Hoyoverse will soon add another genre to its growing list of Gacha games, this time in a form of a new game called Honkai: Nexus Anima. This may attract Pokemon fans as it is a collector of creators, and although it looks different from the Nintendo series, there are several key ways. And, if your fantasy is needed, you can even sign up for its first Nexus Bond test.
First of all, there are some big differences. For beginners, the combat system is completely different. Pokemon sees you pierce the pocket monsters usually 1V1, each with four moves to choose from, honkai: Nexus Anima's main combat system looks closer to automatic fighters like automatic chess or team tactics.
You also seem to be able to play Anima in different ways (the game is nominally equivalent to Pokemon). These include racing mini games, mini games you shoot at the beach ball and where you… destroy the office building! Your player character seems to have a range of customization options, but you can also play like a different character. Just like in recent Pokemon games, you can ride different Animas to bypass the game's world.
To participate in the beta test of the game, all you need to do is go to it Official websiteclick the Join Test button and log in to your Hoyoverse account. You will then be asked to fill out a questionnaire that will ask you about the device you are playing, other games and how much it usually costs on the game.
It is worth noting that the test is only on iOS and PC, and will simplify Chinese, traditional Chinese, English, Japanese and Korean as language options – more languages will be added in the future.
The test is now live until September 12. The release date for the full game has not been disclosed yet.
