And even better, playing with a controller feels crisp, responsive, and not at all tacked on or secondary to the mobile version’s touch controls. Weirdly though, the Windows 10 version of Honkai Impact 3rd does offer full, native Dual Shock 4 support, without the use of DS4Windows or other XInput masking programs. The author of this piece can’t weigh in personally and say that unfortunately, a lot of said menus require the user to move a cursor and “tap” on icons, since everything was originally designed for a touch interface. No one at Fanbyte has spent hundreds of hours playing Honkai Impact 3rd on iOS, especially not the person writing this very article, so there’s no one available to say that the PC version runs okay as compared to the real game on an iPhone 11, with gameplay sequences working great while menus are somehow a bit sluggish.

Previously, players that wanted to play the game on PC had to download the game’s APK and run it on an Android emulator, and that’s a lot more hassle than most people are willing to go through to play a phone game on their computer. Honkai Impact 3rd, which is a mobile gacha game that can be (somewhat unfairly) summed up as “Simplified Bayonetta but With an Incomprehensible High-Anime Plot™,” is now officially available on Windows 10.
