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.

    Take a shot everytime he pronounces "Hilichurls" wrong and you might be dead

    As someone who's played both games, seeing Arknights below FEH hurts my soul.
  • @sb18wlc
    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.

    "The game is fun until you're burnt out, then it's hard to get back in." Relatable honestly.

    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.

    A gacha tier list without Honkai impact but have Genshin, unbelievable
  • @cirnobyl9158
    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.
  • @kenshi3942
    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
  • @k1rzen
    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.
  • 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

    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.

    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...
  • Played a couple of these. Based on my overall experience, Punishing Graven Raven is definitely my personal SSR.
  • @nevolence
    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.

    "im telling you this right now kids if your not selling your souls to 2D girls something is wrong"
  • @thememepage
    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).
  • @burnedham0
    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.
