Genshin Impact on mobile platforms originated in 2020 and immediately won the hearts of a great army of fans. It’s no joke, a colorful adventure game in the world of operations with a bunch of events, events, events and updates, and even for free! Until now, in Moscow, fans of this game gather in the Aviapark shopping center in cosplay costumes, I myself have seen it many times.

mihoyo studio (and now) has another franchise in its portfolio called Honkai. It was from Honkai Impact 3rd, which was released on iOS and Android back in 2016, that the game mechanics, animations, and much more that were popular in Genshin Impact migrated.

To the point: Overview of Genshin Impact. The only free mobile game worth playing

And just yesterday, a new series of Honkai games called Honkai: Star Rail became available in the App Store. “killer Genshin Impact”, because it draws in Star Rail no worse than Genshin.

True, there are still differences.

Space Genshin Impact, RPG only

The first thing to note is that Honkai: Star Rail has been translated into Russian. Yes, the characters speak English, but all text dialogues, hints and announcements are displayed in our native language.

The game weighs 3.3 GB, but after downloading from the App Store, I want to download another 5 GB of additional materials. Everything is like in Genshin, there is nothing to say.

Then registration, server selection, prologue screensaver, to the player, who throw a little history and get acquainted with the first game characters. It seems that the Hoyoverse studio simply decided to make an analogue of Genshin, only in a space environment for those who didn’t enter fantasy world of Teyvat.

However, as soon as you reach the first enemies, the most important difference becomes obvious. All fights are normal in turn-based mode, just like classic jRPG games. There is no need to do any feverish taps on the smartphone screen, each character quietly waits for his turn to attack the enemy or use a super-powerful skill.

In short – all fights consist of two or three taps: select an enemy, tap to deal damage once. Or choose to use an enemy, select a character skill, tap an enemy to apply and deal damage.

It seems that everything is too simple, but there are nuances. So, each character has his own “path” (read, role in the game), as well as various types of damage, which are analogous to elemental interconnections in Genshin Impact.

Enemies, in turn, also have a higher level of protection against single manifestations and weaker from others. It is necessary to carefully collect your “pack” of 4 people in order to take into account the maximum damage depending on the types of enemies.

After some time, you begin to notice that there is some kind of deception with the World Peace. It, by and large, simply does not exist, and the characters move between certain locations. But this is by no means a minus of the game, because the locations are beautiful, with interactive experiences (like supply chests and subsequent barrels) and are quite large.

Also, you can’t jump in the game. If you decide to switch from Genshin to Honkai: Star Rail, it will take some getting used to.

You can find the “Jumping” option in the menu, but this is just a way to quickly move between locations and planets. We are in a space setting, mission.

Brief history and plot

The crew of the Astral Express is carrying rare relics to the space station. Suddenly, fighters from the Legion of Antimatter appear on the ship and begin to kill everyone in their path.

At the same time, rarity hunters are discovered using virus detection, penetration into space and the search for a certain Stellaron artifact. They came out with artificial human technology (this will be the player) and hide Stellarron in his body. Well, then the player meets the surviving ordinary crew of the Astral Express, participates in an epic battle with the Doomsday Beast, and in the transition to the Express trip on a journey between the stars.

That is the way.

Otherwise, the game has everything the same as in Genshin: the discovery of new and necessary opportunities, the crafting and upgrading of weapons, talents, the ignition of constellations, and so on and so forth.

But the main thing is that in Honkai: Star Rail you can play, pump and go through the story without impressing a penny of money at all. Yes, you can buy perfection and cards to open new heroes and equipment, you can knock it all out quite calmly, spending a little more time in the game.

Thus, Honkai: Star Rail is the second worthy game for mobile platforms with excellent graphics, a developed well-developed world, an interesting storyline and optional microtransactions. I am sure that she has no less fans than Genshin.

And of course, updates, new events, all sorts of dungeons, heroes and enemies will await us. The game has just appeared in the App Store and Google Play, so if you are no longer interested in Genshin Impact, or there is no desire to go through and delve into this incredibly overgrown fantasy world – try Honkai: Star Rail.

A brand new adventure among the stars on a space train.
