Action role-playing video game
Genshin Impact is a free-to-play role-playing game developed by miHoYo. The game takes place in a fictional, mythical world called Teyvat. In this dimension, certain individuals are granted a Vision by the gods. Visions are magical gemstones that give their bearer the ability to control an element. You will start out as a Traveler who is searching for a lost sibling. It is up to you if you want to be a female or male version of the main character.
What kind of game is Genshin Impact?
Genshin Impact takes place in Teyvat, a world blessed by seven Elemental Archons. In the distant past, the Archons granted mortals unique elemental abilities which allowed them to form a bountiful homeland out of the wilderness. However, the collapse of Teyvat has turned the universe upside down. The suffering has since ceased and the lands are slowly healing but peace has yet to be restored in Mondstadt, the City of Wind.
One of the Seven Archons’ agents, the Fatui, has been oppressing the surrounding city-states under the guise of protection. You have woken up in Teyvat as a mortal without any idea of just where your sibling could be. As you find a way home, you will meet new characters and find out more about The Seven. It’s important to be on the lookout for clues as they will unearth something miraculous.
In this open-world game, you’ll need to keep your eyes peeled. You will also need to engage in real-time combat and forage for sustenance to boost your stats. As the story progresses, you will be able to play as the characters—or with other players—you meet along the way. Every Genshin Impact character has its own unique personality and special ability. Together, they will undertake quests to know more about the primordial gods of their world.
They’re not easy to get, though, as some 5-star characters like Cyno and Ayaka are available for a limited time only. Fortunately, the second Wish Event banner type allows returning characters to be available much more frequently. This is great since some characters have element-specific abilities that would make them formidable opponents to dreaded enemies like the Abyss Heralds and Black Serpent Knights.
Get ready for a summer adventure
Travelers can look forward to a whole new set of adventures as Genshin Impact launches its 3.8 update. In this summer-themed patch, players will be able to meet up with Klee, Eula, and Kokomi as they explore a new time-limited map. This map will be filled with a variety of events and challenges that they can take on in order to earn exclusive rewards and primogems.
Players can also unlock a free skin for Kaeya after completing the event quest. They can also opt to purchase the exclusive skin for Klee, as well. The Cavalry Captain, Kaeya, will also have his very own hangout event following the latest update. Another notable feature that has been optimized is the ability to track and navigate quests from the quest menu in a much more intuitive manner.
Grand addition to the RPG genre
Genshin Impact has similar elements to another action-adventure game called The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. While this game also allows you to experience the world’s mythos, you will have full control over your first character, the Traveler, and the game’s other 30+ characters. Another difference is that cities and towns play a larger role in the storyline than BotW.
