Gacha game

Gacha games are video games that adapt and virtualize the gacha (capsule-toy vending machine) mechanic. In the monetization of video games it is similar to loot box, in inducing players to spend money. Most of these games are free-to-play mobile games. In gacha games, players spend virtual currency, which can be from a machine; however real money is usually eventually spent to obtain the virtual currency and opportunities to use it. The gacha game model began to be widely used in the early 2010s, faring particularly well in Japan. Almost all of the highest-grossing mobile games in Japan use it, and it has become an integral part of Japanese mobile game culture. Outside Japan, the game type is also gaining popularity. Examples of gacha games are Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, Final Fantasy: Brave Exvius, Fire Emblem Heroes, Puzzle & Dragons, Dragon Collection, Granblue Fantasy, Kantai Collection, Girls' Frontline, Monster Strike, Fate/Grand Order, and Kingdom Hearts Union X. This type of game is increasingly being developed by Chinese and Korean companies too; notable examples include Azur Lane (Chinese), MonsterCry Eternal (Korean), Cookie Run (Korean), and League of Angels (Chinese).
