For those unfamiliar with the term, “gacha” refers to a type of game where players can use in-game currency to obtain random virtual items. These items can be anything from characters to weapons to accessories and usually come as collectible cards. Gacha games are immensely popular in Japan and have been for many years. In fact, some Gacha games have been running for over a decade! Here are five of the longest-running Gacha games of all time.

1. Final Fantasy Brave Exvius

This game is part of the Final Fantasy franchise. Do not confuse it with its spin-off War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius. Brave Exvius has been running since 2016 and is still going strong today.

The game is set in the world of Lapis and follows the adventures of protagonists Rain and Lasswell as they battle against evil forces that seek to destabilize the world. With hundreds of collectible characters, beautiful graphics, and an immersive storyline, it’s no wonder Brave Exvius is one of the longest-running gacha games around!

Even after all these years, Final Fantasy Brave Exvius still interests people because it is a well-made game with a rich story and beautiful graphics. Additionally, the game offers plenty of opportunities for player growth and customization, keeping players engaged for hours.

2. Dragon Collection

Dragon Collection was the first Gacha game that was released on GREE (social networking service) in 2012 as the most popular Japanese game.

What’s so great about this game? You might ask.

Well, for starters, there are over 500 different types of dragons to collect! Not only that, but they come in all colors and sizes; you’ll be able to find the perfect match with ease if your preferences run towards something small like gold or large such as fire breath–literally everything is at hand here (dragon collector). Additionally, each species has unique abilities, making breeding even more interesting than usual.

The game is popular among all age groups but especially among teenagers and young adults.

3. Monster Strike

Monster Strike is a bit different from your typical Gacha genre, as it is primarily an action game rather than a turn-based RPG. In the game, players control a team of monsters as they battle their way through hordes of enemies.

With simple but addictive gameplay and cute monsters that are sure to please any fan of Japanese pop culture, it’s no wonder Monster Strike has been running since 2014.

4. Schoolgirl Strikers 2/Twinkle Melodies

Schoolgirl Strikers 2 (also known as Twinkle Melodies outside of Japan) is a rhythm-action game featuring an all-female cast of characters. This game is part of the Schoolgirl Strikers media franchise.

Players must time their button presses to the beat to defeat their opponents and progress through the game’s story mode. With catchy tunes and an adorable art style, Schoolgirl Strikers 2 is perfect for any fan of rhythm games!

5. White Cat Project

This game was released internationally under the name Colopl Rune Story. The White Cat Project is yet another rhythm action game, this time with a fantasy setting. Players take control of a hero character as they travel through dungeons, defeating enemies by pressing buttons in time with the music. With over 100 stages to play through, White Cat Project will keep you entertained for hours!

How to pay for Gacha games

Most of these games are free to play, but some offer premium content that can be purchased with real-world money. If you want to get the most out of these games, invest in some premium currency!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the oldest Gacha game?

The concept of “gacha” originates from Japan. While many games have used a similar mechanic over the years, one of the first mobile games to popularize the gacha system was “Puzzle & Dragons” by GungHo Online Entertainment, released in 2012. It’s essential to note that while “Puzzle & Dragons” is one of the earliest and most successful mobile gacha games, gacha mechanics were also present in earlier games.

Which Gacha games have the biggest player base?

The player base of gacha games can fluctuate over time based on updates, events, and changes in player interest. However, as of my last update in 2021, some of the gacha games with the most substantial player bases include “Puzzle & Dragons,” “Fate/Grand Order,” “Fire Emblem Heroes,” “Genshin Impact,” and “Dragon Ball Z: Dokkan Battle.” It’s essential to check up-to-date metrics and sources for the most current information, as the mobile gaming landscape can change rapidly.

What is the most spent gacha?

This question likely refers to which gacha game players have spent the most money on. This, too, can vary based on time, region, and player trends. “Fate/Grand Order” has consistently been among the top-grossing mobile games worldwide, with players spending billions since its launch. “Genshin Impact” also had a strong start, generating over a billion dollars within the first six months of its release. Other games like “Puzzle & Dragons” and “Dragon Ball Z: Dokkan Battle” have also seen significant player spending over their lifetimes. Exact figures can vary, so it’s always a good idea to consult recent financial reports or market analyses for the most up-to-date data.
