The ONLY Gacha Tier List You'll Ever Need [An Inside Perspective]

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 พ.ค. 2024
- I do love me some Gacha games; they're the only game genre that I poke my head into every once in a while on mobile. Since I have a fair bit of experience in the genre, and the few videos that I've seen on the topic weren't to my tastes, I thought I'd throw my hat into the ring. This is the first video in the Inside Perspective series, which just means I don't have to state that I am not a professional multiple times. Timestamps for the games being discussed are below, and timestamps for the music used will be in the comments.

Where is Limbus Company. >:(
@@stealthily6668wait holy shit i met someone else who plays.
wanna friend each other?
Take a shot everytime he pronounces "Hilichurls" wrong and you might be dead
It's funny since Hu Tao's idle animation pronounces it, my brain just cemented it as Hitchicurl for whatever reason.
I wont die its only 4 after all. More likely to get drunk if you named everything he mispronounced but i dont blame him. Hell AK has worse to pronounce. Lol
I felt pain seeing when he used Raiden Burst on the Cryo Regisvine and then switched out, esp without breaking the cryo first
Isn't Raiden a battery? Plus it's a Regisvine anyway, it got one-cycled by Hu Tao.
@@remyskosmThe skill? Yeah, it's a battery. You press E and switch out.
But the burst should've been used till it's end
Arknights' difficulty being labeled as a number bloat issue feels kinda painful to hear considering that there's a challenge niche where they play only unpromoted characters even at the hardest challenges...The biggest contributor for the game's difficulty is not of stats but understanding of the mechanics and enemies on the stage.
For example on the showcased stage 2-10 the left side of the map enemies are weak against "arts/magic" damage, even by just enemy visuals, enemies with shields/armor in the game is most likely weak to magic. On the right side most of the mobs are weak so you only need one decent melee unit but there are enemy drones that fly so you need an anti-air unit to deal against them.
To learn about these enemy weaknesses you can check the "enemies" page before you start the stage and then observe the indicators for the enemy pathways.
It's nice to hear that one of the biggest gachas has more strategic depth than I thought. Probably went in with the wrong mindset of powerleveling the highest pulled rarity. I still have it installed, so I might give it another go and revise my rating.
@@remyskosm Definitely give it another try, you'll be missing all the depth in the gameplay if you dont go even past chapter 4, you won't believe how creative mechanics get especially at event stages and other unlockable content.
Also maybe a bit of tip, its quite recommend raising lower tier units first simply because they're efficient for how small investment you'll need to give them for a big stat increase, some low-tier operators actually have higher base stats compared to their higher rarity counterparts, their difference comes mainly from their skills they can use.
@@remyskosmIts hard to usually out power the early game with the shiny 6 stars for two reasons
1. Using too many high rarity especially 6* will cause your dp economy to plummet. If you noticed they are very expensive to place than lower rarity ones
2. Units in the game has 2 skills (3 for 6*) where the succeeding ones can be accessed via promoting. In 6* characters case most Elite 0 skills are AWFUL.
This is what seperates arknights from the other games on the list. They dont want you to ungga bungga through the game that easily
@@remyskosm As stated before, this game has much more depth than it might seem on the surface. One of my friends that doesn't even play compared it to a standard tower defense like TDBloons, which hurt my soul. In standard tower defense games you just upgrade your characters and put them in front of the blue box hoping you've got enough stats, and if not you just keep upgrading. While it's somewhat true in arknights, there are a lot of situations in which the only thing that can make a difference is your brain. Playing the hard stage on practice mode, learning the timings of the enemies and their weaknesses, and coordinating them to the retreat, deployement, and skill recovery rate of your operators is what makes this game pretty damn unique. In the HARDEST stages (aka Contingency Contracts/some story stages), or when imposing yourself a challenge, it's all about knowledge, timing and being really precise.
Honestly there are only a very select few units in the game that you can even able to afford to powerlevel at the beggining. Most cases it's pretty useless to do that because the stronger skills on 6 star operators are locked behind the E2 wall, and those skills are usually the bread and butter of 6 stars. So apart from the minimal amount of stats you get for the amount of materials you need to spend on those last 30 levels, it's just not worth it. Not to say that most stages require you to be able to defend in more than one place, so funneling the materials just onto the 6 stars makes your life just harder.
I've played many many gachas, such as Azur lane (2yrs), Honkai Impact (2yrs+ since launch), Genshin (since launch), etc... But the only one that stuck with me for the full duration was Arknights (with a total of 3 years+ of logins, I think lol), and for a good reason.
The designs were what caught my attention, but excellent storywriting and worldbulding was what kept me, but this last part might not be for everyone.
The only big deterrent that is not gameplay for this game is the amount of text and information you have to read and keep.
@@remyskosm Youre in shock if you know that a full max operators and half maxed level operators can complete a stage almost at the same time in latter stages.
I agree that you acknowledge the approach to AK with a wrong mindset. Definitely need a more try.
As someone who's played both games, seeing Arknights below FEH hurts my soul.
As someone who's played Girls Frontline for 2 years, seeing Arknights below GFL hurts my soul as well
@@711ish As someone who's played Girls Frontline for 3 years, EL MAO
I can feel you as an ex-feh player because in gameplay arknight is so much better since even low rarity unit can fare well in mission unlike feh where you have to rely on newly released unit to do well (there some exception but i dont want to even rely on some edelgard alt to be decent in pvp)
@@bulby1529unless you are a sweaty try hard or a whale you can play PvP until you are at the ranges of Tier 19-20 every week with totally free Grail units and easy to get gacha units. The same thing goes for Aether Raids, and even then, the game gives you enough currency to spark twice per month for the current meta units (ar at least within the current power level). Not to even mention that every single PvE content can be currently cleared with free units without any investment required. You should know that if you really played it.
you only really have to do this in PVP/competitive gamemodes since any comp feh player worth their salt at least field some new/meta units to take advantage, campaign/story you can just use any armor unit/statstick dodge character to just breeze through and it doesnt even HAVE to be the latest armor units/statstick dodge character@@bulby1529
15:04 Calling buster type worst with Koyan on a background, impressive, that's some rare nonsense. Right now the worst is definitely quick on both JP and NA.
Yeah, script was drafted before she came out on NA. Couldn't gauge Buster relative to Quick since I don't have any Quick lineups, so I left it as is.
@@remyskosm Its hard to keep up with everything.
Hello I come from the future, Edmond user here, while quick is the worst, it doesn't mean that it is BAD
"The game is fun until you're burnt out, then it's hard to get back in."
Relatable honestly.
