Gacha Life

Life simulators are an extremely popular genre, and Gacha Life is no different. The cute little game allows you to create your own cartoon character, drawn in an anime style, and dress it up in different costumes and accessories. The app is designed to allow free form RPG. Players can make microtransactions for more characters and items in the game shop, and act out their dreams with this fun and colorful app

Dozens of options for characters

Styling your characters is an important part of Gacha Life, and there is a wide variety of options to choose from. Hair, eye color, skin color, accessories, and clothing items are all available and can be mixed and matched to create a unique character.

Studio Mode

The biggest feature of Gacha Life is studio mode. This mode allows you to create your own skits using the characters you create. The skits are as unlimited as your imagination, with talk bubbles for dialogue and the ability to move your characters in a wide variety of different poses. There also hundreds of different backgrounds, which can help you tell your story as close to how you visualize it as possible.

Mini Games

The mini games in Gacha Life are cute and match the game well. In one game you have to answer quiz questions quickly and accurately. In another you have to catch chicken nuggets before they fall and hit the ground. These games allow you to earn gems, which you can use to gain back stamina. Gems can also be purchased through watching ads or through a microtransaction, but if you want to keep playing and are out of stamina it can be a fun way to pass the time.

Supervision recommended for minors

While the app is recommended for kids 9+, the community can sometimes take their skits in an inappropriate direction. The game also features a chat which can sometimes become inappropriate. The game itself is clean, but if your child decides to try looking up Gacha Life skits on Youtube for example, might not be.

The Gacha Life community trends toward less child friendly, so it’s better to approach Gacha Life with caution for minors. If your kids still want to create their own characters but you prefer them not to use Gacha Life, Chibi Studio will also let you create a cute, cartoon like character, although it has fewer options to choose from for appearance.

Pros:

• Versatile sandbox style life sim
• Lots of creative options
• Studio lets you act out your own skits

Cons:

• Community can be less child friendly
