What kind of game is this? With Bless Unleashed you are experiencing an open-world action MMORPG set in the same world as the discontinued Bless Online.
You will embark on adventures in the world and engage in fast-paced, action-packed battles against many monsters.
- You create your hero from 5 classes and four races
- The combat is active and action-packed
- Combos play an important role
- Teamplay is in focus
- In the endgame, the focus is on dungeons, PvP, and farming the best gear
The German YouTuber Entenburg has taken a closer look at the game in a video:
What makes it special? The focus of Bless Unleashed is particularly on the active and action-packed combat system, as well as the various challenges that exist early on in the MMORPG.
You can defeat your first instanced boss with a teammate as early as level 5, and throughout the leveling process, you have access to a variety of dungeons. Additionally, you will encounter bosses in the open world that you must defeat together with many players. This creates a very good MMO feeling.
How has it performed since release? Bless Unleashed started with very strong player numbers on Steam. On release day, over 76,000 players were online simultaneously. Since release, an average of about 41,600 players have been playing the new MMORPG (via Steamcharts).
Especially at the beginning, Bless Unleashed received many negative reviews. Some critics refer primarily to the old Bless Online, which was discontinued on Steam after about a year. However, there is also criticism for open PvP, pay-to-win, and the occasionally clunky combat system.
MeinMMO editor Alexander Leitsch has closely examined the new MMORPG and expressed his opinion: Bless Unleashed would be a really great MMORPG if it weren’t for these 2 issues.
