About Genshin Impact game
Genshin Impact is an action role-playing game developed and
published by miHoYo. The game features an open-world environment and
action-based battle system using elemental magic and character-switching, and
uses gacha game monetization for players to obtain new characters, weapons, and
other resources. The game is online-only and features a limited multiplayer
mode allowing up to four players to play together. It was released for
Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, Android, iOS in September 2020, for
PlayStation 5 in April 2021, and for Nintendo Switch sometime later.
Genshin Impact takes place in the fantasy world of Teyvat,
which is home to seven distinct nations, each of which is tied to an element
and ruled by a god associated with it. The story follows a twin, referred to as
the Traveler, who has traveled across many worlds with their twin but has
become separated from them by an unknown god in Teyvat. The Traveler travels
across Teyvat in search of the lost sibling with their companion Paimon and
becomes involved in the affairs of the other nations, gods, and the world.
The game received generally positive reviews, with critics
praising the combat and open-world freedom while some criticism was raised at
its endgame content and monetization model. A commercial success, the game
grossed over $1 billion within six months of release.

The player can control their character and perform actions
such as running, climbing, swimming, and gliding which are limited by stamina.
Some characters possess abilities that can alter the environment, such as
freezing water to create a path that can aid the player in traversing terrain. Many
teleportation nodes exist throughout the world that players can warp to, and
statues known as the Statues of The Seven can heal and revive characters and
provide benefits such as increasing player stamina. Items such as food and ore
may be procured from the open world, while enemies and treasure chests drop
other types of resources that may be used in enhancing a character's strength.
Players can obtain food from hunting animals, gathering fruit and vegetables,
or purchasing them from a store. Ingredients that can be cooked into meals that
regenerate characters' health or boost various statistics. Players can also
procure ore that can be refined and then used to enhance weapon strength or
create weapons.
An elemental reaction between Pyro and Electro results in
"Overloaded", creating an explosion.
Each character has two unique combat skills: an elemental
skill and an elemental burst. The elemental skill can be used at any time
except for the cooldown period immediately after use. In contrast, the
elemental burst has an energy cost, requiring the user to amass sufficient
elemental energy by defeating enemies or inflicting elemental status effects. Characters
have 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. These elements can interact in different
ways; for example, if a Hydro attack hits a target, the enemy will be inflicted
with the "Wet" status effect, and if they are hit with a Cryo attack,
it will inflict "Cold". These two status effects combine into the
"Frozen" status effect, temporarily preventing the target from
performing any actions or until the player deals enough physical damage to the
enemy. Switching between characters during combat and executing those skills
allows those elemental interactions to take place. Certain elemental abilities
may be required to solve puzzles within the overworld.
A multiplayer mode is available in the form of co-op. Up to
4 players can play together in the overworld and join domains. Player matching
can either be done by requesting to connect with another player. If the player
wishes to clear a domain with other players, they will be automatically matched
up with others looking to tackle the same objective. The game features
cross-platform play, so players on any platform can play with each other.
By completing quests to advance the story, the player can
unlock five additional playable characters, and more characters can be obtained
via a gacha mechanic and in-game events. Several premium in-game currencies,
obtainable through in-app purchases and playing the game, can be used to obtain
characters and weapons through the gacha system. A pity system guarantees that
the player will receive rare items after a set number of draws.
