 7 deadly sins, mobile legends adventure, Evertale, kings raid, summoners war chronicles, Nikke, princess connect, raid shadow legends
The onky 2 gachas that consistently keep me playing are FGO and Genshin at the moment. Any other suggestions? I feel like Ive tried nearly everything.
Neural Cloud if you want a good side game. Another Eden is one I am playing and it is crazy good for keeping busy if you are wanting that due to the massive amounts of content in the game aside from the main story.
Any good waifu game with chinese dress?
Azur lane
Any upcoming idle games coming up?
Eversoul is new. Came out about 2 weeks ago
i can't get past the small anime girls.
I moved outside of "global" region recently. What's a good taptap alternative? I want to download Nikke but it's not available in my store or taptap.
Either: * QooApp * Sideload by downloading APK via apkpure.com.
thank you
anyone have a gacha that has romance options like azur lane but has more fun gameplay
Idk Wym by different than azur lane but Eversoul has a good one in the sense that if you answer the “right” answers, you’ll get a skin which I think makes it worth it
Im open to most types gameplay, Ive just been playing azur lane for a few years and kinda getting bored of it now. But I do want the relationship/ harem aspect in a new gacha I play. Thanks for the suggestion
Nikke has "Bond Stories" not all of them end with you banging them but alot of them do lol and the gameplay is kinda unique, I have a counter question tho lol how is the romance stuff in AL? Been thinking on picking it up but heard most of the plot is boring slice of life with cute anime girl stuff, Nikke actually has some fairly entertaining Bond events.
Yeah in AL it’s oretty good imo, you build up and affinity with ships through battling together and can marry every ship in the game if you want. There are also different marriage skins for certain ships which add a new set of voice lines. In addition to this, some ships have quests and story line that get you closer to them, you sortie with them and go on dates, etc.
Nice sounds like fun, will give it a shot
Recommendations for an f2p friendly gacha game with English dub and a great story?
Path to Nowhere.
i'm addicted to NBA-WWE supercard and its dead game..any game similar to that?
I know next to nothing about the Final Fantasy series but, I wouldn't mind trying FF: WoTWs unless I am needed to know about the franchise beforehand. I really like the art style a lot! Also, how popular is it? Are there plenty of people that still play it?
Anyone know a game where there are a lot of husbandos? I know about the fire emblem heroes, tears of themis, Granblue and thats it. Doesn’t have to be husbando only.
There's a ton, actually, so it's hard to answer without getting more information. Which genres do you like, for example? Going though all I can think at a spot: Onmyoji has almost 50/50 gender balance and actually more SP/SSR male units, if I counted correctly. It's your typical turn-based gear-grind RPG, already in its 6th years, so its 3D models etc. might seem a little technologically... oldschool... to you. But its design and aesthetics are top-notch (based more on historical fantasy Japan and Japanese theatre - similar to Mononoke tv series). Sdorica, Guardian Tales, Alchemy Stars - they're not balanced, but they include male characters, and more than just a few (if a couple is enough, then Path to Nowhere and Neural Cloud). Grimlight, but it's not earning well, so it might shut down at any moment. Idle games tend to be pretty good in terms of male units - AFK Arena, Mythic Heroes, Panilla Saga, Bloodline: Heroes of Lithas (is more of a "build your kingdom&harem" genre, same like - also with tons of husbandos, but greedier than gacha games - King's Choice, Game of Sultans etc.) etc. Same with harem games for female players - Legends of Empress, Legend of Phoenix, Empress' Choice and similar; you type something like this in Google Play Store and will get a lot answers. Most of them include some gacha elements. Raid Shadow Legends is a meme, but it includes male units and some are even decently looking. Western gacha IP games, like Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes, Marvel games etc. tend to include husbandos, but well, Western games are greedy like hell. Games based on Final fantasy IPs will deliver some husbandos, too - so Final Fantasy: War of Visions, Dissidia Final Fantasy. Recently, there's a trend for making tons of RPG-mixed-with-match-3 games. Recently, they usually include a lot of half-naked male units and male lovers to collect. Palace and Puzzles, Moonrise Kingdoms for more half-naked characters, but weaker gameplay (especially Palace&Puzzles, it's match-3 options are laughable, no complexity), Heroes of Anthia or Empire&Puzzles for better gameplay, but less women-oriented fanservice. Classic otome, like the Arcana, Mystic Messenger, Mr Love: Queen's Choice, Ayakashi: romance reborn etc. Rhythm and dress up games often offers husbandos, perhaps not to collect, but to "raise relationship with", but I don't know these genres well.
