Gacha games have gotten a bad reputation, as they’re always making fans spend money for random chances to get their waifus. Many have accepted this as a necessary evil, since these are technically “free” games, so this is how they make money. Duet Night Abyss might change things up, as the free-to-play title is going the way of Warframe, promising no gacha or in-game stamina meters.
Similar to Genshin Impact and Wuthering Waves, Duet Night Abyss was originally going to be another open-world RPG with gacha elements. Does that one busty anime woman appeal to you? Cough up cash or participate in this timed event, you worm. That has clearly changed with the announcement of no gacha systems, and it could revolutionize free-to-play games if it gets supported well.
No More Gacha
The game’s official X account has confirmed that DNA will make all characters unlockable through simply playing. While various cosmetics will still be paid for, everything relating to gameplay will be free. It’s a great gesture from this game, especially since there’s also no stamina bar that can be refilled with money or time.
It will be interesting to see if this makes Duet Night Abyss the next big free game, but fans are already reacting to it with praise. Expect this game to make a huge impact when it comes to PC, iOS, and Android on October 28. PAN STUDIO could have a huge hit on their hands, and we’re curious to see if other gacha games will respond.
The Good Method
Seeing a major action RPG like DNA do this is pretty surprising, as it’s only been done a few times. Most fans will point to Warframe as the premier free-to-play action RPG, as it offers plenty of fun thrills that require no payments outside of cosmetics. Hero shooters like Marvel Rivals also do this, but those are technically simpler, multiplayer-themed games, so an action RPG doing this is still surprising.
We’re not sure why PAN STUDIO decided to go this route, though the company did say it was due to fan reaction. Regardless, this is a very good move, and fans who want more free games to respect their money should consider supporting this game. Granted, not everyone is a fan of anime booby girls killing monsters, but free is free, so how can we complain about this?
Only time will tell if Duet Night Abyss will actually pull this off and become a huge game in the free-to-play market. Based on all of the positive buzz, this is the first step many have been asking for, and one that will hopefully cause a revolution.
