I’m on the hunt for anime-themed mobile games on the Play Store that don’t rely on gacha mechanics at all. I really dislike the whole gambling aspect, so no games with any kind of gacha or energy systems, even if they’re free-to-play or pay-to-win. Paid games or Japanese-only titles are totally fine since I have a JP account and can handle the language. I’m after something visually anime, similar to games like Dungeon Slasher or ExAstris, but not pixel art or retro styles like classic Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest ports. Also, no low-quality titles like NosTale, please. If you’ve got suggestions that fit this niche, I’d love to hear them!

Have you tried Monster Hunter Stories? It’s got that anime vibe and doesn’t have gacha, so it could be a good fit.
Danganronpa and Ace Attorney both come to mind. They’re story-driven, anime-style games without any gacha systems, so they might be right up your alley.
Nice choices, thanks for the recommendations!
You might want to check out Miracle Fly. It’s anime-styled and doesn’t use gacha mechanics, but keep in mind it can be pretty demanding on your phone. Though it does have a PC port if mobile struggles.
That’s a solid suggestion! I’ll definitely consider it, thanks.
