Game is great, soundtrack is great, character designs are good, story is decently written. "Invisible Object" (someone who wrote a review) power creep isn't even bad on hsr, I still actively use the beginning teams (Limeño, Welt, March 7th & Dan Heng) and clear everything, have done everything with only that team up to the current story events plus the side events/limited time events too
★★★★★homa KP· Aug 16, 2026
Most diverse gotcha game I've played. It's not a waifu simulator like Gen shin and UWA have become, which is probably the reason for its likable characters. Lots of fe/males with actual personalities & strong kits. What I appreciate most is that instead of pumping several copy-paste chars, older ones get story development, resulting in a new, stronger version to pull. Story and music quality has also been going strong for now. It's more of a 4.5, but it's a 5 for the developer's healthy mindset

The game is very dry for new players, I'm new and tried this game out, yes its good cause fate collab still up, played through story mode for 5 hours and only got around 3200 currency enough for 20 pulls on limited banner, it's very dry bro game's gacha pity on 90 pulls and it's been 5 hours of playing story quest, and you give around 3000+ enough for 20 pulls, man I suddenly stopped and looked for other games. Haven't played like this in any other game. I guess it's a fun run for my 5hrs playtime. CYA

I don't recommend new players to play as the Devs keep on power creep every single character on every update to the point that you have to pull new characters every update only for it to get outclassed after a few months. The recent in-game event are buns too, they're running out of ideas, so they decide to power creep. Personally, I feel like Hoyo completely lost interest in this game. And character design for female are repetitive, it's so dry. 100% not recommended to download.
