Description
Been playing TokyoCatch for a couple months now. It’s basically an app that lets you play real Japanese claw machine games, like UFO catchers, right from your phone. Pretty solid if you’re into that kind of thing.
Here’s what you do – there’s a bunch of different crane games you can play live. You use tickets to try and grab the prizes, which are actual Japanese figures and plushies. You can earn free tickets just by logging in daily, and you get 3 free plays when you connect your Facebook or Google account.
Look, if you’re into those claw machine games, you’ll probably like this. It’s not perfect – the upgrades take forever and the ads can get annoying – but overall it does the job. Worth checking out if you want to win some cool Japanese collectibles.
Editor Opinion
So here's my take on TokyoCatch. I've tested a bunch of these claw machine game apps and this one's pretty solid. The selection of games is great and they feel just like the real UFO catchers you'd find in Japan. The prizes are legit too, not just cheap stuff. I will say the progression can get grindy at higher levels, and the ads get old after a while, but you can avoid that by spending a few bucks. Overall though, I'd recommend TokyoCatch if you're a fan of those crane games.
