Honkai Star Rail Developer Interview: Inside HoYoverse's Turn-Based Game

At the moment, Honkai: Star Rail has 27 different characters, all of which drastically influence the game's combat system. Because of their different builds and how they operate on the field, team comps can vary considerably, and having the option to switch a few characters in and out of battle, depending on the opponent, is the most recommended. Nevertheless, obtaining them means participating in the game’s gacha system. Obtaining the desired playable character in Honkai: Star Rail can be tricky since it depends on having luck with pulls in the banners.

Developer HoYoverse’s new title is quite different from the popular Genshin Impact , so players accustomed to the open-world action RPG will have to adapt to the new game’s core gameplay. Honkai: Star Rail has a turn-based combat system, which means players must choose what each character is to do on the field, and they will execute each action in order, based on their individual speed st
