Like Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail is a gacha game, which means players can pull from special character banners.

The game is a turn-based strategy RPG, and players must navigate interstellar journeys in space. The game’s launch trailer, which has just been released, gives a glimpse into the game’s storyline and gameplay (Gematsu). And for players who are struggling to get the hang of the game, ONE Esports has put together an ultimate guide specifically for Genshin Impact players who are new to Honkai: Star Rail (ONE Esports).
While Genshin Impact has been a massive success for HoYoverse, Honkai: Star Rail is already being touted as even better than its predecessor.
