Now, we talked briefly about the combat, but let us dive further so we can better explain why you’re going to enjoy Honkai Impact 3rd if you’re a fan action games. If you’re a fan of games like Bayonetta, then it becomes a bit easier to understand how the basic mechanics of Honkai Impact 3rd work. Choose a Valkyrie such as Kiana, Mei, Bronya and Himeko each delivering a different style of combat and skill sets. Mei, for example, is a fast Shinobi-like warrior whose attacks might not be strong but are swift. Meanwhile Kiana—the main female Valkyrie protagonist—is an all-around fighter who uses her dual handguns with an assortment of martial arts moves. Despite the controls being the same for each warrior, Honkai Impact 3rd feels different depending on who you control and some of the girls need to be used as their strengths help against enemies’ various styles that might counter their own.
