Honkai: Star Rail is a free-to-play turn-based RPG developed and published by HoYoverse (miHoYo). Set in a science-fantasy universe, players follow the Trailblazers aboard the Astral Express as they journey across different planets and civilizations, each threatened by mysterious entities called the Stellaron.\n\nCombat is squad-based and turn-based, with players assembling teams of four characters drawn from a variety of paths (archetypes) such as The Hunt, Erudition, Nihility, and Abundance. Each character has unique abilities and elemental affinities, and strategic team composition is central to clearing harder content.\n\nThe game features an extensive gacha system for obtaining new characters and light cones (equipment), along with a rich story-driven campaign, side quests, and endgame modes like Memory of Chaos and Pure Fiction. Regular version updates introduce new story chapters, characters, and limited-time events.\n\nHonkai: Star Rail launched on PC and mobile in April 2023 and expanded to PlayStation 5 in October 2023, quickly amassing a large global player base and becoming one of HoYoverse's flagship live-service titles.
