Genshin Impact: Harness the power of the seven elements in Teyvat
Genshin Impact is set in the fictional open world of Teyvat that’s full of life and elemental energy. The backstory of Genshin Impact is about two magic-wielding siblings who are stripped of their powers and separated by an unknown God. In Genshin Impact, you can choose either the brother or the sister as the protagonist.
In Genshin Impact, the player can “harness the seven elements to unleash elemental reactions.” The seven elements are Anemo, Electro, Hydro, Pyro, Cryo, Dendro and Geo. In order to defeat powerful enemies, you’ll have to master the seven elements. Mastery of the seven elements is also needed to solve puzzles and reach different destinations in the in-game world.
In 2020, Apple awarded Genshin Impact as the iPhone Game of the Year.
Gameplay in Genshin Impact combines both melee and ranged attacks like hack-and-slash action with swords and magic-based attacks.
