'''''Honkai Impact 3rd''''' (CN: 崩坏3; pinyin: Bēng Huài 3), also called '''''Houkai 3rd''''' in Japan and '''''Honkai Impact 3''''' in Southeast Asia, is a 2016 Chinese free-to-play 3D [[Action RPG]] by miHoYo Co., Ltd. for mobile and Windows. It is a [[Spiritual Successor]] to the same company's ''Houkai Gakuen 2'', also known as ''Guns Girl Z'', and reimagines several characters and concepts from the earlier title in a new setting.
On an alternate Earth, humanity has been plagued since time immemorial by "Honkai", a phenomenon with
The game initially follows Valkyrie-in-training Kiana Kaslana (CN: Dian Tao; JP: [[Rie Kugimiya]]) as she battles alongside classmates Mei Raiden (CN: Jiang Jingju; JP: [[Miyuki Sawashiro]]) and Bronya Zaychik (CN: Hanser; JP: [[Kana Asumi]]) to stop the hostile flying battleship ''Selene'' attacking the city of Nagazora. They return to their education at the [[Extranormal Institute]] St. Freya Academy under Shicksal's Far East branch afterwards, but secrets about themselves, those around them and the world soon come to light, and they quickly find themselves very far from home.
Line 74:
* [[Masquerade]]: Most of humanity is kept in the dark about the true extent of the war against the Honkai. This is made especially clear in Chapter 23 where Welt and Bronya investigate an exhibition of Honkai beast statues and none of the visiting civilians express the kind of alarm or disgust one might expect from encountering replications of the monsters terrorising them.
* [[Mysterious Past]]: Durandal's past is a blank. Officially, she is an amnesiac orphaned by the Second Eruption. Unofficially, her sheer strength and a number of curious coincidences have invited much speculation both in-universe and out as to who or what she really is. Later reveals show those coincidences were not coincidences after all.
* [[Name Order Confusion]]: The official localization has East Asian characters with family name first, so Mei is officially "Raiden Mei". However, everyone else goes with family name last. It gets confusing with, among others, a pair of characters named Welt Joyce and Welt Yang who it's hard to tell at first glance what the name order actually is.
* [[Necromantic]]: {{spoiler|Otto Apocalypse's}} plots, which have caused much harm and killed or hurt many people, are driven by his desire to resurrect [[The Lost Lenore]].
* [[Ragtag Bunch of Misfits]]: Despite the fancy name, the Flame-Chasers could only be called a team in the most charitable sense.