Applies to most gamea tbh, I just thought that it was extremely pronounced for Genshin in particular.
good vid but the "number issue" take on arknights was insane because thats literally the last thing you can criticize about ak.Theres so many creators that clear content with E0 characters its like solving a puzzle you dont need to invest alot in your characters in that game
I definitely went into Arknights with the wrong mindset, given how little effort other gachas take.
Fancy seeing you here
If you wanna give PGR another try I recommend you playing in PC, the controls feel much better. Also for me PGR I treat it as non-gacha, because every new banner guarantees the limited unit, so you barely ever gamble, it's basically like saving to buy the character every banner instead of pull and pray.
Yeah, I can definitely see how PC would be the preferred platform for PGR. A fun game to be sure, but I play gacha games on mobile for the quick fix, which is reflected by how many of them that I no longer play on a consistent basis.
Yeah don't bother, you'll get folded.
@@alicedescartes I don't remember PGR being a difficult game, but hilarious input nonetheless.
@@remyskosmits kinda hard on later part of the game.. tho the gen 2 attacker chars made it a bit easier XD
I'll take your word for it
Arknights is the longest gacha game I've stayed with, at 4 years. The next closest contender is Genshin, at a little over 2 years before I burned out.
It's amazing how Arknights keeps releasing new content that is meaningful to do with a fully leveled squad. Even after 4 years, I ACTUALLY feel excitement getting free stuff in the mail because it means I can build more operators and open up new strategies.
Fate grand order is known for the story and music. Lostbelt 6 is literary perfection. Also buster is the best system by a wide margin since the release of Oberon and Koyanskaya
Well, at least my stubbornness in running Jalter has been rewarded. The story may be one of the biggest appeals, but I enjoy the gameplay nonetheless.
The gameplay is surprisingly good. The card system is just timeless. Few hands feel identical and there’s a certain match 3 element to it that just pleasing
imo, Lostbelt 6.3 could have been more fleshed out, but still best chapter in FGO hands down
and for the hentai
I would definitely not say that buster is better than arts, but it definitely isn’t the worst card type.
i usually dont get much into the story i play for gameplay, but arknights is one of the few gacha’s that got me to research the lore. every new event is exciting and brings new mechanics. they add new game modes all the time to keep things fresh. skins can be bought with in game currency. rates are pretty nice compared to other games since you just need the character no added artifact or weapon (and dupes are never necessary they barely add anything to the character so you only need one copy) I’ve played every game on this list and more but idk arknights just has me in a grip hold. It took me a second to really get an understanding of the mechanics, but once you get over the initial hump things become a lot more fun. you start mixing and matching operators that work best together. There’s just so many mechanics that make the game much more strategy based. There’s phys/arts damage split, phys def (flat) vs arts res (percentage), arts damage buffers, flat and percentage based attack buffers, def/arts res debuffers, fragility (percent damage debuff), multiple types of crowd control, and new stage mechanics every event. Once i learned the mechanics the game became way more interesting to play.
I think that one of the highest accolades a game can receive is getting their players invested in its lore.
@@remyskosmstory and worldbuilding are peak, writing is 😭
I suggest giving Path to Nowhere another shot. It has one of the best storytelling I've seen in any gacha game, on par with the likes of Reverse 1999, especially in the later chapters. It's fully voice acted too, not to mention the beautiful characters, beautiful skins, banger music, really fun events, very fast dailies, little-to-no RNG in the gearing system, and the fact that it's very F2P friendly (they give a lot of gacha currency). The only downsides it has that I can think of are the time-limited gear (ToA crimebrands), how slow it is to level-up the characters, and the fact that the combat might not be for everyone. Overall I think it's a very underrated game, they really should promote it more with a focus on the story like what Hi3rd did.
If there is any game on this list that I'd give another chance, it's Path to Nowhere. I'd have to reread what little story I got through, though, since you're saying the story is a big draw.
Preach brother the story is soooo good! The MC is such a badass which is awesome cause I'm tired of the bland MC's most gachas have. Chap 1-2 gave me massive Gotham vibes, I was so immersed. Chap 3-6 had me at the edge of my seat and Chap 7-8 was so beautiful it has to be my favorite. Haven't really reached Chapter 9 and 10 yet but I'm willing to bet it's just as good if not better
Brooo, Path To Nowhere has the slowest grind I have ever experienced, but man they know how to make a splash with writing and art. The characters and still arts are designed beautifully, and the story, even if you don't really understand the specifics, the writers know how to build emotional tension and capitalize on it.
Definitely think that the artstyle is, at a glance, the biggest draw aside from maybe the ost. It's a fresh addition, like how animes distanced themselves from the more traditional style of drawing eyes in the late 2000s.
@@lesmoonwalker PTN does take a while to grind in somecases especially at the start but compared to Genshin it's not really slow *unless* you are building multiple S-Ranks to max at the same time, and/or use all or even most of the resource crates from events, the Surveillance Order(battlepass), and regularly occurring login events to level up skills which is a major (I'm pretty sure unintentional) pitfall for new player and players that don't know better. Take this with a grain of salt since I'm in the late-game, it usually takes me like 2-3 days to have enough rank up materials to get a new S-Rank to P3 LV70 if I don't already have the materials and as for the level up materials, DisCoins and Mania Crystals, I usually have enough of both at any given time to level up a new S-Rank all the way to LV80 and get at least one of their skills to 8(max is 10) which is usually good enough. The one exception is the class specific phase up resource which usually takes me 2-3 days to farm for and only 3 of the 6 classes are available any given day outside of the last day of the server week.
Also I feel the need to clarify that when I say "2-3 days" I mean like 2 minutes tops to do all dailies, spend all stamina, claim the free stamina refreshes, use those up, and excluding doing Battlefrontline for the premium currency which only needs to be done three time the entire week to get all the hypercubes or even 90% of them if you aren't feeling it that week. All in all, I feel like the time you need to dedicate purely to just farming is a fraction of what's needed for games like Genshin, FGO, and even Arknights. Again this is kinda dependent on having a team that can clear most of the Story, farming, and event stages which isn't actually that difficult to build especially with units like Che and Labyrinth who are of the lowest rarity but as useful as S-Ranks, Laby especially basically being a psuedo S-Rank in my opinion just due to how crazy well she preforms(She's even fun to use to boot) and even S-Ranks, so long as you complete the Beginner event to get that free NOX who has been meta with low investment since day one (On a sidenote: if Remys reads this or even anyone who tried PTN but dropped it early and wants to revisit it and you didn't get the free NOX, honestly if you don't feel really attached to the account and you're still at the very beginning of the game and especially if you didn't yet get an S-Rank then just make a new account. Yes, that free NOX is that worth it as she can carry you through the begining to CH8 and the only reason she can't *carry* you further is because the difficulty spike in CH9 can only be truly overcome through strategy as pure reliance on numbers will kill you(Not to say that NOX becomes any less useful as she still remains just as powerful, it's just that you can't get carried in the harder content)).
