The action RPG allows players to control one of four switchable characters in a team. There is a massive open-world environment to discover. Characters can perform actions like flying across the open world and swimming through crystal-clear waters, depending on stamina levels. Moreover, they can climb the towering mountains and even glide, all to discover the hidden secrets of a world filled with wonder and mystery.
The goal is to master the seven elements. Genshin Impact characters possess control over one of seven natural elements. Cryo, Dendro, Pyro, Hydro, Anemo, Electro, and Geo, which correspond to ice, nature, fire, water, air, electricity, and earth, respectively. Manipulating the various elements is the key to defeating powerful enemies and solving challenging puzzles.
Players get to choose who fights by their side. They can build their party from over 20 characters, each with unique abilities, personalities, and combat styles. Additionally, miHoYo has plans to keep including more characters.
The game is online-only and supports cross-play. Players can head into battles and travel the world solo, or they can use the multiplayer mode. Players can invite up to four friends across various platforms to join the fight against dangerous monsters.
