Our take on Waifu Simulator
The focus on gem puzzles and collectible artwork leaves little room for broader gameplay systems. Its appeal depends on whether gallery completion and character unlocking provide enough variation beyond the central matching loop.
What is Waifu Simulator?
Waifu Simulator is a casual puzzle game built around matching gems.
Players choose from 12 anime characters, each with a different difficulty level, then complete stages to unlock high-resolution artwork. Finishing a level also opens access to another character. Unlocked characters and artwork can be viewed in an in-game gallery. The core loop centers on completing gem-matching puzzles and gradually filling the gallery with the available characters.
How Waifu Simulator plays
- 01Character progression
- Completing stages grants access to additional characters and their artwork.
- 02Variable difficulty
- The 12 selectable characters have individual difficulty settings.
- 03Artwork gallery
- Previously unlocked character images remain available for viewing in one place.
Waifu Simulator compared to similar games
Fantasy Girl also uses puzzles to unlock artwork featuring multiple female characters, but it is structured as a jigsaw puzzle and includes 12 illustrated character images, with 5 featuring Live2D. Waifu Simulator instead uses gem matching, assigns different difficulty levels to its 12 characters, and places unlocked images in a gallery.
