Yet another gacha game enters the mobile game scene, and it is from a familiar company, Just with a different name.
HoYoverse, earned their renown with their massive success title, Genshin Impact, is looking to expand the business still with their next game. As their new title suggests, this game is aiming to start a genuine universe of their own.
It is true that Honkai: Star Rail hands us the same poison all the other mobile games nowadays do.
Pulling a character is their major content, and there is no such thing as "full game." It is definitely not complete on release, and it'll go on and on, as long as it can reach your wallet. The game is only about a month old, and yet the content will dry out quick if you really go at it.
But there is also a good news. Coming from a major company with quite a few successes under their belt, the game offers a delightful presentation. The visuals are pretty enough to let you get attatched to the character without much reason, and the sounds have weight to appreciate.
Story itself is more or less redundant. It won't leave any impression on you, and it being added with a time gap doesn't help either.
Interesting things about this title is that they don't really urge you to spend money on it, which is rather refreshing, coming from a big name like HoYoverse. There are lots of decent characters within reach, and there is virtually no content that makes you wrestle with the others. No ranking system, no guild stuff, nothing. If that is your thing, this game will be very blend.
Gameplay is standard business. You go through story stuff, along with the side quests, and you farm everyday for 10 minutes and try to find anything to keep yourself entertaining until the next update comes through.
It runs pretty well on my 2-year-old iphone 12 pro max, but I won't recommend playing it for a long time, let alone while charging. I can definitely feel the heat.
Just like any other gacha game, you won't miss out anything if you look past this one. But if you had to choose your poison, this game could be up there on my recommendation list.
