tl;dr: it’s a gacha game, but supposedly an interesting one. But still gacha, so better to watch a YouTube video of the story than play it yourself.
I still do not know what gacha means, but I’m guessing it’s a synonym for “Skinner box”
Gacha comes from the Japanese capsule toy vending machines that give out a random prize for money, very popular with children.
A Gacha game lets you buy loot boxes which provide playable characters and gear randomly, and tend to feature a gameplay loop designed to tempt you into paying real money for those boxes.
Fkn knew it
Basically it means the majority of the game relies on drawing from a pool of rewards that allows duplicate draws and has high rarity entries. It’s gambling, put simply. And in almost all cases gacha games push you to spend real money for more chances at the good stuff.
