Gacha Studio (Anime Dress Up)

Gacha Studio is the gamified app where you can create your own anime-styled characters and scenes with them, static and animated. It offers a rich selection of backgrounds, scenes and poses, gestures and emotions. Download Gacha Studio (Anime Dress Up) if you want to express your creativity in anime style!

Graphics 5/5

There is a titanic work behind Gacha Studio. Its “studio” part is a great tool for creating characters and playing with them like the director makes actors play. Various faces and skin colors, eyebrows, noses and mouth lines, statures and gestures, and, of course, outfits and accessories. All of them are drawn just greatly, and it’s the most attractive thing about the game.

Gameplay 5/5

The app seems to be divided into two unequal parts: the game and the studio. As for the studio, it lets you create characters, looking like typical anime heroes and heroines. You can select their appearance and outfits, as described above. It’s even more important that there is a scene editor. With it you can make your characters play roles, say words (with bubbles), interact, and even move if you make your scenes animated.

The game itself is a pure gachaing: you hunt for bonus boxes, never knowing what’s inside. These gachas can be bought for coins you get as a reward in simple (even primitive) battles on Arena with your pets. The game itself is of little interest next to the studio, which makes for the real power of Gacha apps. It’s simple online combat that still brings you coins, and coins can be used to gacha.

Of course, you can just buy coins as well. If you use this studio for any professional needs, it may be easier than spending your time playing. But then we would have to sort it as an app, and formally it’s a game.

Controls 5/5

It’s all very simple. When creating a character, just tap on the element or the pose you’d like them to try. If it fits your idea, proceed to the next section; if not, choose a better one, as there are dozens of options for faces, traces, laces, and menaces. Everything is done simply with taps. Even when it comes to combat, it doesn’t go much further.

Replay Value 5/5

If you use Gacha Studio to unleash your creativity and play with the characters you unlock, create scenes and scenarios, make memes or stories with them, or tell your own long narrative, then its replay value is infinite.

The Bottom Line

Gacha Studio (Anime Dress Up) is something between a game, a toy, and a design tool. It simplifies making scenes with recurring characters if you find anime style suitable for it. There is a series of Gacha apps by Lunime, and this is only one of them. But, in fact, it is enough to have one of this app, as they mostly use the same studio elements, and in all of them the gameplay is secondary.
