Head to head

Reliability & Bugs edge: BleachR6R9R18R31

Monetization & Value edge: BleachR7R8R12R16
Bleach Bleach is criticized for its high in-app purchase prices, with 518 Spirit Orbs costing $69.99, which users find to be a ripoff and not worth the value R21R33. Summoning rates are frequently described as trash, with fillers having higher pull rates than featured characters, making it hard to get desired 5-star characters R7R16. While initially free-to-play friendly, veteran players feel resources and farms have been nerfed, leading to a struggle for orbs R8R12R48.
Gacha Club Gacha Club is free-to-play, but recent updates have introduced advertisements, which some users find annoying . There are no specific complaints about in-app purchase pricing, but the core issue of data loss overshadows any value proposition.

Gacha Club Gacha Club users are highly critical of the developer, Luni, for not fixing the persistent data-saving bug for almost two years, despite releasing new games . Users feel ignored and disappointed by the lack of updates to address this critical issue .
Pick Bleach if

you are a Bleach fan looking for a gacha RPG with a deep character roster and story, and are willing to tolerate high IAP prices and occasional bugs R2R5.

Pick Gacha Club if

  1. [R2] Bleach 5/5 · US Best bleach game IMO: Summoning is addicting-also easy to obtain characters even when f2p with no need for endless grinding. Although, I want true bankai ichigo back in summon banners.
  2. [R5] Bleach 4/5 · US STORY MODE AND SUB QUESTS: I wish there was a more optimized way to do story mode and subquests as there is so much of both. Maybe having an auto mode where it goes to the next one by itself and it takes twice the amount of tickets or something. Love the game but it gets tedious.
  3. [R6] Bleach 3/5 · US .: It loads endlessly, making it impossible to play. You can skip new games, but here the endless loading is also tedious gameplay, the style is also very primitive, the design would be 2d, it would be better than this cheap 3d incomprehensible, sorry, but this is my opinion, you lose to other games in these areas, but! The character cards are awesome, and all the characters can be easily and quic
  4. [R11] Bleach 4/5 · US It’s Good: Pretty Solid Game Fun but gets boring after awhile because it’s too easy
  5. [R9] Bleach 3/5 · US Feeling robbed: Been playing for a few years and every once in while I notice a character that I know I pulled (has a badge) seemingly disappears from my inventory. Now I know I’m not crazy, and for what ever reason you keep removing characters I’ve spent time and resources on. Every 5*+ character I pull gets locked and I don’t get rid of them unless it’s a dupe. You are quite literally stealing f
  6. [R18] Bleach 3/5 · US Game’s bugging out: Game’s wigging out on an update & keeps bouncing me back to the title screen w/o installing the update. Would like to play considering Cour 4 is coming up.
  7. [R31] Bleach 1/5 · US Post all my progress because of an update: All of my progress was deleted because of an update. I probably had +2,000$ and 4-5 years of progress deleted because of an update. I don’t know why. Don’t play this game and if you do don’t spend a single penny on this game. They can just remove all of your progress/money at any time. ( I never cheated or did anything that would have gotten me banned and
  8. [R7] Bleach 1/5 · US Terrible game with skimmed rates: The fillers have higher pull rates than the featured and you get screwed over everytime you summon. Not worth your time and you’re better off playing anything else.
  9. [R8] Bleach 4/5 · US great game: overall i would say the game is great even for free to play. the only things i don’t like are the assists in bosses and the amount of exp things i can get in the soul tree bonanza
  10. [R12] Bleach 3/5 · US Please: Kay lab it used to be so easy to get great characters and now it seems like a very hard uphill struggle
  11. [R16] Bleach 1/5 · US Boring: The summon rate is trash you don’t get the feature character, you have to spend a lot of orbs just to get a duplicate character you already have such a disappointment.
  12. [R13] Bleach 1/5 · US Why?: Why do you developers want people’s personal information? Why can’t we just play a game without? Being spying on.
  13. [R14] Bleach 4/5 · US NEEDS CONTROLLER SUPPORT: This game is dope and I play it on my ps5 as well but i wanna play my mobile account otg and controller support would make this game alot better for mobile players
  14. [R15] Bleach 3/5 · US Stay awya from PvP: I finally ranked up enough in PvP to get actually other players teams and now my team is doing 0 damage and dying almost instantly. There is definitely something going on. I even faced a team that has 17K power and my power was 30K, same thing. I had it in epic raids where some how the team i was on was able to insta kill the raid boss. Looks like whatever hackery there is
  15. [R10] Bleach 1/5 · US The developers are lazy and the game is no fun anymore.: I have played the game since launch, and it was once the best mobile game I’ve ever played. But sadly I think the game is no fun anymore. The game use to be fun but the developers have become extremely lazy, and have not done anything to make better changes to the game for a long time. And they have become extremely lazy with new characters.
  16. [R49] Bleach 2/5 · US After 8 years, worse than ever: I started 8 years ago and they really started to milk the players. Massive power creep makes most of the older characters useless and it’s hard and and harder to get the same guild quest rewards. Good power creep involves new content better fitting new characters, rather than making the same game worse.
  17. [R55] Bleach 2/5 · US Great At first: After 7 years of playing this game since the 3rd anniversary I’m here to say the game was great to play for beginners and terrible for any long time players. So enjoy for a bit and spend little money.
  18. [R61] Gacha Club 1/5 · US Fix your bug nowwww: Bro, fix the bug I tried to play, but when I make my character, it disappears to the normal character so fix the bug please :(
  19. [R63] Gacha Club 3/5 · US Fix the damn game🫩💔: Bro every time I close out of the game it never saves my new characters I make which pisses me off some much. Lumi fix your gameee😭
  20. [R64] Gacha Club 2/5 · US Bug: I love this game I use it to make content but it keeps deleting my characters making it hard to create content on YouTube.
  21. [R65] Gacha Club 4/5 · US Fix bugs please: It’s a great game and helps me make my characters but When I finish designing a character and exit the app it doesn’t save and i have to start over multiple times
  22. [R48] Bleach 3/5 · GB Honest Veteran Player: I've been playing this game since the very beginning of BBS. Klab nowadays is struggling to provide the balance for f2p playerbase, we lost so many way to obtain orbs after playing this game for few years and there's only little new orbs for veteran players like me. The focus of developing this game seems to shifted by klab to mainly only focusing on contributing to the guil
  23. [R21] Bleach 3/5 · US Absolutely love this game: But my only issue is the pricing on the in-app purchases its absolutely insane $69,99 for only 518 Spirit Orbs?!? I can get that in a day theres absolutely no reason it should be that much if I’m paying that much i deserve bare minimum 7000 cause it’s genuinely not even useful nobody’s gonna pay that much for what you provide, you might as well not even have in-app purch
  24. [R33] Bleach 3/5 · US Great game, HOWEVER: This is a great game, but there are two BIG problems with it. Spirit orbs and the 5 star chances. Spirit orbs are very difficult and frustrating to get once you’ve completed the stories and side stories. And frankly, it’s practically impossible. And from what you do get, it’s so little. They obviously want you to purchase spirit orbs, but it’s so expensive. 60 or 70 bucks for