I know this is all a tiny bit over the top of a response to you're comment, it's just I really in love with PTN, although I won't blindly defend it, I do acknowledge that it has its faults and isn't for everyone, but I do want more people to try it out because in my eyes it has one of the best stories in all gaming and I'd say the best story of all gatcha and I say this because of its storytelling. With all of the main story and all event stories(even if it takes a week after the event releases for it to be implemented) fully voice acted voice acted and in English too and fantastic storytelling and world building, PTN has ruined reading the stories in other gatchas for me, even Arknights which I still hold as having the best world building just can't compare in my eyes anymore and I'm even starting to see flaws in other gatchas' storytelling because of my experience with how well PTN does it which is just insane with how I went into PTN a day after global launched expecting it to be a fanservice heavy, kinda raunchy, bare bones game in-terms of story with how it was advertised and presented, and now I'd say it's one of the least lewd games and has some of the deepest characterization and so much thought was put into it that it wouldn't surprise me if the devs came out and said that they wrote 90% of the story first and then made a game around it.
Limbus Company? Literally the most F2P friendly, most fun and even challenging, visually beautiful, with an interesting world, lore, writing and story for the game that has a track of 2 different full on games, a comic and a novel + visual novel in the making ALL AT THE SAME TIME. You can't even FOMO with it (besides decorative banners for the profile), as all events besides logins are just in the main story. Genshin was my favorite since it felt like an actual video game but Limbus just trumps it with sheer consistency and how just genuienly GOOD it is. Not to mention, they didnt even give you a reason to use the gacha for nearly a year...
"LIMBUSS COMPANYYYY" - some yellow haired individual
fgo alr have it soooooooooooooooooooo
Limbus company has more than 100 status effects and requires heavy reading. And it's incredibly grindy
@@Gquain Grind for what exactly? You can play your weekly, thats 23 BP levels, now do it 2 weeks in a row. Thats 130~ boxes. Basically already there for a whole ass 000 unit, since on avg you need 150 boxes. And Im not considering your daily BP points. Or weekly BP points. Or grind (gasp!) BP points, 30 points a pop so you get 9 boxes. I literally havent grinded since season 1 (and in season 1 the mirror dungeon was dogshit and what I said pretty much didnt exist) and I didnt have to grind all of season 2, at first anniv im finally running out of boxes. Sure, if youre new youre you wont have the luxury of playing the earlier seasons, but after 2-3 weeks your BP is already full and you can enjoy getting whatever you want as the season rolls on. But then there is also the issue of "what do you need the units exactly for if you can beat everything with the better than avg 00 and rudimentary 000" so grinding is kinda lol. And yes, you WILL read or you will die, thats a staple of every PM game. Too bad it takes 4 chapters for the gameplay to kick in.
there's like 9 status@@Gquain
A gacha tier list without Honkai impact but have Genshin, unbelievable
Played a couple of these. Based on my overall experience, Punishing Graven Raven is definitely my personal SSR.
The number bloat issue in AK exists if the player chooses to bloat the numbers of enemies up (Ex: high risk CC and higher difficulty integrated strategies). But as far as I have played AK, you don't need the shiniest new 6* to clear stages because you could do fine with lower rarity ones, you just need to think and find the right solutions to a specific stage, if you can't, then find a guide or borrow a unit from a friend.
Numbers bloat feels like the last thing you could address about AK because there are more glaring ones like:
- Powercreep
- 300 pulls for spark
- Soul sucking farm mechanics
- Base mechanic remaining untouched for years
I've played the game for around 3 years now, these are some of the more glaring issues that I've noticed, but nonetheless I continue to play it because of the extensive lore, art, generosity, pretty great endgame content (it has a permanent themed roguelike with different endings), and definitely music.
Those do seem like significant issues, but I'm not sure about the last point. I'd assume that they've iterated upon their formula for events or the latest stages, but I can't say since I haven't experienced either.
Blue archive, Epic seven, legendxclover, H. Star rail, H. Impact, last claudia, another eden, Guardian tales. would like to here your opinion on these gachas.
Grand summoners also
Guardian tales is a good gacha cause characters are great so is there weapons for exclusive ability but gacha wise I can miss few days, week and even a month an be able to keep up, an the developers love their community so they give out goodie often as appreciation for players support
LegendXClover 💀
FEH but with banger plot
Holy shit someone finally mentioned last cloudia
Tbh Epic Seven generosity make Genshin Impact look like a greedy as hell company
I think the genshin exploration limitation is more or less gone by now, especially with the introduction of multilevel maps and fontaine in particular. I always liked that you could basically farm for all kinds of stuff in the overworld, ignoring all the resin resources. Farming basic mats from monsters, farming items for character ascensions, chasing down every oculus and chest, hunting for all the puzzles, and also trying to do all the world quests different npcs offer (often you have to approach them to trigger a multi-quest chain so you wont see it by default)... and there are also hidden achievements that grant you even more primos. Imo genshin reception completely depends on the type of player you are - casually, youll have a great time bc youll go thru the story at a healthy pace and not burn out, but hardcore powering thru everything (esp if you dont care about lore and the hidden bits literally everywhere and just skip all dialogue) will be Burnout Fiesta and you wont have fun doing nothing but logging in to clear resin/grind for artifacts and getting out. The writers from MHY do a great job, and theyve improved tremendously on their execution over the various regions (shoutout to inazuma/ekanomia i hated you sm). Its a big of a slog to get thru the early stages as a new player now, but pacing yourself can prevent a lot of overexhaustion and gave me a better longevity to playing the game (coming from someone who cleared dragonspine day 1 in its initial hours). Wish they improved the gacha rates like the 75/25 for weapons in HSR bc despite the abundant primos provided in recent events that consistently come up, having 2x weapon and 2x character banners at once is a pain in the *ss. That being said, its very f2p since you just gotta pull who you actually like since meta is for sweaty whales
Genshin definitely is F2P friendly. At the time that I was playing Genshin, I did pop open nearly every chest and oculus, but there was only Mondstadt and Liyue to churn through. I was largely ambivalent about the storywriting (if I knew there was a skip option I would've used it), but from everything I've heard it has ramped up significantly in Fontaine and the other new place.
