Gacha games like Genshin Impact and Infinity Nikki make up some of the most played and profitable experiences. They’ve become so prevalent over the past few years and integrated themselves so well into the AAA space, that games populated by anime girls and middling JRPG combat are no longer a niche occurrence, but something actively sought after by Western gaming communities. Had you told my younger self that not only would these types of character designs be normalized, but that millions of players would be sinking time and money into a game like Infinity Nikki, I’d never have believed you.
