Latest Genshin Impact can work on Waydroid if you do some steps first. Bear in mind it is touchscreen only, so theres not much you can do without using a mapper.

Long long ago Genshin Impact stopped working on Waydroid, crashing (freezing) before loading the world. One user posted an issue on the repo, and after some time posted the patches applied for it to work. Seems like Genshin tries to apply optimizations for specific GPUs and doesn't recognize your GPU correctly, so you have to force a vendor internally.

You can clone the github repo and apply the patches to the system image. Or if you trust people on the internet, download the patched images on the same repo.

I liked Genshin until I noticed I love more to waste my time programming and doing system administration. Genshit is just time waster 3000 it doesn't even have a good history (my world level was like 50 lol). I played it primarily because it was really similar to Zelda Breath of the Wild

Pretty much same. I thought it was a Zelda clone and got hooked by the gambling mechanics.

I don't even know what the story is anymore. I just put in autoclick and check some times to see if the game needs me to move to another place for another 6 hours of talk.

I used to pay attention but it's just empty sausage to keep the player engaged longer cheaply. There is no puzzles or game play.

It's as interesting and addictive as a slot machine, but with 10 hours of torture between each pull of the lever.