@@remyskosm totally fair! I felt the same too, and was hardcore zoomin early game. Its why i really suffered after inazuma where regions and quests started getting super long, and by ekanomia i was so fizzled out i just stopped playing regularly, esp as someone who tries to read basically all dialogue and lore i come across. I only reset properly around sumerus release and got to slow down which made my experience much better, which coupled with your bang on comment about fontaine really solidified genshin as a daily, or at least frequently played game again. That being said, im p sure theres still no skipping, so the places where they just.... wont.... stop... talking... will probably be a big no for you
@@remyskosm yeah they solve a lot of issues that it had back then like events requiring stamina, now they dont and give a fair ammount of primogems, you can even go right away to sumeru and fontaine, i even went to inazuma cheesing early game sub rank 10 oof with the introduction of HSR they are adding quality of life things that evryone liked in HSR like the daily quests getting completed by doing story etc, that helps too by claiming the rewards with under leveled charaters for friendship for example, they add the player housing at some point too and you can boost friendship there and get materials by just decorating kinda arknights style but easier since theres no resource management.
Personally i don't skip the story but i still got burnt out
Puzzles are meh, in most cases you just repeatedly do it until one of them is correct. It personally got boring for me after a while, especially with Inazuma and later regions where the number of puzzles dramatically increased. You can't even get a common chest without solving a very long puzzle.
World quests are literally all hyperfocused on boring, bland and almost always unlikable NPCs you will probably never see again. There are literally no playable characters in those quests.
Archon quest is good. But after you do it there isn't much to do.
@@CzDelta92only 1.0 and 1.1 events required resin.
I would like to see your opinion on limbus and the battle cats, 2 of the best (imo) gacha games out there atm. I still think this, even after playing through most of the ones mentioned here. Though, you may not get a lot of limbus as most of its lore is set in an already established universe following lob corp and library of ruina (the gameplay is similar to limbus by a large margin).
Please try limbus company it has a relatively good story going in blind even if you never play the prequel it's also unnaturally f2p friendly while at the same time requiring a good amount of braincell to play.
Limbus Conpany is near the front of the waiting line.
Underrated gem for sure; combat might seem too complex, but beyond that imaginary wall is just a "chill experience" (-45 sanity? Relax and enjoy) like no other game
if you ever get the chance try honkai impact just the story ...it will blow your world.
@remyskosm and guardian tales.
Limbus gameplay was unique and it was challenging.
i wish limbus company as in this tier list
good gacha game with good story, ost and characters that you will cry when them suddly die to a apple because why not
the game in itself dont need to much the gacha and when there a glitch or bug the devs quickly fix it and give some currecy
Genshin banner doesn’t work like that btw, first 5 star on the limited banner is a 50/50 to be the five star or one of the 7 standard banner characters (qiqi, Jean, diluc, keqing, Mona, dehya and tignari) if you get a standard banner character your next character will 100% be the limited five star (pity transfers across different limited banners) and weapons can be obtained from standard or weapon banner
i feel like this is a heavily biased tier list but its your own tier list and i respect that.
Been playing ValCon since 2019 and the game as is right now, all I can say is goodluck grinding for the whole year for 1 unit
There might be a gacha game, that might interest you: "Guardian Tales"
Personally, great story
Even if it's pixels they still manage to make great jokes and references in it
The gacha pulls are also great where you only pay for 9 pulls instead of 10 for a 10 pull, which motivates you on saving up
Bunch of Minigames make it also fun
Started playing a little while ago. Pretty fun, but I don't think I'm far enough (World 4) to have the minigames available.
@@remyskosmJust keep playing, the minigames/side contents are mostly for mid/late game players. just enjoy and play the main story first since it can increase your lvl cap
and glad you enjoy it tho, just saying that the story will get more intresting up from w7/8. there's currently 17 worlds as of writing this
@@remyskosmgreat game kinda unpopulater tho
As someone who quit the guardian tales out of frustation, i will warn you. IT GETS HARD.
As someone who also couldn't go beyond chapter 4 without a guide, I can guarantee Arknights demands actual strategy, not big numbers
I wonder what you'd think about Battle Cat's; it's kinda interesting in terms of being a gacha game for me, and the first one I ever played. Also, there's strange-looking cats
I saw epic 7 on the initial tier list at the start where it showed the massive list of anime derived games and was looking forward to what someone who hasnt played for a long time thinks about it. I really enjoy it, but maybe in another video
0:55 the moment you said granblue fantasy become "anime-inspired gacha game" the moment i knew this video gonna be fnck np at some level anyway
It was in the convenient rectangle.
5 years of Azur Lane and I have yet to burn out. Best gacha for me!
For me, GFL become like this standard or reference point for gacha game. Like it's the only game THAT I KNEW SO FAR for being totally F2P (minus costume gacha). You want certain character? Just use your resource for it (it also have spark-like thing for character, the name is Anchored Construction, guaranteed at 50x pull iirc). META? You can also use non meta unit for fighting enemies with a little bit of difficulty. You want to clear Normal mode and challenge mode both at the same time? Sure, just play the challenge mode and you can get both normal and challenge reward (usually from big major event, they also add Nightmare mode). You on low resource? Just do logistic and done. You want some free stuff? Exploration mode is the answer. For newbie who want to start to play, they give you free T-doll with 4x link with level 70 and some free stuff on you done with mission. Also when you play major event, they also give you some sort of core that you can exchange to the T-doll that you don't have (or you can exchange for an avatar icon lmao)
The only downside for GFL is obviously the bug lmao and not many people play this game. But hey, at least the game is still alive unlike Revived Witch
GFL is pretty notable for doing very little wrong. It is also close to an order of magnitude more F2P friendly than other gachas by nature. Granted, from where I stand, many gachas are F2P friendly.
Damn finally you made me remember the name of Devil Maker: Tokyo again. I Played this from 2013, until shut down and I couldn't figure out the name anymore. It was soooo good (looking at the gameplay today it looks ass). The Raids and stuff had such a good feel to it. Thing was, that I never could put any money into the game, because it somehow was restricted in Germany.
Great game, glad to be of help.
