Honkai: Star Rail 12+

I downloaded and played Honkai Star Rail on release and from the start it was clear that this game aimed and succeeded to be action-packed and entertaining. The experience so far has been fantastic with really exciting gameplay, endearing characters, and an incredibly hooking storyline.

Unfortunately, the latest few updates has left me completely unable to play the game for several months now. The amount of storage space it takes (and seems to be rapidly increasing) is something that I feel has turned down a lot of potential players including myself. The device I play on has limited storage, which as much as I'd want to, would not be financially worth increasing just to be able to play. I've seen all the recent advertisement for the new Penacony region and it's characters, and I've been extremely interested in trying it out. I understand the game has a lot of data to hold with new storylines, characters, graphics, etc. But it is extremely disheartening to have to stop playing for something such as poor storage optimization.

I can only hope that one day this gets resolved in the future so that myself and others can pick it back up again.

I love this game so much, I’ve been playing for about a year, until I tried to log into my account, and it said “account doesn’t exist” Now, I have two emails, so I tried the other and it brought me to a new account. Tried for the next few hours to find out what happened but ended up making a new account. I was really mad but it ended out okay because I got Aventurine (My favorite character that I had saved up 70 pulls for on my original account for and lost my 50/50) I caught up with the story and it was fine. However, I made a backup account in case it happened again. One day I tried to log into either account and it brought me to the very beginning of the story at square one. I was so mad, and started crying because I had to restart again. So I made a new account. I haven’t tried to log into it since I deleted the game, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was gone as well. I made 4 hoyoverse accounts, the accounts worked for Genshin, I still have my original account on Genshin. But Honkai has banned at least three of my accounts. My friends said that I still showed up on their friend list, proving that my accounts do still exit, but I cannot log into them despite knowing the password, user, and email I used for each account. I have just given up on even trying to get back to the end of the story to continue in fear that I won’t be able to log into my account.

Honkai Star Rail in my personal opinion is one of the best gacha games in the world. And in my opinion it will stay that way, as the turn based combat is incredibly fun, the character designs are very good, animations are very good, the story is incredible, you are able to do events at your own pace as a lot of them are not time limited which is really friendly for new players and players who aren’t able to play daily. The energy system with 240 trailblaze power and overflow energy is also incredible as that will allow players to not be forced to use their energy. And the game is incredibly generous with rewards. You are guaranteed at least 1 5 star each patch which is very nice and getting stellar jades for pulls is very easy unlike getting currency in other gacha games. For example in Genshin Impact, you could spend hours and not get a single pull which is extremely frustrating, but spend a few hours in Honkai Star Rail, and you will get around 5-10 pulls which is much better in my opinion. Overall the fun gameplay, great story, and generosity of this game will allow it to continue being one of the best gacha games for years to come in my opinion.
