Honkai: Star Rail

Space travel on a galactic train sets the scene for Honkai: Star Rail, a HoYoverse space-fantasy RPG published by COGNOSPHERE PTE. LTD. Players ride the Astral Express from world to world, meeting companions and chasing the truth behind a mysterious threat called the Stellaron.

The journey is structured around distinct stops, each a different world. The description lists a space station holding sealed Curios, a planet locked in endless winter, a starship that hunts monsters, a festive planet wrapped in sweet dreams, a land where fate hangs by a thread and a realm that was once trapped inside a painted scroll. At each stop, players explore, meet new characters, including some returning faces, and work through the local story. The listing presents it as a story-driven RPG experience throughout, built on travelling together and uncovering mysteries. Each world has its own civilisation and secrets to learn about.

The game averages 3.7 from more than 523,000 ratings, with 56% five stars and a notable 24% one star. It has 10,000,000+ installs. There are no ads, but the listing notes optional purchases that include random virtual items, with prices from $0.29 to $99.99 per item. The latest update was on 2026-08-13, Android 6.0 or newer is required, and it is rated Teen. We list 30 versions, the newest being 4.5.0.

Players who enjoy story-heavy RPGs and collecting companions should find a lot of world to explore. Anyone wary of randomised purchases, or put off by the sizeable one-star share, may want to weigh those points first.
