How different is this game from Genshin? Is it worth a shot?

How different is this game from Genshin? Is it worth a shot?

the biggest difference is just how the combat works. it's turn-based, similar to like, persona 5... or maybe an older final fantasy game. or pokemon, if you haven't played either of those. because of this, i actually feel that honkai star rail is more fun than genshin impact right now because of how much rewarding content there is you can do with your team just from different types of battling and such. you build your characters pretty much the same way as genshin though (artifacts, skill leveling, weapon—they just get called different things in hsr).

the main story itself is usually pretty good and straight-forward (i feel that it goes less in circles because they don't stretch out dialogue as much e.g. paimon's narration), but some of the more specific references to characters and aeons (or basically anything that goes deeper into the game's lore) can be confusing at times because of just how much of it there is and there's a lot of names flying around lol.

the quality-of-life features are also better than genshin's right now. i often feel like the game is being more generous to me lol. so, i definitely think it's worth a shot! i mean, i like genshin impact, but right now? definitely enjoying honkai star rail more.

Thank you for your detailed explanation! Turn based is easier for me to take breaks and kind of take my time. I didn’t play Genshin for too long so I was wondering about this game. I might dive into just to see what it’s like for now!

Also apart from it being turn-based, you can also do auto battle

This will definitely help me then.

It does remind me a lot of Persona 3 Reload, the battle style. I like it so far.

 

[roseychu]

I played this game all day but it’s been hard to follow to story as expected for me. It’s interesting so far though

Is this guy any good? I got him today

 

[Vampire]

Is this guy any good? I got him today

yes, he's very good! he's a "preservation" character, so think of like, a shielder/tank kind of battle style

if you need advice on how to build him, i'd recommend reading this (it's quick bites of info so don't be intimidated!) or if you like watching things, then this video!

i can also answer any questions as best as i can to help

Oooh thank you so much for the links and for your offer. The game has so many layers to it, it's hard to keep up. I will let you know!!

 

[roseychu]

Can y'all explain the banner system for old events? Like, is it still possible for me to get older characters?

 

[Vampire]

Can y'all explain the banner system for old events? Like, is it still possible for me to get older characters?

yes! in fact, Aventurine (the guy who you pulled) is a new character and the other character Jingliu (the blue female) is a character that already ran last year. so there is always a chance to get older characters, you might just have to wait a few months before they rerun, though.

in fact, right now, there is always 1 new character + 1 old character running together. the game is about to launch update 2.2, and Robin will be the new character and the other character, Topaz, is a rerun.

 

[roseychu]

Thanks! I haven't managed to get Jingliu yet and time is almost over...I hope she comes along again at some point