FGO being UR is absolutely peak! I always thought the game is hot trash due to its rates but I gave it a shot a couple of months ago and I'm probably hooked for life now, INCREDIBLE story from Camelot and beyond, amazing music, very funny events (Summer or Guda Guda) lots of tear jerking moments in the campaign, and EXTREMELY powerful low rarity and free units that literally stand the test of time (so many day 1 servants who are to this day top tier), to anyone reading this, one of the most popular characters in the game is a literal 1 star who DIES after using one ability, that's how cool the character abilities are in this game.
moment of silence for all the arashes that have died for our ember farming
Good for you to enjoy that hell of grind. I got bored pretty easily if i'm not getting any new servants. Heck, the rate up always a lie afterall
I always saw as being that, while units are harder to get in fgo, each of them is also worth more than other games' units with how relevant they are after 2 years or more, basically while rates are higher in a game like feh for example, each fgo unit it's worth 15 feh units (to +10 and full skill a unit) so it balances out, not to mention the story being so good
16:51 feel this one as someone who salted out because dumped all quartz savings into waifu rolling (also jalter)p
itd have been less bitter if the unit was someone i actually needed so I can cope and say ‘it is what it is’ but husbando/waifu rolling and seeing all your fund fly to the wind is painpeko
Personalized gachas, either that or it's just in character.
"im telling you this right now kids if your not selling your souls to 2D girls something is wrong"
Well if you sell your soul to 2D girls, its price is only going down, so they'll hold onto it forever. Or at least until a garage sale.
For me personally, I rank games lower due to something I like to call the "Chore factor". Do I need to do a 9-5 on the game every day to get stuff? Probably won't be playing for long lmao I dropped a lot of gachas on many people's top 10 because of this. Anyway, nice video.
Khux is in the same boat as Fire Emblem. It's a game with anime looking characters, but they're not based on an anime. The game shut down 2 years ago I think. Dark road, a separate game mode i guess, is at "offline mode" indefinitely. Basically, you can play them game, but all its gachas have been removed.
I was pleasantly surprised to see KanColle painted in a good light for once, although I would argue about its gacha status. While trying to make it work again, have you stumbled across my videos to install my english patch?
I have not, I just messed with the old KC3 extension and a vpn until it worked. Overall, I think Kancolle had a very good run, and although it's still going, I doubt I'll have anywhere near the same level of investment as before. Is it a gacha? Not blatantly, but since there's some wiggle room I put it in anyway, same way that Clash Royale is shoehorned in.
@@remyskosm That's fair enough and I honestly can't complain about the gacha part lol
If you ever wanna try diving back into it, here's a document that details everything: docs.google.com/document/d/1S3-Uv9wbuv2lAkjc_5oH6T069rb7QlTP90W2AHoNPzg
@@remyskosm Kancolle is definitely 0% gacha, since it's a direct P2W model with absolutely no RNG involved
You get exactly what you pay for since the shop has fixed prices for every consumables and upgrades, and the ship building RNG doesn't matter whatsoever as you only ever use that function to clear those two daily quests
I mean, if Kancolle isn't a gacha then neither is GFL, at the end of the day. Unless you call GFL a gacha exlusively due to the furniture coins.
thank you for your work here
It wasn't much, since these were games that I either played and moved on from or am still actively playing. The follow-up with recommended gachas will be a much higher hurdle, just because it'll be difficult to play them all to an extent that I feel an unbiased opinion can be given.
The appeal of THLW to a Touhou fan, at least for me, is seeing characters who will probably never interact with each other meet and become friends with one another. There's hundreds of characters in Touhou, and they all get SOME time to shine in THLW. When will you ever see Hina, a measly stage 2 boss who never reappears in another game after TH10, get the spotlight in Touhou canon? Despite that, she's had at least two events focused around (or at least named after) her, by the time I stopped playing, anyways. Have you ever thought about what would happen if Hecatia, Yamame, Jo'on, and Yachie interacted together? (For non-Touhou fans, Hecatia is an extra stage boss, the goddess of (a) hell; Yamame is the stage one boss, she's a spider with no story relevance in the only game she appears in; Jo'on is some rich god (I don't know the fighters very well) who only appears in a spin-off; and I really don't know much about Yachie but she, like all the others, is from a different game.) Neither have I, yet THLW made a whole event around that team. TWICE. That's definitely the reason why I played for as long as I did, I only stopped because the powercreep and sticking every single character into a swimsuit got tiring (I don't play gachas too often). You'll do fine as an f2p if you have only one favorite character and save up to pull for them, I just have too many favorites, haha.
tl;dr, THLW is a cool way to see characters who have never interacted in canon Touhou to interact with each other
I'd say that the fighting games showcase character interactions as well, albeit to a lesser extent. THLW is definitely a great boon to those who are invested into the world of Gensokyo, though.
As FEH player, who started on the 1st year and hops in and out from time to time i feel like the game completely lost it's appeal of building up your favourite characters mostly. My team of gen 1 +10 5* w/ all the new skills i could give them and fairly high flowers struggles to clear even some of the story chapters. It's also feels like we're getting more alts than actual characters
I just don't know. With the addition of arcane weapons and X skills, I can't imagine that characters could be walled extensively. And this is coming from a guy who runs +10 Book 1 F!Robin and +10 Book 2 L!Robin. The alts seem like simple supply and demand, but they're definitely getting inundated in some cases.
ngl i was quite suprised that Guardian tales didnt make it up to the tier list lol
story is pretty good with tons of references,whilst the gameplay is simple and fun and gacha is uh a bit hellish but kind of fair since you can basically pick whatever hero you want with pity tickets
Me when no WB
I still remember at launch when Girls Frontline didn't have the massive memory leak/performance issues it has had for years now which makes the game actually unplayable on phones that don't have enough RAM and also drains the battery faster than any other mobile game I've ever seen
As someone who's played over 20 gachas I really feel you're missing out on Honkai Impact 3rd. Definitely the best story in a gacha imo. Totally recommend
Could very well be the case. Normally story isn't a big consideration when churning through gacha games, but being recommended it with such consistency makes me think it really is something worthwhile.
Nah just a shit game
Also fair
FGO is definitely the best considering its dated graphics yet still strong playerbase up to this day
Best story in a gacha 🤣🤣🤣🤣 gtfo mediocre enjoyer
This video will be studied years from now to get a deeper understanding on the definition of the word 'bias'
I've switched over from GFL to Neural Cloud at this point, it's the basically a spin-off prequel to GFL with much more replayability. Think Team Fight Tactics but with the GFL Dolls
Good sell, I'll give you that.
If you think Nike's gameplay is repeatetive, then I don't believe you've played the game as extensively enough to get a good grasp on the gameplay.
It has dozens of gameplay content, dozens of enemy types and bosses, there are solo and party raid, and various types of gameplay formats like wall defense and whatnot. There's honestly plenty to go around, at least enough for me to get entertained.
I also quite don't understand the "5" rating on Nikke's longevity.
Also, you're rating these gachas whilst forgoing some of the most important things: Lore/worldbuilding, story/plot/writing, and music.
