Until they add a dialogue skip button, this game should never be rated above 3 stars. I've fallen asleep multiple times during the dozens of hours of unskippable, boring, unnecessary, overly drawn out, never-ending dialogue. They really should have just made it a visual novel with how much they won't stop yapping.

Lots of fun, would recommend. I personally find the turn based combat a lot of fun. I love the unique characters and their abilities. The puzzle mechanisms are fun and not overly challenging. My only downside to the game is that the grinding to upgrade characters can become repetitive and tiresome.

This game is still just as satisfying as it was at the start! Great music w/ interesting story and lore. Easy to farm items needed to upgrade characters AFK with the help of auto-battle. Still great F2P. Generous with in-game gacha currency as long as you do your dailies, weeklies, and events, but they also give free 10 pulls every first half of a version update. Downside: the Xianzhou chapter was kind of a mess; gets better in Penacony, but if you don't like reading, you're cooked.

This game is amazing, full of animation, adventure, monsters and lots of battles and is makes genshion impact look like trash because it is, this game is one of the better games made by the same people who made Genshion, although the battles are hard sometimes but you just need the right team but my only complaints are grinding takes way to long and the battles are way to hard, but that's all

As a turn based RPG, I find that this game needs more planet exploration. Gacha wise rates are around 0.6% for a 5 star character and hard pulls/ guaranteed drops are 180 pulls. Time wise quests take a long time because you cannot skip dialogue which is a major drag in terms of time. Leveling is self explanatory and is meant to be over time. Immerse yourself in a build style that you look. RELICS are the key to strength, follow the recommendations until you figure out your characters.

Excellent game! It's a little different by the fact that the experience you get is not just by fighting enemies. You get items from fighting certain enemies in certain areas and with these items you build up your characters. As your levels go up the items become more rare. So that is a little different, for me anyway Everything is very creative and not cookie cutter! Very contemporary in its words and actions. If your not used to turn based fighting, you will have to practice! 5⭐ So far anyway..

Super friendly towards you, amazing cut scenes and graphics. The story is simple, your character has lost their memory and you must trace back the memories of your character, trace back his steps. Harvesting materials is the easiest thing about Honkai star rail, tey even give you free pulls when log in for a couple of days, so just play honkai star rail you're going to love it.

Im not sure why there are low scores because it's turn based... It's like complaining about Madden because it's a football game. Excellent graphics, love the characters, and attacks are mind-blowing. Why I'm not giving it a 5 is because once the main game is beaten it's hard to stay into it, and late game if you don't have powerful well rounded characters, you can get destroyed by the events and you have to grind to keep up

I have been playing since day one and have been enjoying the game. I really love the characters, story, art, and lore. My only issue is that the power creep in the game is getting pretty bad and it's only been a year For end game content (MoC, PF, AS) a lot of older units are either becoming or are already unviable (ex: Blade, Seele, Jingliu, Argenti etc.) I hope Hoyo can come up with more creative ways for end game content instead of just increasing difficulty by inflating enemies HP.

Very interesting game. Was having a bit of troubles with the touchscreen movement for a bit, got a bit frustrated til I fully grasped how to work it lol 😂 Very neat game and graphing with great voice acting that improves the fun, as I don't have to do as much reading as most games lol. Can't believe such graphics can come with a free game!