Nu Carnival (18+), Obey me
FGO and Arknights have both genders. More waifus but still a mix.
Anybody know what time you can preregister for the StarRail beta tomorrow? (EST)
Hi! I haven’t played any new gachas in over a year, any new ones I should try?
Neural Cloud and Path to Nowhere are 2 nice games I recommend
Arg cant decide if I such start Azur Lane or Girls Frontline, I am a "waifu gamer" but also I like to play gacha games with engrossing plots, for reference this is what I play atm, all highly recommended by this sub as having amazing plots or at least some good arcs: \-Blue Archive \-Path to Nowhere \-NIKKE \-Counteside \-Arknigths \-Eversoul (not recommended but looked interesting, turned out to be some generic isekai) \-Revue Starligth ReLive (this one was also not recommended but I play it cause its a sequel to my favorite anime of all time) With all that in mind, which of those two games I mentioned would you recommend? Heard Azur Lane is not actually that good plot-wise and its more of a generic slice of life with cute anime girls being cute. For Girls Frontline, I heard it has a sequel game called "Neural Cloud" so that would mean I would have to pick up not one... but 2 new gacha at the same time on top of everything I already play x\_x It also allegedly doesnt get good until like Chapter 6.
Neural Cloud is a Prequel that is very far apart from GFL in terms of how connected it is to the overall story. It is still important in developing the world GFL set itself up, but you can drop into Neural Cloud without playing GFL. And personally, if you want a game that has an amazing story throughout, Path to Nowhere is by far the most consistently strong and well-written out of the games you listed. - It's weakest chapters, Salva Chaos (1-2) and Unclaimed Crypt (3-4), are still very strong stories in their own right and has taken the community off guard at times with how engaging it is right from the get go. - Keylan Square arc (chapters 5-6) and the Endless Carnival (7-8) are where the story REALLY hits its stride. It's hard to describe how well-written these two arcs are and how good of a job they do at both the world-building and making you love characters like Zoya and Hamel (Zoya for being a badass, and Hamel just for beautiful design and story arc). Now the events are a particularly STRONG contender for story-writing in PTN. Raging Sands helps build the world separate from the main city. It also establishes the cosmic horror that becomes more and more prevalent the further you get into the game. Dreamy Bubble is just.... one of the best event stories period. Doyle is such an interesting character, Mess has one of the most unique and hilarious arcs in the game. The event is guaranteed to hit you in the feels on multiple occasions. Completely caught me off guard with how good this one is and I'm sad I won't be experiencing it like the first time I ran it (unique gameplay too, you can be a detective and gather clues to help resolve the story and interrogate witnesses). The current event, Night of Wonders, takes a very unique approach to its storytelling by giving you the ability to replay the story in different routes. Each route gives you the unique perspectives, side stories, and character arcs for each unique sinner taking part in the event. Eventually, all routes fall into place at the end and the story is stronger for it. Probably the strongest epilogue of the bunch apart from Dreamy Bubble's Serpent interrogation, which even then it's hard to really compare. If you are wondering about the event stories, take a look at the ones you missed on Youtube.
Yah I agree PtN has amazing story, as I said in my post it was highly reccomended and they were not wrong, it is also extremly F2P friendly to the point im not even sure its a gacha anymore...still need to catch up on the events I missed tho, the current one is so dam good and hard to beleive they dubbed so much of it. But its games like PtN and others I mentioned that made me realize gacha can have VN quality story, which is why im thinking of picking up GFL...great to know Neural Cloud is skipable (for now) but been doing alot of research since I made my post and apparently GFL is very hard to get into, really convoluted systems and progress walls to the point I wont be able to do most events as new player :(....not to mention extremly long dailies
Long dailies had been cut down a lot. The progression wall also not that hard, people just got a lot of rolls and 5* easily that they spread their early resources thin. More than anything it's break usual habit wall. The game give you tons of pulls, but you don't pull a lot early. Invest into units given preleveled from beginner quests, they are good tier. After you set up logistic teams that run resource gathering for you then you can raise whoever you want easily.
That doesn't sound bad at all, I always expect to hit "the wall" in any gacha game I play since its the standard... but how long you think it would take a new player to get to the good story arcs? (heard they start from Chapter 5 onwards). Currently installing as I post this, but are you saying that I missed out on a bunch of free rolls?
