You take the role of a Captain leading Valkyries, a cast of fighters protecting civilization from the Honkai. The story follows their struggle through narrative chapters, voiced scenes, and animated cutscenes.
In real-time battles, control a Valkyrie’s attacks and abilities, dodge enemy strikes, and switch between team members to link skills and combos. Different characters have distinct movesets, and team choices shape how you approach encounters.
Alongside the campaign, the game offers varied activities including co-op puzzles and boss fights, racing and shooting minigames, and larger open-area or shooter-style modes. You can collect and upgrade Valkyries and equipment, then take on challenges and events for further progression.
In the supplied reviews, players often praise the story—especially its character arcs—along with the cast, animated scenes, and music. Fast, flashy combat and its character variety are also recurring points of enjoyment, as are the range of side modes and long-term content. Some reviewers find the story slow or wordy, and opinions differ on combat and later content.
