Lost in Play, Lies of P and Honkai Star Rail are the only non-subscription apps, and the last one has IAPs up to $100. The best apps and games on the shittiest app store.
They are, but they’re completely optional and you don’t need to make any purchases to progress through the entirety of the game content. Plenty of people are pure F2P players.
Star Rail and Genshin are both gacha games that are completely enjoyable as a pure F2P player. The main cast of characters plus a few of the easily obtainable F2P characters are more than enough to get you through all of the story and event content, and they even give you enough of a trickle of jades/primogems through free story and event quest rewards that you can pull a few 5* characters (though you obviously have to be a lot more selective on who you want to pull for than a paid player would have to be).

I am not the dev, but I wish people supported smaller studios who actually put out quality apps on mobile without riddling them with ads or subscription mechanics.
I recommend Automatoys. Download full game and unlock entire thing with 1 iap. Its really sad seeing all the reviews dogging on it for “scamming them”… because it wasnt entirely free.
People just expect free games now. Even if it means its grindy as fuck, with tons of ads and IAP. People just want free.

Star rail is actually a quite polished game I wasn’t surprised it hit #1
I don’t play it because I mostly quit gacha a few years ago, but Mihoyo really are the best at making really nice looking mobile games.
Those IAPs look gacha as fuck.
