    TEXTBOOK example of Pay to Win. No level requirements or anything for top tier equipment. Buy inventory slots and sell them on the market. Instant top-tier gear.
    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...    … Expand

    Play this only if you love getting bullied by 12 year olds.
    Toxic community with forced PVP.
    Newer players keep getting bullied by higher level Pay2win players with no hope of defending themselves.
    These devs never learn and are going down the same forced Pay2Win PVP path as Blessed Online.
    Bunch of early 10/10 reviews look fake.

    Boring unoptimized crap. Not so much has changed since original bless. Just stop this necromancy.

    Bless unleashed is a pretty bad game. It's year 2020 and there's just no excuse for clunky combat mechanics, copied and pasted NPCs, hardly no voice communication in game from NPCs. The NPC merchants have the most ridiculous sayings every time you go to them. It makes the already boring grind that much worse especially from level 16 to 19. After that long and boring grind I finally madeBless unleashed is a pretty bad game.

The NPC merchants have the most ridiculous sayings every time you go to them. It makes the already boring grind that much worse especially from level 16 to 19. After that long and boring grind I finally made it to level 120 and was simi excited for pvp. What a disappointment! The que takes as long as a hour at times and again the clunky combat is just horrible. To top everything off, April 3rd their ingame store had a bug and if you happened to be in the store during the bug there's a great chance your account was banned because of their mistake.

    In closing, the developers didn't do a good job at all with the important aspects of a mmo and then they punished players because of their mistake. This of course is making this game for me incredibly difficult to enjoy. After careful consideration it's time to uninstall this waste of time and focus on any one of the hundreds of other games on the xbox that are are actually worth my time.    … Expand

    Combat is clunky and hit feedback is laggy. Just walking around also feels clunky. Uninstall.

    Combat mechanics: Horrible and slow where most of the time you get locked in animations.

    Holy Trinity: None Class Variety: 5 Classes, and they're all locked to specific races. Content: Far from enough considering it is supposed to be an MMORPG. While the game looks beautiful, graphics doesn't make a game good, period. They're already following the same path as Bless Online    Combat mechanics: Horrible and slow where most of the time you get locked in animations.

    Holy Trinity: None

    Class Variety: 5 Classes, and they're all locked to specific races.

    Content: Far from enough considering it is supposed to be an MMORPG.

    While the game looks beautiful, graphics doesn't make a game good, period.

    They're already following the same path as Bless Online which failed in multiple regions on the PC, and that is a really bad sign. Super expensive cash shop. Almost to the point where you wonder if they designed this game specifically for whales (big spenders) to keep the game running.

    Bosses and their mechanics are horribly designed, where you can dodge but you still get hit and in some cases even killed. The Crusader class was designed to be a 'tank' in this game, but it it's much of a tank because it takes just as much damage as a light armor wearer, and it is slow.

    Bosses literally have no threat table other than attacking whomever does the most damage, which means the Crusader is useless, and bosses have literally no cooldowns on certain abilities, which makes using combo attacks pointless.

    The game uses a Stamina bar system where the bar is consumed by multiple activities such as sprinting, dodging and more. It drains at an insane rate which means you can only sprint for 5-6 seconds and it has a horribly slow regen rate.

    Healing in the game is ridiculous as there is no passive health regeneration aka your health does not climb back over time and you need to constantly craft or buy health potions, which is another ridiculous system all together.

    Health potions have a seriously long cooldown, and with the current combat mechanics and systems in place, it makes for a horribly unbalanced game, with unbalanced and poorly designed mechanics.

    Only viable classes in this game are ranged.

    You can only track 1 quest besides your main campaign quest at any given time, which is far from the typical mmorpg way of doing quest tracking.

    It has a very high focus on crafting and questing, yet quests are extremely boring/tedious as well as feeling completely unrewarding (literally!) because you need to constantly upgrade your gear to be able to kill stuff, and some stuff are inaccessible until you get to a certain gear score and level or both.

    Combat feels unrewarding because of the fact that there's no passive health regen, so you have to as i said, craft and use a ton of potions.

    When it comes to the inventory and bank management, it has THE most outrageous designs i have ever seen in my life. Personal character inventory is extremely limited and the bank stash is even worse. You get a total of 8 bank slots, and in order to expand your bank stash you need to fork out real money.

    As for the personal inventory you need to run around opening chests to get 1 fragment of which you need to collect 4 of to hand in to get 1 single inventory slot unlocked. Each zone have a limited amount of these chests, and with the amount of stuff you pick up, you're bound to be forced to delete a ton of items, both gear and resources. So you need to make alts, which brings me to the next point.

    Character slots. You're limited to only a few character slots, unless you paid a hefty sum for the head start packs.

    The camera feels really bad when riding and when fighting. It is far too close to your character/mount and with the lock-on feature it just feels plain horrible, especially when you fight a boss and you use lock-on target. There is no camera zoom option either, so you're stuck with a zoomed-in camera. Cause that's how it feels like.

    Overall, it feels like they spent far too little time listening to their community feedback from the betas and stress test. The game feels unfinished and very unpolished in most aspects and is definitely not worthy of the praise these biased white knights give it on reddit/official twitter.

    This will be just another Bless Online fiasco. Mark my words.    … Expand

    The world building, cities and some of the characters are instantly memorable and made me want to learn more. But when coupled with an unpolished backdrop, laggy and uninspired combat and a boring, frustrating grind, it makes it hard to recommend to anyone who is looking for a good free-to-play MMO to check out, especially when alternatives like Warframe and Phantasy Star Online 2 exist on the same platform. Hopefully time brings Bless Unleashed to the level we were all hoping for – but right now it’s just not there. It honestly feels like it needed more time to bake before being released – feeling rushed out to hit a deadline, and it definitely shows in the final result.

    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.

    Bless Unleashed, when it’s not completely broken, is a boring, unfun disaster. Everything about the game has too many issues to even recommend at the very low price of free.