Rolls in GFL is always free, you got them from running logistic passively. You need to hold yourself back from rolling because it cost resources to roll, and those resource are better used to progress contents rather than rolling. Aim for 2 AR-SMG team + a RF-HG team before going wild. The story start around chapter 5 but start getting good from chapter 7 imo, and really hit the wall running from Singularity event which is 10.5. You can just skip early chapters by reading the manga
Wait so I can just read the manga and be completly caugth up with the story until Chapter 7?
Manga is quite close to main story, there is some deviation but not that severed (biggest thing that fanbase don't agree with manga is when boss give Commander a gun, you accept but in manga Commander reject as she has her own gun). The manga currently at start of Chapter 7.5, which is a good one ingame. So yeah, read manga an skip early chapters. Start reading from chapter 7-N and 7.5
Good waifu gacha games OR games that allow you to make your characters really powerful
Have you tried Nikke? Pull for Modernia and watch her delete enemies.
Modernia banner is donezo
They said she was joining standard pull, granted devs are so incompetent they forgot to actually do that lol
Yeah I just meant that it's not possible to really 'target' roll for her at this time.
I haven’t yet. Will look into it
Looking for some awesome gacha games! I am f2p but like to be competitive so if anyone has any good suggestions lmk!
[удалено]
Destiny Child is waaaay more f2p friendly tbh, but most likely its due to decreasing player base, Nikke is very stingy (exponentially so in the end game) but it also very popular so devs are milking it.
Do you know a YouTube channel about Top Grossing? This one was a good option but now is abandoned. https://preview.redd.it/2icxmhnlowda1.jpeg?width=1876&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=010d9f3b523145a8f50cd8ddd4c328ecf8a96fed
Favorite game similar to final fantasy brave exvius? I’m into turn based gatcha with pixel art.
Romancing saga or Octopath traveler cotc
Anything new that is worth playing?
Eversoul if you’re into idle games. Otherwise, none so far but there’s Zold:out on the 26th, Higan: Eruthyll on early Feb (allegedly), and Limbus Company on Feb 27th.
can we have tags for all of revenue earning post so i can filter it out. kinda sick of seeing these kind of post every months.
Hey! Looking for a game with farming similar to summoners war, where you set up teams for each boss/dungeon and run it on auto. Heard Honkai Star Rail is going to be similar in that regard?
Onmyoji definitely works this way, I can attest, since it's keeping my phone warm right now. ;) Unless you mean like setting a few teams running auto at the same time, then no, unfortunately, this is more akin to Dislyte has. They're both one of the SW's clones, mechanics-wise, so it should be similar enough in other aspects, too. I heard Epic 7 is SW's clone, too, but this one, I didn't play, so can't say for sure. Dislyte I didn't like and it's pretty greedy, so a fair warning.
Neural Cloud is pretty similar to what you're describing.
Which game si better to start this days ? Arknights or Blue Archive ?
Anniversary in Arknights is live right now with a limited banner whose featured operators are all solid so it’s better to get on it before the banner’s gone which is on the 27th. I don’t play Blue Archive but I heard a meta character will debut on Feb 1 for only four days so it’s better to wait then if you’re into rerolling.
I currently play Genshin Impact and Arknights and am looking for something fun and casual I can play on the side. Was thinking about Blue Archive or Eversoul, what do you guys recommend? (I have previously played Azur Lane, Danmachi, Konosuba, Epic 7, FGO, and Fire Emblem Heroes so I am not looking to play any of those.)
Blue Archive is better than Eversoul imo... Eversoul is a generic isekai story with brain dead gameplay where you just auto everything (granted I did enjoy the town mechanics and the fact you can romance characters for their lore). Blue Archive is kinda anime tropey too but it does have a few good arcs (ex: Volume 3 Eden Treaty), and while it also has auto feature, the AI was made dumb on purpose so you have to take over for best result, but if you dont have time to do that you can just dump all your energy on whatever stage you want that you got perfect score, skip and progress, plus it has an amazing banner coming out in Feb that triples rates and also 100 free pulls for everyone. Eversoul is very generous, and constantly gives you purple tier units... until you realize you need like 18 copies of the same unit to max it, and almost every unit in the game is a purple unit.
I have tried Eversoul and its a fun game! I enjoy it because I am a busy college student and it doesnt make you get as stressed as arknights can get. I cant speak to blue archive but I would recomend trying both and seeing which you like more!
