The MMORPG Bless Online did not receive a good reception from players. However, this could change with Bless Unleashed. According to testers, the online role-playing game is really good.
What is Bless Unleashed? Neowiz is working on Bless Unleashed, an MMORPG for consoles that is based on the PC game Bless Online. It is not a port, but offers new mechanics and a different story.
Testers like the MMORPG
What do the first testers think? People who can already play Bless Unleashed are pleasantly surprised. After the PC MMORPG, Bless Unleashed is said to play quite well.
- The graphics are very pretty and detailed
- Leveling up is fun and feels good. You always have the feeling of achieving something with each level-up.
- Exploring the game world is varied. It’s not just about grinding; there is much to discover. For example, hidden treasure chests.
- Crafting and gathering resources are enjoyable, but not overly complex
- The UI is clear, and all text is very readable on a television
- The in-game menu is easy to navigate
- The quests introduce you well to the world, and the stories make you feel like a part of it
Are there still problems? However, the current beta version is not “perfect.” There are also things that players criticize:
- The battles feel clunky. This is due to the long animations.
- The character’s movement speed is too slow. For many, this even seems unintentionally funny.
- Performance needs to be optimized. There are still frequent lags.
- There are still bugs, and not all content is playable in the beta
Are we expecting a surprise?
Here’s how players react: There is already intense discussion about the beta version of the game. Here are some reactions from testers:
- ChickenChaserLP says on Reddit: “Aside from the lag, it plays very solidly. The combat needs to be faster, as the time between pressing the buttons feels a bit long.”
- bolshlee writes on Reddit: “Yes, the combat still needs polishing, but you should expect that from a beta. Hats off to the developers who have put in so much hard work to bring this game to life.”
- NewFaded also explains on Reddit: “It works quite well on console (aside from some crashes and performance issues). But I will hold off on a judgment until I see how they integrate microtransactions.”
What does this mean? Judging by the reactions of the beta testers, Neowiz seems to have learned from the problems of Bless Online. It seems that with Bless Unleashed, a surprisingly good MMORPG is expected. The release will show how well the online role-playing game is received and whether it can break free from the bad reputation of the PC version.
Bless Unleashed is expected to be released for Xbox One by the end of 2019.
