Get ready to collect new Anima and explore the new district

Honkai: Nexus Anima is the latest game in the popular Honkai series. It’s a fun mix of collecting cute creatures, going on adventures, and using strategy. You’ll collect and level up creatures called Anima, learn new skills, and then battle it out in exciting autobattler matches.
