As the spiritual successor to Houkai Gakuen 2, it follows the story of an elite group of young Valkyrie warriors who fight against the deadly Honkai beasts in their alternate version of Earth. The Honkai series’ popularity spawned numerous other media like anime series and other connected games.Honkai Impact 3rdhack-n-slash combat Houkai Gakuen 2One of these is Honkai: Star Rail, which uses some of its beloved characters but places them in an alternate universe. Thus, the characters you meet here ultimately have different lives, beliefs, and even personalities. Some aspects of them still remain the same, however—like their preferred fighting style and acquired power. In this game, though, the combat system uses a four-unit party for turn-based battles.alternate universefour-unit partyturn-basedAside from the combat, there are also elements of open-world and dungeon exploration present in the gameplay. Plus, the game’s story is rich and narrative-driven here. However, it can feel like it has lazily reused some assets from both Honkai Impact 3rd and Genshin Impact, due to its spin-off nature. For one, the character roster screen looks far too similar to Genshin Impact’s and has even confused some players.open-world and dungeon explorationreused some assetsHunt down enemiesWith a handy enemy-tracking tool, players can easily keep an eye on opponents anywhere on the map. This will allow you to either avoid any sudden battles or look for specific enemies in order to collect materials that will help you level up your characters and their Light Cones.