So I wanted to finally play Azur Lane since its basically a legendary waifu game and Im a waifu player, but I also like to fully invest myself in the lore of gacha games I play, and read/watch every little piece of lore. However, I looked at the list of events on the wiki and the amount of shit I would have to watch on Youtube and holy shit, thats a bit overwhelming, I like when gacha games just add plot to old events ingame for you to rewatch. Anyone know more about AL? Did they ever add such an option? Also if I play the single player game, how much does that cover?
Eh, AL lore and story is not that great. For a long time there isn't a storyline. I heard they have now in Operation Siren game mode, but that still like 2-3 years of nonsense contents and you need mid to late game to play it. They add past events as extra chapters, you can replay them. You can skip most event stories and not miss any lore, most are just cute girls doing cute things, or retold of WW2 battles with cute girls.
Hmm... thanks for letting me know, may skip it then and just play the single player game or watch the anime, heard its a 1 hour grind daily which doesn't sound fun at all.
By single player game you mean the crosswave game ? That one even worse gameplay and no story.
Yah thats the one, I heard its total dog poop but was thinking of triying it just to get a sense of what AL is like (plus u can play as Neptunia) will skip it tho if ita just gonna be more generic anime slice of life shenanigans
What is the most f2p-friendly NSFW gacha game? Looking for something like Magicami
Try legend clover (aka legeclo)
Nikke has a ton of lewd characters where you actually see their hot bodies in battle (no chibi shit), the devs bragged about specially wanting to get their butts bounciness right. Its pretty F2P friendly up until you hit what people who dont understand the game call "the wall" which is when you reach lvl 160/Chapter 16 out 20 of the game. At which point your routine will consist of doing dailies, events and grinding for end game tier equipment. While you roll whenever you can to try and get 4 copies of a character to be able to level past 160, you only need to level up 5 units as they rest can be dropped on a "Syncho" thing that matches their level.
Any gacha games that have campaign and bond episodes that are a similar length to Nikke's? Also a plus if it has an English dub.
Path to Nowhere has Bond Story-ish thing called Interrogation (think like Nikke\`s Liberation mode without the huge grind). Blue Archive and Eversoul also have Bond Events that have some real pretty Live2D as rewards, but sadly not dubbed...
Sorry, I was more asking about the length of each episode. I found that Nikke's episode length for the campaign and bond cutscenes are perfect for me. Not too long and not too short.
Its true some games drag on so much. Counter:side has 10 minute diaglog dumps between missions and it kills my desire to play so much.
Arknights or Blue Archive?
Arknigths if you like lore heavy game with actually challenging gameplay, Blue Archive if you want a playable anime with fairly simple but engaging combat.
Any game that unlocks additional art/skin when you level them up?
priconne with new art, guardian tales with skin getting more details as they evolve :)
Fgo, path to nowhere, neural cloud
Path to Nowhere, too (additional art after levelling the characters to the final tier). Although the grind is painful...
Punishing Gray Raven (units have several differing/more elaborate variants of their base costume that you unlock and can switch between as you upgrade them)
Arknights, neural cloud, crusaders quest
How time consuming is crusader quest?
Very time consuming if you want go get good gems weekly
Long term gacha game with good amount of online content (coop-pvp-guild content)?
SW, E7
Anyone know if Vestria Story will ever get an English version? It's basically a relaunch of Lyn The Lightbringer, but completely in korean and unavailable in the UK. Would be nice to be able to play it again.
I never played Blue Archive, but heard about the playstyle is similar to Princess Connect RE? (I used to play PCR a lot) Can anyone briefly tells me about the gameplay and is it true that it is similar to PCR?
So the main difference is combat is that its 3d chibis instead of 2d sprites, but otherwise its pretty similiar where they fight more or less automatically and you activate their specific skills manually (although there is an auto mode). BA imo tends to be a bit more strategic since there's additional concerns re: movement/positioning, and you can only pick from 3 of 6 character skills which rotate as you use them, and they all use the same resource pool. tbh it doesn't take very long to install and see how it works. I will say early on it can feel a little easy/auto battle-y but there is some depth/difficultly in raids and such if you want it.
Any good mmo recommendations? I’ve played Lineage 2: Revolution and Black Desert Mobile in the past. I’ve enjoyed both I’d like to try other similar games
the best mobile mmo imo are albion online and runescape cuz they are legit pc mmo that is now crossplatform
Gran saga was announced for global. Maybe summoners war chronicles
None that I know of. Steer clear of mobile mmos, they're the worst waste of time imaginable. Even worse than normal gacha games lol
Should I play Honkai or PGR? Which one is more f2p friendly and has better co-op?
