This game is not as bad as my siblings (player gi) said to me. But it requires a smartphone with a snapdragon chipset to play. There is no battery meter. It takes a lot of battery and internet data. Gacha rate is different for character and light cone (weapon) banners. But still it depends on luck. Hard pity said 90, but still not guarantee to get a gold one (5 star). I always hit hard pity (90 pulls) and failed first (rate on). That means I need to choose one character only. Leaks are helpful but not always accurate (for example, it is predicted Xueyi release in 1.4 but guinaifen).

Okay here my honest review playing starting from official launch. Before this I was like other people thinking this game sucks because it is turn based rpg. I played turn based rpg before and I know how lame it is.. BUT, I tell you that this game is different from typical turn based rpg.. seriously HSR is different, it is fun to play and I am addicted now, I want to play every hour.. give a try if you dont trust me
