    Auto Combat, clunky control's, p2w and no real dungeons or challenges to speak of. A really disappointing game.

    When i first opened Black Desert mobile i was amazed with the great storyline and graphics. I got a bit tired when things went the p2w way and the grinding became so time consuming. Therefore i didnt really bother checking out the dungeons (if there were any) and other stuff that was available in this game.

    Probably the most fun mobile game I've ever played.

    Normally I hate autoplay stuff in MMORPG's but I actually don't mind it in this game. I choose some quests that have some good rewards before I go to sleep and then use black spirit mode to complete the quests and start the next day with some extra healing items. Autoplay is completely optional aswell. I don't use it while I'm actually    Probably the most fun mobile game I've ever played.

Autoplay is completely optional aswell. I don't use it while I'm actually online just because the combat is so fun.

    The PvP in this game is okay, if everything was balanced then it'd be great. The biggest problem is that if someone has maybe 30 more CP than you, you'll lose. The PvP is only fair when both players have around the same amount of CP (+-10 CP). And that's really rare.

    The story isn't interesting at all so I won't bother to talk about it.

    The camp system is pretty cool, it reminds me of games like Forge of Empires.

    The bosses are absolutely amazing in my opinion, when you get the hang of it you'll start to feel like you're playing something like Bloodborne on your phone. Dodging is fun although I wish the stamina regenerated more quickly.

    Lastly, the graphics are great, especially on pc emulators. I play the game on my iPad air 2 and the graphics are okay for a big game like this.    … Expand

    Black Desert Mobile operates as a typical MMORPG, which unfortunately isn’t saying much. Yes, the battles are fun, leveling up my character and equipment is mindless entertainment as with many MMORPGs, and the visuals look great when not zoomed out, but I was hoping for a more engaging experience. If anything, I’m now more inclined to get the PS4 version of Black Desert Online to see all this game has to offer.

    There are many pay-to-win distortion, grinding and technical flaws, but Black Desert Mobile manages to present almost all the characteristics of the original MMORPG on mobile devices.

    Old School RuneScape is under no threat whatsoever from losing its crown as best mobile MMORPG, and those that actually don’t mind autoplay experiences are far better off playing Lineage 2: Revolution, which is simply a better version of this garbage in every single way.