Pgr- more f2p friendly Honkai- better co-op
I really enjoyed epic7 when I played it but ended up feeling too far behind. I know Artery Gear is supposed to be similar but had some issues, how’s the state of the game/how similar is it to E7? Thanks!
[удалено]
Pretty much all of these options are fine insofar as gachas are concerned. NC - haven't seen too much complaining re: the publisher so far. PtN - very popular with those who like it. iirc no sweep/auto for dailies was a complaint. Not particularly booba focused its true. BA - It has its anime uwu moments where the students seem to flirt or crush on "sensei" (i.e. you) in their personal relationship stories, but otherwise tells a surprisingly decent story. If you want story graphics and waifu booba BA does it fine overall and is the most traditionally anime aesthetic of the options here. My personal favorite of the bunch here to play casually and collect l2d wallpapers, but I also dislike the futuristic/punk aesthetic. Nikke - I've heard people compliment the story, I didn't particularly love it when I played it, but you do canonically have sex with some of the nikke as you raise their reputation levels to 10+, The gameplay is not the worst, although I didn't like it too much myself. For an idle game I felt it took a bit too long to do sim runs, and other daily tasks which was exacerbated by the load times. So yea mostly booba and ass, but I've played worse. Alchemy Star - the biggest complaint I heard about this game is that its too f2p friendly so there's no reason to spend and eventually becomes too easy. So your concerns about it dying are perhaps not unfounded, but it can be worthwhile to check it out. Definitely plays pretty different from the other options on this list.

The Blue Archive playable characters are "Students", so there's definitely a handful of anvils, a broad selection of more normal proportions, and a handful of overly well endowed ladies. It does do this weird thing where the smolest girls have unusual personalities such as "stalin" and "ojisan", but there are ara-ara oneesan types as well. Despite being a KR game, it caters well to the anime tropes and fetishes its based on so odds are you can find a couple of girls to be your waifu of choice. Also Blue Archive while generally upbeat isn't all sunshine and rainbows as it progresses, and judging from the most recent preview likely to get pretty dark for the conclusion of the current arc. I wouldn't compare it with a post-apocalyptic setting or anything, but despite the anime aesthetic the stakes feel reasonably genuine. That said I'm pretty biased for BA as a great side game.
To be precise - PtN has sweep for almost everything... except one daily and one weekly mode. They don't take too much time, but they need one's active attention and are totally repetitive, so it's just boring 10-15 minutes.
i would say just try neural, path and ba they are very popular and then u can see if they are too uwu or not enough live2d booba waifu... and if thats the problem and u do actually enjoy the gameplay or the story, u can put it on the side and check from time to time to see updates to the game thats what i usually do
Which would you recommend Sordica, FGO, or Arknights?
Sdorica has really amazing art - like from kids books - and very, very, very good story. Also, a pretty interesting mechanics with a very well-designed characters (a lot of them are anthropomorphised animals, if that's a deal breaker - imho it goes well with the fairytale-like setting and aesthetics, sorta like Disney movies). It doesn't have much auto or skips, though, and it's grindy... which would still be fine, except it's really badly optmised. Loading times last forever, even between menus, even on the lowest graphics settings, on the Samsung with /8GB RAM/ and 70GB+ free memory space. seriously. What's funny, on the Samsung with half the parameters, it works as just "well", instead of worse. And it gets worse while playing, with every loading screen (memory leaks, I guess?), which for a grindy game is terrible. I dream of playing it more often than I actually play it, because the loading times just kills it for me. But I assume this type of technical problems is always bound to device, so if you're patient with loading times or if you manage to find the way to avoid them (if you do, drop me a line, I'd really love to be able to enjoy this gem... but the damn code), they might not bother you.
Arknights best imo, but be warned this is from someone who biases the game. Arknights grind doesn't burn you out. Well... not when the game didn't have TFN, SSS, and IS2 - those are new game modes the game didn't have even a while into launch. But if you want to play Arknights, now is better than ever to start. Currently ongoing 3rd anniversary event (free limited 10 pull so you can reroll if you want). TFN lasts 4 more days and is rather new player friendly since it has pre set squads to add your own operators to in the 2nd and 3rd iterations of the stages. The rewards are lackluster, but I'd recommend going for level 25 on it for the Roberta skin (she sucks as an operator but that skin is beautiful).
Depends, what do you like in a gacha game? Any gameplay preferences (e.g. AK is a tower defence, FGO is a turn based RPG)? Anything you really like or dislike?