For me, I found most of the different gameplay formats beyond the story mode to be a chore, which, in turn, led to the 5 rating for longevity.
All the criteria you mentioned are valid metrics for rating, but consider that gacha games are mostly mobile games. I don't have the stats, but I'd wager good money that a majority of players skip stories whenever possible, and have their phones ln mute. I really don't believe that they are grading parameters that would affect most players. That said, pretty much every gacha I've played has had servicable osts at the very least, so the overall ratings wouldn't shift around much at all with regards to that.
Have you ever heard of Limbus company? I suggest you give it a shot if you have spare time.
I love gachas but I cant get into ones that uses an anime IP. So this tier list is literally perfect. Thank you
A kindred spirit, you're welcome.
If your looking a gacha game that can focus an a small cast of characters, you should try limbus company
What about Blue Archive? I know that literally everyone knows about Unwelcome school but have you tried it? What's your rank on tierlist?
I haven't tried it because I think the teacher-student dynamic is odd, but I'll almost certainly give it a shot when I can't unearth any other gachas.
@@remyskosm Ahhhh. I see. Looking forward to your review.
Damn it’s a shame to see Konofan ranked so low but I’m glad at least someone people know it exists wished it was ranked higher but honestly that’s probably just my biased since I’ve played since the first New years banner.
If memory serves, I found out about it from an ad. I don't have much good to say about the gameplay, but the gacha system had fairly generous rates.
my ass was shocked for awhile after watching fgo on UR but in the end the game is fun with new event or old events cause u can read the dialogue that is not longer as well as fun to read and in gameplay wise its not be par with open world type of thing but for gacha game it is on my top of the list and yeah Fgo is still not dead cause of the stories,event and new servants that will make u hard and of course the fanbase thats why in my opinion fgo should be UR(or something)
I haven't had the chance to interact with the fanbase for FGO, so I'm not sure how their influence stacks up. Unless you mean the thriving artist community, then yeah.
was excited to see BA since the ost being played in the beginning is from it :(
I feel like this list lacks Limbus Company.

>GFL
>"my 40K power team went from the top dogs to mediocre at best."
>Night mission
>One of each type of doll except for shotgun
>Placebo fairy
>probably no night equipment
You went in with the worst team composition for that mission, of course a slapped together team won't cut it.
Could have been solved by a good ARHGSMG Team with 1* Night Equipment
Oh no, I just tossed my squad in a random map. Frankly, I don't know if they've added QoL changes for equipment loadouts, but I just didn't bother switching out the equipment.
@@remyskosm Lately, they have. You have flares for the HG/SMG ammo slot, red dot sights for MG/HG, SLAP ammo for MGs, flash rounds for shotguns, team field composition pre-sets.
Let alone the fact you have to prepare teams for each mission(simpler than it sounds).
AR/SMG teams won't do a thing to armored enemies, MG/SG teams won't hit evasive enemies(much less at night) and RF/HG teams will be overwhelmed by swarms(unless you have a good set-up with KSVK MOD3).
Your Path to Nowhere rating is just abysmal imo it deserves way better
Two games I would like to mention: Dragalia Lost and Cookie Run Kingdom.
Dragalia Lost ended service more than a year ago, but I still remember it as one of, if not the best gacha game I've ever played. Great gameplay, variety, events, many characters and dragons each with an small story that contextualizes their presence and/or gives them character development and lots of quick and easy daily quest that could help you upgrade almost any character to make them viable. Not to mention it was super generous and had a bunch of collabs (I think the last one was Persona 5), I never needed to pull out my wallet to get many cool adventures and dragons I wanted. It had so many things that I can't actually say it all here. There are videos that explain it better.
Meanwhile, Cookie Run Kingdom is still going to this day. Despite becoming more pushy towards paying, the game is still really F2P friendly, giving you more gems the better you get in modes like arena or guild battles. You also get gems at a steady pace by playing story mode and events. The characters, despite not sounding interesting because they're gingerbread cookies, are actually pretty cool (in most cases). If I had to point out some issues, it would be that grinding gets pretty slow on higher level characters, the gameplay being pretty generic and powercreep being a real problem, to the point of some bosses being basically unbeatable without the proper line up (it's not actually hard to unlock characters, but leveling them up can be quite tedious).
Try guardian tales out also limbus company, both have really good story imo and gameplay is interesting
17:54 2 star clear, those damn drones love to ruin your day (Deploy Kroos next time)
Shame that Opera Omnia didn't make it to the list thou, haven't heard an opinion of it on a while, and another Wrath enjoyer? Welcome to the club
And hey, gotta say. neat anime list (P.E.K.K.A is an Shoujo protagonist, fight me); just want to share a few more:
- Snowbreak Containment zone: Starts slow, and their atmosphere feels simple, but is a Pve shooter if you're curious (Marian best girl)
- Transformers Erath wars: Anime girls? How about a raging spider for a change... May have the best/worst gatcha system in where your gatcha currency is virtually useless by how awful rates are, yet you will get 3/4 star (5 stars are on a league on their own) bots, all by just playing regularly; gameplay is Backyard monsters (Father of Clash of clans)
- Limbus Company: Haven't felt such a "visceral" gatcha game like that, is like a indie game on steam... Wait
- Blue Archive: I mean, you have Aru's unofficial theme on the intro, so you know the deal: Awful gatcha but generous rewards, and overflowing charisma amongst story, characters and even enemies like Perorozila
- Since Honkai Impact 3rd was mentioned already, then try Aether Gazer... less taxing device wise, no orb shenanigans like PGR if you're not fan of it, and character design is exquisite
Have fun
Man I remember illusion connect. I was a f2p player for 2 years before stopping because of its lack of new content. Good game overall and it was the only game I was able to take the top 1 PVP as a f2p battling against opponents who had tens of thousands more power points than me.

Nice tier list the only gacha game I put an ur is nikke goddess of victory due to super biased for shift up and basically to me it has great story,amazing designs,very unique and fun gameplay that you actively need to put skill in so that's why put ur tier.
Thanks. I can certainly see where you're coming from, and it is definitely the gacha game that has the highest mechanical skill ceiling. I'm simply more biased towards strategy games, which is reflected in my picks.
@remyskosm It's cool. I love me some strategy based games
Agreed. As someone who breaks the 160 wall and reached enlightenment, this game is actually a gem. It's seriously fun to play on pc compared to mobile and they had been cooking quality events for these past 6 months. In addition They literally have one of the best summer events. It's just a shame that people started playing during Collab cuz collab event in this game is one of the worst and boring event that the game has to offer leaving newbies with bad impression
Gacha games can have fun writing. I find another eden and Octopath Champions of the Continent pretty great because they actually feel like full fledge adventures rather than just one giant battle gauntlet.
