The variety of colorful characters has long been one of the key reasons for the popularity of games with gacha mechanics. However, what especially stands out against the general background is Brown Dust 2 from the NEOWIZ studio, which gave us the long-suffering MMORPG Bless Online.
As a recent survey among Brown Dust 2 players showed, more than 70% of fans continue to play because they like the illustrations from the game. In second place by a large margin was the voice acting, followed by the musical accompaniment. The combat system was of interest to only a little over 6% of survey participants, and the story attracted only 1.76% of respondents. Closing the list of factors is retro style, which was noted by the least number of players.
