Honkai Impact 3rd is a 3D action role-playing game developed and published by HoYoverse (formerly miHoYo). Players take on the role of Captains commanding a team of Valkyries — powerful fighters battling an otherworldly force known as the Honkai — across a story-driven campaign that spans dozens of chapters and seasonal content updates.\n\nCombat is fast-paced and stylish, blending hack-and-slash combos, dodge mechanics, and character-swapping into fluid real-time battles. Each Valkyrie has a unique playstyle, skill set, and gear loadout, encouraging players to build and optimize squads for different game modes including open-world stages, co-op raids, and competitive Abyss rankings.\n\nThe game features an extensive gacha system for acquiring new characters and equipment, a rich sci-fi/fantasy narrative with high-production anime cutscenes, and a large cast of fan-favorite characters. Originally launched on mobile in 2016, it later expanded to PC via both its own client and Steam.