Sounds like you're not big on gachas with stories but I would reccomend giving them a shot. Really high quality games and F2P friendly.
Two more additions to the list.
the only grap i have with Octopath is that SE actively makes th game unplayble on emulators and i refuse to play it on my samsung S23 cuz i get eye seizures reading microscopic text boxes
Idk if you ever heard of it but i think you should try Reverse 1999. Its my favorite gacha rn, the story on chapter one is kinda eh but in the end of 2 it gets really good, IMO the one with most potential. The gacha is ok-good, so far i got all characters i wanted. The combat is turn based, and is actually pretty fun. The mechanics are simple, but still fun and the game requires you to use them against the harder content. Designs on this game are crazy good, and actually diverse. I've never really cared much about diversity until i played this game. Overall a 9/10, but rn i think FGO> because Reverse doesnt have a lot of replayability and the story is not even 3% as progressed as FGO.
Shoutout to bluestone and food fantasy, both dead af but they’re what got me really into gacha games
not a bad video, but damn Arknights being reproached for stat check is kinda insane ngl
The game is very very hard but it has nothing to do with stats, in fact most guides use very weak units not even E2. this is very common in the community for players to think a stage is impossible with all the most meta units in the game and then act surprised when a very good niche player clear it with units that aren't even promoted or leveled up.
It's more about understanding the enemies and reacting with the right characters for any given sitation than any kind of stat check. Tbh lvl aren't even that important, usually it's almost considered a waste of ressources to bring your units to lvl max
Im playing PGR on my Nubia Red magic 8pro with its shoulder triggers, and so playing PGR on it feels as easy as playing on xbox controller that was used for at least 3 years. So maybe if a person wants to play PGR mobile, then he needs the right tools for that? BTW soundtrack is GODLY indeed.
PGR honestly would be good on any device that doesn't have you exclusively using your thumbs. I don't know why gacha game devs hire Hans Zimmer's protégés for their osts, but I'm all for it.
Getting stuck on first skullshaterer fight and giving it lower score than powercreep emblem, wowie
Powercreep is only a huge detriment to PvP-centered games, and FEH takes some measures to bridge the power disparity anyway. 100% got dogstuck in Arknights though.
😂😂
@@remyskosm at least you can admit it, i struggled for like 3 days on a stage once (albiet it was a very high end one)
H10-3 if anyone is wondering
long ago when i first playing Granblue Fantasy i wonder if the game will have any anime in the future, but now somehow i found a video who took FGO into the list but not GBF despite FGO are the one that are Anime-inspired gacha game lol
R.I.P Illusion connect, you were great.
I wonder if you're gonna make another list considering you're missing a handful of gachas that are pretty well established like Aether Gazer, Honkai Impact 3rd, Honkai Star Rail, Blue Archive, etc.
But you might also wanna wait while you're probably gonna play through the new gacha games released like Reverse 1999 and new ones coming like Zenless Zone Zero and Arknights Endfield
My current plan is to play every gacha that has been recommended in the comments, which I think is ~20-25 so far. The ones you listed have been recommended, but I hadn't heard of Endfield or Z3.
@@remyskosm Z3 is still in beta, which already seems like they killed half of the playerbase anticipating the game with CBT2 cuz of several issues with a character and some glaring graphical downgrades
Endfield was only mentioned after Arknights' 3rd or 4th anniversary with some new videos on the Endfield channel, but no CBT that I'm aware of yet
@@VlazeSkylaxtheres a cbt for Enfield actually i recall lord kyo playing it or my memory hazy
man i cant believe this guy played and still remembers devil maker tokyo. it was my first gacha and i miss it 🥲
The main menu theme lives rent-free in my head, and I'm not evicting it any time soon.
I'm a little sad about how Lord of Heroes got treated because it is currently an obsession of mine. I love the story and how every single mechanic has an actual in-universe reason to exist. For pity, you get the banner char on your 90th summon, though I never needed that much to get what I want yet. That said, linkstones are p scarce, but they give you 10 free 5s (over time, they are cummulative login rewards) along with several starter chars and I don't think you actually *need* the new releases to do the stories (I'm still using the starter chars on Extreme).
The game, however, is incredibly grindy. It takes a lot of exp to level up, plus ascension mats, plus promotion that resets the level to 0, so you always need energy. The energy isn't really a problem; they give a lot of free energy via dailies or weekly rewards. The main issue is the time. Skip tickets are paid, so if you're f2p, sometimes it takes hours to use all your energy, which I'm sure some people will dislike.
I'm not delusional enough to think LoH is UR or even SSR worthy really, but I think it deserves more than a C at least.
If I gave LoH and PtN rigorous evaluations, they'd probably fall somewhere in R-SR. At the end of the day, they're fairly unique with at least some things going for them. The C rank was more or less to designate them as unmemorable, but now I have to rereview PtN anyway so I guess I should've replayed them in the first place.
21:22 since Noone is talking about illusion Connect, ill share my experience in Illusion Connect since from release of the game
Gameplay wise: It's like a game of chess. Where you can do different strategies on with different characters you have. Fast game, playing the long game till the timer goes off or balanced.
As you start the match you have to quickly placed down your char to do their Special skill
Let's say I placed down my single target assassin but my enemy placed down a shielder to tanked that dmg and I countered with this character to that character then he countered with his character to that character so on and forth
But you need a lot of characters and equipment inorder to do that
Longevity: I thought this game will go longer since they giving away a bunch of stuff like UR Equipment and ingame currency in their events but nonetheless the game is shut down, reason? I forgot what's true reason I'll edit this when I rmb or research
No paypigging: oh boy, so as much the game gives you generously amount of freebies but midgame grind is sucks a F2p. Even you have perfect characters to counter that but boss will quickly kill your character even you did everything to survive or trying to killing the boss with your remaining units but no avail bc there's a time limit so you pretty much grind their mats and exp for around month or 2 just to get past that level and oh it get worse so most F2p only have got 3 stars characters completed deck while Whales got fullly 6 star characters with that same F2p completed deck so even you have a characters to counter those but you didn't enough dmg or sustain against those whales in 1v1, 3v3 and guild war so you need a wallet just keep drawing the same characters just been in top of the leaderboard
If I were to score this then I'll say
Core gameplay:9, it's something new to the gacha genre and it's fun in early game
Longevity: I would say 6 or 7 as much they did 2 anime collabs but the mid game grind is too much for F2p players
No paypigging:5 pvp, pve you need your characters to be 6 stars inorder to be effective
Very nice analysis.
