Collapse: Starrail

It is a popular award-winning game on the Apple App Store. This game was released by Hoyo Bus, which achieved tremendous success with Genshin Impact. The system is similar to Genshin Impact, so some see it as a sequel to Genshin Impact. Hoyoverse is said to have something called a star system, where characters with the same name and similar appearance appear identically in several separate games. It's unique that you can have a familiar experience even when playing a new game in the multiverse.
