Gacha Life is a simulation and "animation studios" created by Lunime. It is notoriously known for having some controversial stuff, especially in the fandom.
Why It Sucks
Even though the game has an E rating on the Play Store and 9+ on the App Store (note that mobile stores have their uploaders assign ratings), it contains some references to things that are either inappropriate for the target audience (such as a reference to Boku no Pico) or even downright offensive, namely a joke related to the 9/11 attacks that was eventually removed in an update.
Even worse is that Luni hasn't removed most of those in updates.
You can also dress up characters in lingerie, which is also not exactly E-rated content.
The premade character designs are really generic and are mostly made for fanservice.
Very limited movement. You point on where your character wants to go, and they just instantly teleport there.
Despite looking like a simple 2D game, the game has horrendous optimization. Speaking of this, even the game's store page admits this! But for some reason, the developers have no intention to fix it.
It isn't formatted well for 4:3 tablets like most of the iPad series, leaving letterboxing on the screen.
Low-resolution backgrounds.
The PC version (which can be found here) is only a demo for some reason. This shows that the developers might be lazy.
Repetitive leveling system, since the characters you talk to say the same things over and over again. They also have quizzes you can easily ace since it's just related to what they say.
The gameplay itself is just really boring and simplistic. In fact, more people use the game to create OCs rather than play the game itself.
Stamina does not regenerate while the game is switched off, meaning that you have to have it open for it to regenerate.
Various props (which can use as gifts for the character in Life Mode) are locked behind the titular Gacha system, forcing the player to repeatedly use their Gems just to get a good prop for their story or a gift for one of said characters.
Magical Luni, one of the few hidden characters, has an extremely unfair quiz, where most of the info given to you when you ask him is thrown out the window in favor of one of the many, MANY, "Duck" answers.
The filtering system is much worse as it also censors good words, for example, typing in "grass" changes it to "gr***".
Redeeming Qualities
Although generic, the character designs are really cute.
A little variety when it comes to customization.
Luni listened to the criticism of the 9/11 joke mentioned by 1chi and removed it in an update.
Sadly, this update wasn't available in the IOS version of the game.
It lack certain aspects from previous Lunime games, such as the pole dance pose from Gacha Studio.
Luni also removed skin colours and sexual poses in new update after the controversy.
This game might be good for those who want to create their ocs for concept and are learning to animate.
It even has allowed most YouTubers to use their imagination to create creative content.
Well, you know what is actually worse than the game? The fanbase.
The community is actually really really bad. It is in my opinion on par with the Roblox fanbase, because both of them seem to be attracted to some fictional characters in an unhealthy way, both contain many immature children, both overreact and both cause drama.
I hate this game because of the stories being in YouTube, and for those music videos having stolen music and/or CRINGEY VOICE ACTING ON THOSE VIDEOS. (also the game has a toxic fanbase like Chernobyl)
Also, the preset cat-looking girl in game is called Lado which can be misread as Lada, which is a Russian car manufacturer or the car itself. So it can be a copyright infringer.
Game itself is okay except for that controversial references which later have been removed in Android update, It is just that its fandom is extremely toxic.
I like this game and I also think that the minigames are enjoyable and a good way to distract yourself. I didn't see the Boku no Pico and 9/11 jokes tho.
However, yes, there's some stuff like the optimization and the suggestive clothes thing that needs some improvement (I think Lunime improved the suggetsive clothes thing tho). The animated poses are also very laggable.
Don't also forget about the fanbase which makes generic stories, hentai and cyber-rape.
1chi made these references in the Life mode, but they were removed in an Android update. Did you ignore the Life mode/1chi or are you playing the latest Android version?
In my opinion, this game is great for those who want to create their ocs;but , like most of fans of this page, I actually like this game and I only hate its fandom which is very toxic. It even has a sequel called Gacha Club.
Also, I respect those who dislike this game and I know it has flaws but thankfully the inappropriate references had been removed and I'm glad that Luni is taking the action against the sexual, offensive and inappropriate content as well.
The game itself isn't all bad, it just tends to attract weirdos. I hate all the fujoshis who fetishise LGBT+ people and make weird yaoi videos using this game.
Greetings! After checking out the articles on this wiki, I couldn't resist creating an account here so I can talk about this game here.
If Lunime intended the game to be for kids, then why were panty-like bottoms in pants 45 and 51 a thing? Also, how often does one stumble upon women wearing garter belts? People can see that as sexy clothing as well. There was also that one pose that resembled a pelvic thrust that was replaced in the censorship update.
But to this day, the iOS version still doesn't have said update, and so the Boku no Pico reference, 9/11 joke, and old clothing and poses are still there on iOS. I think this is evidenced by the development being focused on the sequel, Gacha Club, which had an issue with saving the data in its first iOS build. Lunime subsequently tweeted that they were fixing GC's saving issue on iOS.
The concept of customizing anime-style characters became such a phenomenon, and I applaud Luni for that. However, people can easily edit the characters to wear lingerie or be naked. If playing on an Android emulator such as Nox Player, the characters can be perfectly pixelated since the game is created in Flash, making them even easier to edit.
the only thing i hate is the fanbase full of 2 to 10 years olds trying to a furry or sexualize their characters infront of everyone, it disgusts, the only good thing is Luni release Gacha Club and remove any inappopriate stuff so that makes me fell a bit better
gacha community be like "cutting is fun and quirky uwuwuwuwu only feminine gay men are real gay men uwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu gay people only exist for me to masturbate to uwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu rape and sexual harassment is hot and cute uwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu"
as a survivor of sexual harassment it really bugs me with how they romanticize it
@Nesh1rtXD, I'm sorry for you, I understand how it feels and I hope you are okay now. This is why I don't use social media in general except for this website.
@Skyisgreyish I hate the term "gAcHaT*Rd" because it is offensive to people who have autism, and is annoying to me, but it isn't like calling them those more annoying terms "gAcHaF*Gs".
you're right, they are full of immature babies with no amount of brain cells left to figure out what multiplication is or questions that is self-explanatory
Lily said that she wished she could "summon a gersona". According to the Gacha Life wiki, "Gersona" represents the word "Persona" and to "summon a persona" means to commit suicide by shooting your head with a gun. Note that this is a childrens' app.
This game is okay IMO, but the community is something else. Their stories on YouTube are inappropriate (Some are), others could be cringe. That's why there's a term called GachaTubers though.
Gacha Club is a BIG improvement over its predecessor. It has a lot more features for the characters, however, you can only use one of each prop for the scenes.