Capturing SF Ringleaders in Girls Frontline isn't that bad if you're consistently logging in each day, doing the dailies, and not spending your capture resources foolishly. Since you weren't even aware Kar98 got a mod, then yea, you'll have a hard time. Fortunately, Scarecrow is the best ringleader overall and she's given to you for FREE upon beating the tutorial.
The story events are still great and the next client update will introduce tanks, mechs, and other vehicles for your dolls, HOCs, and Ringleaders to ride in.
The music is also the best of the mobile games I've tried.
Hold on it will introduce WHAT?! Damn I got lucky to come back to the game after a year+ of not playing
This new update will change the things in GFL. I hope there will be no EOS for GFL due to GFL2's upcoming global release. GFL is the only game I can bear to play on mobile atm.
I only play two Gacha Games frequently as of now, which is FGO and Arknights. It’s not like I hate the others, I just have less time since I also play other games and well, working adult life lmao
Personally though my main gripe with Arknights is not actually the difficulty, I like using my brain. But its the story… kinda. So this is an unpopular opinion, but like, yeah the story’s nice and the lore is interesting. But its so hard to actually read through it when it feels too long and isn’t as engaging, which I find very weird because I read visual novels and books! I guess its also because the units I like barely have anything to do with the story. That’s also why I unironically prefer the IS2 and IS3 stories- I love Mizuki and Phantom. Yet in the main story, not much of my favorite units are even relevant. It’s always the girlbosses. FGO has this same problem but at least I’m more attached to the franchise.
Still, I love Arknights, and while I’m sad you didn’t put it at UR, I understand your points.
i couldn't stop laughing when fgo was mentioned to have one of the best gameplay lmao, gameplay and grinding is so painful that a whole auto farming app was made for it
PGR legit feels like the Alpha version of a top tier game, I'm glad they're taking their time with Wuthering Waves because that game has massive potential.
I'd recommend trying snowbreak containment zone, it's fairly new gacha game that plays like a third person shooter. It can be played on phone, but pc is the best way
what do you thinkl about Reverse 1999?
oh no 28:41 i saw your team with no shielder and i understand why you struggled lmao
31:51 hold on did you only read the pity system in the standard banner????
Arknights my favorite by far. Characters, art, and gameplay top tier.
Arknights has unique tower defense gameplay, so I'd imagine it's the favorite of a lot of people. The character art I feel is a mix of standard anime style and a bit of the more gritty, realistic style.
Dont't forget the amazing sound track
Honestly, I've found that most gacha games have great osts for whatever reason.
@@remyskosm AK has like actual award-winning soundtracks
Pity that you got blocked 3/10 of the way through the story.
While it's true that veterans can get far with low rarity characters, in reality high rarity characters make the game significantly easier.
Great list! While I haven't played all of the games I agree with most placements of the ones I have.
Only one gripe: For a video that starts with Unwelcome School this list has a severe lack of Blue Archive. I can only recommend giving it a try!^^
I will, don't worry.
You know what I mostly like gfl and FGO so this list is a absolute win I also play the other games and feel they correctly belong on their spots , it’s just the story for some and gameplay for others
32:10 that animation was back way before inazuma exsisted. I should know i havent played since kokomine was released. XD but ya im pretty sure its a day 1 thing.
Don't know how I've never seen it, because if I knew it existed then I would definitely have done it at every opportunity.
@@remyskosm well its very specific
Devil Maker Tokyo was so good :c , since the first game...kinda miss them...
if this game came out like 4 years ago King's Raid would most definately be here...i shed a tear for what could've been actually a pretty popular gacha if the sequel came out due to how f2p friendly and customizable it was
it does not include honkai star rail, which will be the mobile game of the year probably
I mean, I don't think it has much competition, plus MiHoYo's been in the public eye following Genshin's success.
man it's so weird to see kancolle in a 2023 video where genshin impact is also mentioned
The great tragedy of Kancolle being memory-holed overseas due to its developers warring with DDoS. At least, that was the last explanation I remember from however many years ago.

Really liked Nikke. Started playing it day 1, spent a bit of money on it, got all the girls, but BOOM, account ban. 30 tickets later, I didn't even find out for what exactly I was banned for. The official message I got after trying to log into the account was "use of prohibited programs" or some other nonsense like that. They didn't confirm a single time that this was the actual reason, neither did they explain what they even detected. Actually, I am kind of doubtful I was even communicating with a real person through the whole thing. Anyways, if you are looking for a game, in which you will dedicate a lot of time and money, but get banned for no reason, Nikke Goddess of Victory is for you.
i sure do miss brave frontier it was one of my favorite gotcha games to bad they shut it down a long time ago
I respect your thoughts and all but... man, seeing FEH as the literal top tier hurts my soul. And I say that as someone who used to be *really* into feh back when book 2 was new.
in fgo i once used 360 quartz on morgan and got enkidu. then oberon came out. had 200. got nothing. and when castoria was there. i wasted another 100 and got arjuna
I'm surprised Grand Summoners is not on the list. it must not be as popular as i thought it was
It seems to be running respectable numbers. Mostly it just comes down to me being fairly picky on top of not being able to play every major gacha.
Personally, I don't consider Clash Royale as a gach game, as I feel like the "gacha" loop isn't as big as the "waifu gacha" games.
Just curious, what is your opinion on Reverse:1999, controversial take, but I've been really burnt out from trying to enjoy the game, although it's the new hit of the gacha games, I just don't find myself enjoying it, especially when compared to games like Arknights or KanColle.
Illusion Connect is just goated taste, I remember getting Miyuki before it shut down, I missed that game, I still couldn't find a gacha game like it.
Great list with detailed explanation of each game, looking forward to more videos like this.
Calling Clash Royale a gacha was a little tongue-in-cheek, where I wouldn't normally, but I saw it on a different tier list, so why not.
I haven't played Reverse:1999, though it does look like a game I wouldn't mind picking up. That said, it's probably a common experience among gacha players: picking something up for a quick fix--often with launch or beginner rewards and incentives--and then dropping it after burning out from the core gameplay. I figure that most people will get 3 or 4 gacha games they love and come back to, whereas the rest either get put on the backburner or get uninstalled.
The current video being cooked up is a video essay on Smash, and I'm probably going to move the small commentary videos to a separate channel for consistency.
Slap Ayakashi Ghost Guild into UR for it's main theme please. 🙏
Well that's a pretty good sell.
trust me if you played pgr on the pc client that shit would bump up to UR with the current updates it received recently
I'm curious as to what content was added that could cause such a meteoric rise in rating, but I'll check it out if time permits.