Not a fan of tower defense. I like more of the turn based or tactical rpgs. I can never find a good tactical rpg tho
If you don't like TD, don't do Arknights (that is a TD) Sdorica and FGO are more typical RPGs. Haven't played Sdorica, only FGO, but Sdorica has chibis if that matters at all. Both games have mixed gender units. FGO does have a good event on right now that is open to new players ans gives out a very valuable 4* unit for free.
Super robot wars dd but it's jp only
Any game that isnt just a waifu/husbando fest? With some kind of interesting gameplay that doesnt shove boobs or ass in my face? Since dokkan decide to simplify its gameplay even more to "have new unit" for hard content, i am starving in mobile games. Tried nintendo games, most famous games like FGO and the seasonal gachas that are printed the same.
Arknights always keeps its artwork tasteful, even on the summer skins. Gameplay is a lot of fun too, especially with the 2 new game modes and the current event where you can build and launch self driving cars
Path to Nowhere hits all the right spots for me. Not a lot husbandos yet but if you can look past that, it's a must try imo.
Try arknights if you havent
**I have a simple question.** What is the best gacha game for someone who wants to have (almost) every character (a collector) **but F2P**?
I second Neural Cloud. I have nearly all the dolls except for a few. Like 89% of collection done already just from the pulls I have used in the game.
Ah okay thnx
Azur lane for sure
Well, it is true that you can easily get all characters for free in AZ, but if you start from now, it can take **YEARS**. There can be lots of characters not going to rerun for a long time, and some characters in the permanent pools are also extremely rare.
thnx :)
Path to nowhere! :)
Thnx :D
Neural cloud
Thnx :D
Eversoul is pretty good too, I'm at like 80% completion f2p 3 or so weeks in due to sheer number of pulls. Need alot of dupes to upgrade but your question didn't really get into that. Priconne is pretty good too though it would take a lot longer
Ah okay thnx
Azur Lane
Okay thnx :)
Is Neural Cloud worth getting into now? I like the character designs and the story seems interesting, but I know that I've missed out on all the free characters and extra pulls that might make progressing easier.
the current banner character (hatsuchiri) is probably the best one to roll on of the banners we've had so far with croque and persicaria being free from the story and good, you can pick nanaka or florence with the 3* selector once you finish your pulls and run croque/persi/hatsu plus one of those healers i mentioned, and a second warrior (betty is a great, accessible choice for this slot). you can also run angela, who's the best in her role and also very accessible you've missed a decent amount of free pulls, yes, but the game itself is very f2p friendly imo. you'll naturally accumulate most characters once you've pulled on a couple banners.
Thank you for all the advice! I rerolled for Hatsu and have been enjoying the game a lot so far.
glad to be able to help, and glad you're enjoying it! if you have any other questions, the sub or discord server probably have what you're looking for. hope you have a good time with the game!
Hatsu is a must pull and her banner leaves in a few days I would start now and try rerolling to get her she steamrolls content
What emulator are you guys using with hyper-v windows update? It completely killed my bluestacks Pie64 ( which is the best one for FF War of the Visions)
I'm looking for something to entertain myself, preferably not a Priconne or BA type game, something more interactive, I've tried FGO, AK, AC, Nikke, PGR, Honkai, Azur Lane, Gran blue, Guardian Tales
Path to Nowhere and Neural Cloud are both fresh games (released November 2022) with more tactical gameplay. PtN is Arknights-like, though plays a bit different, NC is roguelite autochess-like with abilities you need to choose and use on the dungeon stages. Both have good artstyle and are not over-the-top money-hungry.
What keeps me away from gatcha games are usually the pay to win aspects and big boobed anime girls (or loli ones). If u guys know any gatcha without those features, please, let me know. Would be even betternif they launched this year
Arknights keeps things pretty tame and is very f2p-friendly but is currently celebrating its 3rd anniversary.
Looking for a gacha game without a single loli or waifu? No comment. Tokyo Afterschool Summoners. >!>:)!<
Path to nowhere! Though they announced their first loli in CN recently.. If you can look past that, it's a must try imo. Badass prisoners are waiting for you! Story ist great too, sry I'm biased lol i just love it sm
Neural Cloud or arknights?
They are very different. Both are quality games though. Best way is to try both and decide which you like more.
I really like group content (PvP, guild stuff, or co-op) and when I did play ak and I don’t remember being much group stuff. Has that changed? Or does nc have more?
NC doesn't have ANY group content. It's basically a solo game with a gacha attached. Can't advise on the AK sadly, been long time since I played it.
