HoYoverse hopes that “through the combination of turn-based gameplay and the Honkai franchise, more players will be able to experience Honkai: Star Rail, and feel the charm of the Honkai franchise.”
Honkai: Star Rail‘s battle system is a major departure from the biggest games HoYoverse is known for.
The Honkai: Star Rail development team told DualShockers it’s “committed to developing products of different varieties to improve the player’s experience and choice so that more players can find the genres of games they are interested in HoYoverse.
With Honkai: Star Rail, however, HoYoverse strives to make a turn-based battle system that will gradually allow each player to “form a playstyle that suits their own pace and personality.”
