I’ve been playing this game for more than a year bow and I can actually say this game makes me want to spend money on the game without needing to. The main thing I have to say is that the graphics are great and the gameplay is really fun. There are a few issues I have with the game, such as the game crashing on specific story stages and unbalanced matchmaking, but those are issues I feel can be fixed or at least balanced in the future. The way some of the valkyries’ fragments are time-gated feels really slow, but it’s not that bad. I highly recommend this game for those who are just looking for a game to enjoy for a long time. I’d also recommend that the developers make a way for you to choose a focused supply list, because if you don’t get the list you want, you have to wait a week or two for it to reset and the process can repeat. It’s not that bad if you take constant breaks from the game, but it’s something I wanted to point out. I’d also reduce the cost of supply crates because the actual rate that you earn crystals is pretty slow. The energy system is pretty inefficient for starting players that barely have a stamina pool to begin with, as the rate at which you gain stamina is way too slow, so I would increase the rate at which you earn stamina or just remove the stamina system all together. Theses issues don’t necessarily ruin the game in any way, they’re just minor inconveniences that I’ve noticed at I played the game.

Now, unlike star rail and genshin, this game is completely different. It isn't as open as Genshin, so you wont get overwhelmed, and it's not a turn based fight game, it's a game you can actually select characters based on who YOU like and still win. You can make better weapons, a beautifully made story mode with cut scenes, and plenty of hard work to get far. It's definitely downgraded a bit since new players get an S ranked hero I have been grinding to get for years, but I ain't bitter. Just shows I got her with hard work. There's characters as they grow older, cute characters, hot, smexy, kawaii, plain, theres everything you'd ever want. This game has been one of my top games for a while. And if you get bored, you can delete it and come back when your ready, and the game will give you a welcome back if you've been gone a long time. It's very engaging and never boring, plus you get to get sensai's and teachers, you can chat with friends, pair up in missions, it's not just a solo game. It's fun and free for anyone, and NO NEED to pay to win, the diamonds come easy enough, yet still challenging, and it truely screams you don't need to pay to win. And no it doesn't even take years of grinding, just play a bit longer then 10 minutes daily, and you'll be set. Great game! Hope it doesn't change, also pray it doesn't begin handing out giant freebies to the newbies... This ones enough. 💀

First review...

I’ve never felt the urge to review a game before, but this one has frankly AMAZED me. I didn’t know that these kinds of things were possible in a mobile game, but... yeah. The graphics are awesome, the voice acting (although it is often in a language other than English, it is excellently subtitled) performances are great, there’s so much to do here. An excellent single-player story. Co-op play. Open-world exploration. Anime-style FMV cutscenes. Engaging story with episodes still coming out and many more on the horizon. I can understand why some might spend a lot of money on this game to get things, but I don’t think it’s necessary to do so in order to enjoy it. I’m going to spend money on this game, although I haven’t yet and I’ve been playing for over two months. I’m not going to spend that money because I need to buy something to “win” or have fun, but because I just got an “achievement” that told me I’d spent over 500 hours “in adventures” - and I know I’ve been doing stuff in the game that didn’t contribute to that counter. Anything that can give me over 500 hours of enjoyment is well worth my money. It’s well worth a LOT of my money, and I’m really just amazed that they’ve been able to set it up so that I could reach this conclusion on my own, and I want to reward them for that. This is a really good game. I think you’ll enjoy it - but you don’t have to take my word for it, it’s free! Give it a try and see for yourself.

Game of the year award!

Wow, at first this didnt look that amazing. But when i started playing it it really was amazing! The graphics are great, its not a mainly pvp based game (which i love!), and the gameplay is awesome! What i dont like is co-op. I like team games, and this one is awesome, but i would like if you could play with people closer to your level. I don’t appreciate playing with a level 50 while im a level 18, because then they do way more damage and work while im doing nothing and still getting good rewards. I would just like it if there was a setting where when you make a match you can set the max level as well (so i could set it where i play with level 17-23 players. But still, this game is the game of the year🙂🙃🙂🙃. Edit: now, after playing for some time, I noticed that you have to be a certain level to do the main story. I know that its just so your a good level but im really good at the game. In fact, im not sure if this is normal for people to do, but i never bring a friend with me because it brings more of a challenge. I just beat poem of wind and i REALLY want to do the next part. But since i have to be level 33 (yep, im only level 31, and i have never lost a level), i cant. The energy is totally fine, in fact, maybe more then fine. I understand i can do hard mode to get xp, but i really want to keep going through the story because in my opinion, it’s amazing. But this doesn’t make it not the “game of the year.” 🙂

