Why Are Gacha Games So Popular?

Posted on July 20, 2021July 20, 2021 By GeekySweetie

Gacha Games are often free to play mobile games with various time-limited collectible items which can be obtained with in-game, or real-world currency. The items usually range in rarity from common to super or even ultra-rare.

The word Gacha actually is slang for Gachapon, which is a sound made by toy capsule machines in Japan. Unlike the toy capsule machines in the USA, the ones in Japan are full of actually really nice items. Many of the items have tie-ins to famous anime or video games and are much higher quality in terms of material and construction when compared to capsule toys in the United States. Also, like the mobile games, the contents in Gacha Machines are rotated frequently to feature seasonal items or special collaborations, making the race to collect your favorites even more exhilarating.

Some examples of Gacha Games include:

  • Love Live
  • Idol M@ster
  • Shining Nikki / Love Nikki
  • Genshin Impact
  • Alice Closet
  • Line Play
  • Dream Girlfriend
  • Hello Kitty World
  • Pokecolo
  • And many other examples

It is a game mechanic loved by companies because it draws a lot of players to spend real-life money to collect the items before time runs out.

But why do so many people love playing Gacha Games? In some ways, Gacha Games can get really expensive and addictive, just like online gambling – after all, many people are spending real-world money on these mobile game Gacha Machines, for just pictures of items in a digital game. All too often, these digital games meet demise and leave the users empty-handed. But just like gambling, whether win or lose, players have fun testing their luck.

To answer why people enjoy online gambling or Gacha style video games, you don’t need to think very hard. Gambling in all forms can be very addictive… and even more so when you win big. There’s nothing more satisfying than getting that rare 5 star item in your game… well except for maybe getting lucky and winning a real cash jackpot. Afterall, you could then use some of that money to spend back in your mobile Gacha Game, or wherever else you’d like to use it.

The bottom line is, people enjoy the excitement and anticipation of Gacha Games. Scoring that rare premium item, especially if it’s time limited, gives you major bragging rights in the game.

Many Gacha related items are used as a form of self expression and dressup. This makes it even easier to show off your rare items. Other Gacha items such as mounts or equipment may give you an edge in PVP or PVE combat. Yet others might give you exclusive characters to add to your party.

There are many ways in which games are exploring implenting Gacha like mechanics into both free to play and pay to play games.

What are some of your favorite Gacha Games? Or what are some of the most exciting Gacha Items you’ve received?
