The official website is where you want to head to download the PC version. If you are on Google Play, App Store or PlayStation Store, you will find the game listed there as well. For a quick overview of the game, as you begin you are introduced to the protagonist Aether or Lumine, one of the two twins stranded in Teyvat and separated from each other. The player along with anime-style-mascot named Paimon go to the quest to find the lost sibling by taking guidance from seven deities in the world called Archons. Each of them rules a particular nation and element. As a player you can have your own elemental power called Vision. Currently, there are seven types – Anemo, Hydro, Cryo, Geo, Pyro, Electro, and Dendro. As for weapons, you have Sword, Claymore, Polearm, Bow, and Catalyst.
The account level is named Adventure Rank. And to begin, you need to first reach Adventure Rank 16 through solo gameplay.