Powerful Character Development and Outstanding Gameplay Mechanics and Playability

Honkai Impact 3rd is a masterpiece that has already set the bar for so many other games emerging in the genre. The characters of this game are interesting, compelling, relatable, and powerful. With a huge variety when it comes to aesthetics and play style, the available valkyries (playable characters) can appeal to a lot of players. The story of this game is phenomenal. Whether you want to read it or not, miHoYo publishes manga about the world of Honkai 3rd, mainly about the story that occurs outside of gameplay. The lore within this story cannot be summarized briefly but I enjoy every piece of it. I highly recommend this game to anyone who enjoys fast-paced, flashy combat with deep customization mechanics. There is “Scoring” content, meaning that your score is placed up against the scores of other players, but there is no direct player-versus-player content so Pay-To-Win only really applies to the one doing the spending. The prices for currency are regular for a gacha game (i think) but I also think that there are plenty of ways to save up premium currency to pull for characters and their weapons without spending anything. The gameplay can struggle on a weak internet connection and the size of the game files is a sort of drawback, but all of this is dwarfed in the face of the experience that this game provides.

Super fun but some problems

This game is super fun, like I love the characters or Valkyries is what their called in the game, I also enjoy how the game works and all the events. Theirs one problem though, I think their still isn’t enough ways to get crystals, I have so many problems with getting weapons and characters because I don’t have crystals, this game can be a ftp game and a ptp, you can be a free to play but it’s kind of hard because you can’t get high scores just by being a free to play player, and some valkyries need certain stigmas and weapons to be good. Also the gacha crates is another thing I don’t like because they have weapons and stigmas in the same crate, they have this thing where if you open 10 crates and you don’t get a 4 star weapon or stigma, you are guaranteed a stigma or weapons, yea this might sound good but the stigma drop rate is higher then the weapon so you’re probably going to get a stigma, and this is why I think we need more crystals, I can’t even count the times I gotten a stigma instead of the weapon I really want. Theirs also a event called time swirl which you can’t get a ok four star weapon or stigma and the way you get that is by buying a certain stigma then playing the event missions to get fragments and stuff, and the drop rate isn’t that good, and theirs a lot of thing you need to get the ok four star weapon or stigma. But most of the time I play this game have a lot of fun so yea

Just an idea

Alright just gonna say, hi3 is an old game now with an outdated style, even though that is the case, this game has captured my heart in so many ways no other hoyoverse game did. During the pandemic playing this game seeing Everlasting Flames and Because of you really made me awestruck that this was an old game and when it finally ended with Da Capo I felt like the story has finally closed(excluding part 2). Now here is the thing, after hi3 part 1 ended, a lot of people lost interest in the game and even then not many people play Hi3, so I was thinking what if we just make another game about it? It would capture the attention of the entire playerbase. I know that we already have Hsr, but I was thinking a true Hi3 game with components from the three main games of hoyoverse, Hi3 combat, story, cg animations, and endgame content; Genshin exploration and its amazing meta design; hsr quality gameplay animations and cutscene animations. Of course, this is just an idea but it would fix the issues of some of the three main games, Hi3 has constant powercreep, Genshin’s lack of endgame, and the people’s issue with the hsr combat system. Overall it could even make part 2 more enjoyable. Just an idea though, I don’t expect this to actually happen just thought that it would be a nice treat to all hoyoverse players to experience the hi3 storyline with amazing exploration and animation.

Highly Recommended

the only reason i don’t give this game 5 stars is how much space it takes up on your phone, when the game was still in its initial stages around loke chapter 10-15 i think, the game storage was manageable, even with all the downloadable content it was around 7+ gigs, now it’s around 18+ gigs which is too much for a video game, and my next complaint would be the gacha aspect, first off the drop rates are very bad and the way you earn crystals is very taxing and annoying, need to drop the gacha costs or up crystal drops, or not make it like $30 for one 10 pull gacha, besides that this game is amazing gameplay wise, it has a great immersive campaign that can get you very emotional, the sound design is amazing along with top tier soundtracks, the VA clearly care about this project and you can feel it in their acting, the animation when animated is done very well, the controls are easy to learn but challenging to master and very rewarding when you start getting good at combos, the only big complaints i see about the game are about how the game doesn’t run smoothly or the game has bad graphics etc etc, which is actually ridiculous that people have the audacity to say that because all those type of problems completely stem from your own devices lack of processing power and it is not the games fault, all in all this is a great game i’d recommend to anybody who wants to have fun killing time
