Honkai Star Rail is the new Hoyoverse gacha game in which a Trailblazer sets off in an epic sci-fi quest. Is this journey worth taking?
An interesting chart reveals the May revenue numbers for HoYoverse's two most popular titles, Honkai: Star Rail and Genshin Impact.
Exciting information about the Honkai Star Rail World Tour 2024 discussing the location, tickets, events, and more.
A chart from Honkai: Star Rail is detailing the ownership rates for the sci-fi RPG's five-star characters during the Version 2.2 update.
I mean when you compare it with the best RPG series currently in development and likely one of the best that ever existed aka The Legend of Heroes. Yeah, I can see Honkai Star Rail not being that impressive.
But the thing people have to keep in mind is that this is a mobile game first and when we consider that. All the issues start to make sense, they are all part of the mobile culture game and while I'm with the author that they can be infuriating at worst and boring at best. That is because we are seeing it from the lens of traditional gaming.
For those that are into mobile gaming. What Honkai Star Rail is offering is actually a more streamlined version of systems that are familiar. All while also offering an actual story, gameplay and visuals that very few other titles can even hope to achieve.
That being said. What I am a bit concerned with this game is the turn-based nature of it. Because while Genshin Gacha system for characters didn't really play a role in making the game pay to win, with a turn-based system like this one the chances of that happening are exponentially higher.
I have little no interest in free to play games.
I don’t like games with loot boxes , cosmetics etc and things like that.
I’d rather pay a monthly fee.
I want the ability to earn everything in the game not by $$.
God I wish Mihoyo would finally just make a non gacha offline singleplayer game for once. Because of their name and the money they bring in, it unfortunately always has to be a mobile gacha game...
I'm imagining how great Star Rail and Genshin would be if they were. They're mainly popular just because of the crazy high quality gacha.
Trails is so unknown because they aren't these things and unfortunately that doesn't sell. But these are far better games in my eyes. It's a sad reality...
Surprisingly, I am loving the game. It has such an emphasis on story and world that it feels like a true jrpg through and through!
Well, the game is basically Trails but it's kinda hilarious that has a worse combat and customize mechanics than trails in the sky that came out roughly 20 years ago.
