Might not be clear, from the trailers, but it's actually a turn-based battle system, which is a marked departure from HI3 or GI. Still some damn good production values, so we'll see if that style of battle system can still be interesting.

You can check out beta videos on YT to see the battle system

Game should be coming out April 26

I'll install it when they FIX DEHYA

I'm gonna install this and check it out, but the turn-based gachas have never really been able to hold my attention (Fire Emblem Heroes aside). Unless the story can really hook me like Genshin Impact's did, I dunno how long this one's gonna stay on my list.

I'm kind or vary of both the turn-based battle system (since it's going to become auto-battle spam for most stuff down the road) and no open world, because exploration is one of the biggest appeals of Genshin for me, but I do like the setting, so I want to give this a try too.

[Obsidian]

The lack of open world is kind of appealing to me honestly, mostly because I definitely don't have time for two Genshin Impacts haha.

[Gokulo]

That's another side to that haha. From what people say, this can be played with a significantly smaller time investment

Also, first redeem codes to use after you create a character:

Welp the site is overloaded already.

BTW url to redeem codes once character is created: https://hsr.hoyoverse.com/gift

[The Stig]

I'll check it out. Happy my Genshin login works, it wasn't obvious that you can use it but at least it can be reused for this.

Anyone know if there is a paimon like entity or can my character actually speak this time around?

Gokulo: you say create character... do you mean like a MMORPG like one where I customise, or pick a male/female MC like genshin? I can't find details (clearly) on it on the main site

[Gokulo]

Like Genehin - just gender choice

[6souls]

I miss being able to jump

Another code: HSRVER10XEDLFE

[carlweathers]

Is there anything particulary interesting about this game? I like the fan service of FEH and the MMO-light aspects to Genshin Impact so I'm not sure if I have it in me for another gacha.
