When a developer launches a new game, it is only normal to feel that the new product will be the same as previous ones. In the case of HoYoverse, this idea applies even more given how they are the masters of the gacha-gaming genre right now. Yet, the Chinese developer has been trying to make its games different to attract different types of players to them. While the character design might be similar, the biggest changes rely on the gameplay part. This is even more evident in the case of the upcoming game. While some fans of this company have been following the updates of the new game closely, some don’t know too much about it. Well, no need to worry. Today we’ll tell you all the differences between Honkai: Star Rail and Genshin Impact.
All Honkai: Star Rail and Genshin Impact differences
First, we must remember that the game comes from the same developer. With this in mind it is only normal that you’ll see some similar systems so let’s begin with that:
- Both games have gacha-mechanics
- Both titles share the same anime-like style
- The two games have different nations/worlds for players to explore
There are many more things that both games have in common but these are the most evident ones. Now, let’s look at all the differences between the titles:
- Honkai: Star Rail will be a turn-based RPG
- Genshin Impact is an action RPG
- Honkai: Star Rail doesn’t have an open world as big as Genshin Impact’s
- Genshin Impact has a whole map that is connected
- Honkai: Star Rail doesn’t have a Stamina or Dodge Mechanic
- Honkai: Star Rail has more daily missions

While there are even more differences between the games, we think these are the most relevant ones. We imagine that once the new game launches, we’ll be able to spot even more. So far, we like how different games feel, and we think it is a great strategy to get different players. While Genshin Impact will continue to be successful due to all the things it constantly gets, we think the upcoming game is on the right track. So, remember to pre-register for the game before it launches on April 26, 2023.
