Why do all objects fall with the same acceleration regardless of mass?

I am well aware that objects of varying masses, shapes, and surface areas will fall at different speeds and accelerations in an environment with a gas in the way such as air due to air resistance. Why is it though, that gravity causes all objects to fall with the same acceleration in a vacuum? Objects that fall further and have more energy and less time to decelerate have much more impact force, so why is it that this happens?
