Gacha games have become increasingly common and popular in recent years. Much like the vending machines that give the genre its name, Gacha games focus on pulling random virtual items through a system similar to loot boxes. You collect everything you can to earn rare items and powerful characters. You can make your friends jealous as you assemble a great team to advance a campaign or climb the ranks in multiplayer. Here is our list of the best Gacha games currently available on mobile devices. Some of these games may also be available on other consoles. Each entry is continually updated with more features and stories to play with.
Top 10 gacha games
Genshin impact
The latest miHoYo game has already gained incredible popularity. The fantasy RPG setting and beautifully rendered world appealed to players of all genres and platforms. The game is a hero collector with many unique combat mechanics to keep anyone busy. It has an interesting story in a large immersive world that rewards exploration. Best of all, you don't have to spend your salary to get ahead. While in-game spending might help you a little, everyone needs to work a little to get ahead. Fortunately, the game rewards you pretty well for grinding and has a fun co-op feature so you can explore with your friends.
Azure Lane
Azure Lane is one of the oldest and most popular mobile Gacha games currently available. This is a naval warfare JRPG and a combination of an RPG, a shooter and a tactical game. One thing we love about this game is that it is not pay to win. While there are microtransactions in the game, you can be a competitive player without having to empty your bank account. This is a very user-friendly game that anyone can play, regardless of experience. This is the perfect title for people new to Gacha games.
Dragon Ball Legends
The Gacha genre is closely linked to JRPG and Anime games. It's not surprising that a Dragon Ball game made it onto this list. The Dragon Ball franchise has a game for all of the most popular genres, and Gacha is no exception. Dragon Ball Legends is one of the most popular action and anime RPGs ever made. There are tons of popular characters for you to collect and play. The game features the PvP and co-op multiplayer action that the franchise is well known and loved for.
Fate/Grand Order
Fate/Grand Order is a mobile entry to the hugely popular Fate franchise. If you love the anime series, you will definitely love this game. The game has a fun and engaging story with turn-based combat. The Gacha mechanic offers tons of characters to play with. It features the excellent anime art style expected from a modern JRPG and has plenty of events to attend.
The Alchemist Code
Alchemist Code has a little bit of everything, a JRPG with an anime art style, an excellent soundtrack, tactical gameplay, lots of action and a good story. The game uses more traditional strategy game mechanics than those more commonly found in JRPGs. It has a lot of characters to collect and play and an excellent multiplayer mode. Players must harness the power of Alchemy to save the world in competitive PvP and co-op. There are also a lot of events happening all the time to keep the game interesting.
Arknight's
Arknights is a good combination of a strategy RPG and a Gacha game. It's an excellent hybrid of strategy and JRPG mechanics, and there are hundreds of characters to unlock and play. The only really bad part of this game is that it has a slower pace than the other games on this list. This is a better game for people who just want something casual and relaxing with good strategy elements. The game also has automated features that allow you to keep playing while you are busy with Netflix. The game also has a much greater focus on collecting characters than other games on this list.
Fire Emblem Heroes
The Fire Emblem franchise is no stranger to mobile gaming. It is one of Nintendo's most popular handheld game series since it was published in GameBoy Advance in 2003. This entry in the series brings many of the mechanics of handheld games to your smartphone. Players can enjoy the strategy RPG gameplay that made the series popular, while collecting tons of characters, new and old.
Shin Megami Tensei: Liberation Dx2
This is a great game for fans of the Shin Megami Tensei or Persona series. The game brings the SMT universe to your smartphone with a beautiful mix of 3D graphics and anime and has a fun campaign and lots of special events and side quests to get into.
The best part of Shin Megami Tensei: Liberation Dx2 is that many demons from the series are available to collect and more are added all the time. You can collect, fuse and upgrade your favorite demons to form any team you like. The game uses turn-based combat found in other entries in the series.
Final Fantasy: Brave Exvius
Final Fantasy slowly but steadily entered the mobile market a few years ago. Previous mobile games were fun, but Brave Exvius is the best so far. The game has a long immersive story, lots of special events and lots of characters to collect. It uses the standard turn-based JRPG combat style so veteran players have no problem getting into the familiar gameplay. For fans of Square Enix games in general, there are also plenty of cross-over events to look forward to.
Honkai Impact 3rd
A previous hit from the Genshin Impact developers, Honkai Impact 3rd, has many of the same features we love. This is a fun futuristic RPG where you can get weapons, clothing, and character items from the Gacha system. There's also a character collection mechanic where you can easily switch between characters to fill any role you need. The game comes with a fun campaign and multiplayer modes with lots of action. This game is very addictive for anyone who likes action RPGs or JRPGs.
