    Bless Unleashed is the new MMORPG released by Bandai Namco exclusively for Xbox One and in a free to play format. A great game which, although it has a lot of room for improvement, will dazzle fans of the genre thanks to its graphics and great gameplay.

    As an MMO, Bless Unleashed it perfectly serviceable, but those that want to make rapid progression are going to be sorely disappointed and frustrated with many of its draconic design choices. MMO’s are hard to review, as they are constantly evolving, being updated and changing with what the community and developers want. As of this point in time, I can certainly recommend giving Bless Unleashed a shot since I still find myself logging on every day, and given that it’s completely free to play, there’s no real reason not to. Be warned, as you’re in for a long and arduous grind if you stick with it, and it’s incredibly challenging when it comes to combat in the later dungeons, but I only expect Bless to improve in many facets in the future.

The story is a long and winding saga to uncover the culprits and motives to a heinous act of slaughter, and the ensuing chaos left in its wake. Character Creation is based mainly off of Race. You have four races to chose from, Human, Elf, Varg, and Ippin, and each has access to a select range of classes. As in most Fantasy settings, Humans are the most versatile with access to most of the classes. Elves Make for great rangers or mages, playing off of their connection with nature. Varg play out as Berserkers, using their size as leverage in combat. Ippin are small and courageous, taking roles as Priests and Crusaders. The gameplay is heavily character progression based, with two main aspects determining how far you can progress in the story. Your Character Level, and your Gear Score. If you aren't high enough in both of these aspects, some quests aren't even available. The world is enormous! With constant availability to action, between the static encounters and the world bosses. World Bosses are usually HUGE and always a powerful challenge requiring a gathering of players to defeat. The combat is one of the best MMORPG combat systems I've had the pleasure of experiencing with combo strings and dodging, much like The Surge 2. There is never a lack of things to do, even when all you can do is grind to achieve the Level and Gear Score you need to do the next quests. To fans of MMORPGs I highly recomend you check this game out, for a Free-To-Play game, with optional purchases, it packs a World Boss sized package.… Full Review »

    Level increase is a GRIND. I mean take your worst experience in an MMO and take that grind and multiply it by 100 (this is not an exaggeration).
    There isn't enough content to get a character to level 30 w/o spamming the same 6? dungeons dozens of time. I gave up leveling past 35 - its just too tedious (max is 45)...
    Character Builds - there really aren't any. Everyone uses the same setup and rotation by class.
    Economy - being Pay to Win has broken the economy. There is no way to make money unless you luck up with a "Fashion Item" in a dungeon drop. I would guess these are between .1-1% chance.
    There are lots of other issues with the game but they are just too numerous to mention...    … Full Review »
