reviews
Not gonna lie, this game is very good I downloaded this two weeks ago. Pretty Graphics, Amazing Characters and a Good Story mode. My only concern is that and earning weapons is quite difficult. I can't continue the story without grinding out for better weapons and accessories. Don't get me wrong I still like it though it's not worth the five stars.

Love this game. Leveling is slow going after 60, but the grind is worth it to me. Been trying characters I find interesting to play with and not having to delete them to try a new one is wonderful. Customization is unbelievable. I end up stuck wanting something unique. Unfortunately the game doesn't seem to be working under Samsung UI 4 update. Will there be an fix for it anytime soon?

Graphics are excellent, sound is good. However, the gameplay is pretty much the same as all the other mmos. Go here, kill this, go there, deliver that. Wash, rince and repeat. I stuck with it though until I reached the camp. At that point I lost interest completely. The game just hit me with a bunch of tutorials for something I wasn't interested in. I wanted to quest, not base build.

This is a character management game under a mmorpg architecture. Lots of PvE content, mowt can be achieved by F2P players. But make no mistake, for competitive spheres you will have to burn hundreds per week (optional). Guilds have GvG and PvE activities to do. By playing this you accept to farm almost 24/7 (auto mode for afk times). Weekly updates and living community. Endgame content is probably really server chat. Great game all in all.

It was great until i keep getting disconnected from the wifi or have connected but no internet access. Even when using data to play. I don't even experience this with other mobile games. Even if I'm not playing the game my internet connection is getting disconnected. I even uninstall and reinstall the game 6 times to see if the problem is my connection or something from the game. Turns out something in the game does screw with my connection. Sigh.

Black Desert has a beautiful graphics, Wonderful Skill Animations and so much character class to play with. I've been an old player but stopped playing and comes back after a while, needs grinding but its fun. Gears i used to grind to obtain, now they give it for free every update or every character class release so new player could catch up and thats a wonderful thing because they let new players catch up and old players still gets rewarded.

Keep it up PA. you have the best mmorpg on mobile (i played it on pc but struggled leveling up). looking forward for more features and event, been playing this for 3 months and i think I'll play this for years or decades.

What I like about this game: It does not drain the battery too much unlike the other mobile games. You can gain exp and loots while in sleeping mode. Awesome graphics and combat style. Lots of freebies and rewards just by logging in and progressing in the game. Lots of events and quests to do Nice story line. You can acquire high grade equipments, weapons, pets, mounts and costumes if you figure out the mechanics. Cool gameplay not boring.

Downloaded Black Desert Mobile on my tablet. It took 30 minutes to download, but everything worked out fine at the end. At start, you can create or customize your character. Threw out your adventure on this game. You will be able to own your horse, pets, upgrade weapons, armor and have your own camp. You can set controlling to your character, whether you can play or set it where it plays itself in battle. Also create your own or join a guild. ????On graphics and ????on game!A good role-playing game!

The game is good, but the screen is too blurry, and the vignette level is too dark, so it takes high lighting from the smartphone to see clearly. I hope my suggestions are taken into consideration to improve the quality of games like on Black Desert PC.

Love this game. After long time a very interesting game to play. Keep up the good work.the developers are doing a good job. Though I can't spend a lot of time in the game, I still manage to enjoy the game a lot. Good stress buster.game gets better every update. I have so much to do in game and hardly have less time. Keep up the good work developers. All the best.

I was surprised now, a lot of improvements have been implemented in a short time. Now my dissapointments are gone. The skill casting time, the iframes and damage, i think it's getting balanced for each class. Keep it up! Now I feel like I can get back to giving this game a decent high star rating. I'm hoping for more improvements in the future to make this game more interesting.

I downloaded this after reading its character creation is excellent. It is, but after spending two hours creating a character it just refuses to save it. Worse, after closing the app to restart it, it starts downloading u003e6GB of game data all over again even though it’s all already downloaded.

I love every bit of the game.. its very good game.. how about can you put crypto currency in the game.. so the players keep enjoying the game while making a bit of income using the gane.. for sure so many people will be happy.. the players can help the game become very very popular and pearl abyss also can help players to earn some money to put food in their tables.. ????????????????????????

Actually to be honest this game is good it's just that sometimes it annoys you when you go competitive instead of just enjoying the game it'll bury you to the ground because this game is made for the whales to look down on free to play players, well most games are but it's just annoying when you try to play arena and your opponent just 1 combo you, i mean where's the fun in that?

I'll happily change my review to higher stars once PA fixes the game and makes it enjoyable again u0026 not a standard "we're sorry to hear that" message auto reply either. This game has been the best MMO out there. I've played since the 1st week. My team has worked their way up to being a top guild only to have endgame content locked to us. There is nothing now to do as a team. Siege is broken. PA doesn't respond or fix it. Nodes are dead. PVP is broken to favor one class. BS is dead. Just fix it!

it felt like your play with pc or console because of it great graphic and wide map and control, but it a bit lag may be because it require higher OS Edit: Why are all players awakened or ascended already? It's pretty unfair for all old players. It's already unfair from the "pay to win" players now you made the new players ascended or awakened already. P.S. it's still fun tho and I really like this game it's just unfair. P.S. I didn't get any blue rose corolla

I think think this is the best MMORPG game I have ever played. Nothing come close. Graphics, gameplay, and character customization are all top notch. Easy to level up with awesome boss quest and the Ancient Ruins arena even without spending a dime.

The graphics are great and so is the landscape for games,trading is good, fair share off enemies, and it gives a fair share of currency you can grind. But the problem is... It LACKS something... It's an okayish game but there's something that makes the game boring whether it would be the auto battle sequence, Enemies respawn more quickly, And worst of all there aren't much of the players and missions are easy to finish. Overall it's good for people who like Idling but it's not for me.

Played this game a year ago, forgot to gave a review on it, so yes here we go, The graphics are absolutely beautiful, the combat system is nice but however the quests are quite long and boring and mostly requires to kill monsters and collect stuff.

This game is very fun and visually stunning. I'm enjoying despite the overpriced items and the p2w aspect. I wish for a lot fo items in this game to have reduced price. Tho I am curious if the classes will be similar to the pc version, like the Corsair, Nova, and Kunochi will have their Awakening. I love their weapons it's different than just another sword.

This Game is A Gem. Glad i tried this game. This Game Is F2P if you're wise to use your Black pearls and A Hard grinder. You don't even need to compete if you don't want to. Just take your time to get strong. The Graphics is too Good For A Cellphone Game.

its a cute game but please add more options to disable all the auto things. it's so annoying when i just want to go at my own speed but my character zooms at a hundred miles a minute due to auto sprint. it doesn't really fit my playing style.

Just started and I love it. Can't put it down. I have been looking for this caliber of a mmorpg on android forever. Granted it can be auto played "which I'm cool with" but you can do it all manual. Gear system is awesome and customizable. The grinds are not horrible. Hands down best mmorpg with good setup on game play. Great job!

Finally you gave sura a buff, its only skill rework. But still satisfied with the update. I hope in next update you'll also give sura a passive skill like the other classes. by the way fix the bug in arena. When you move sometimes you are stuck in one spot unable to move as if there is something stuck on the characters feet.

Im a 80% f2p in this game, and i played for 8 months, i grind and grind and grind and everytime i have enough resources, i start inhancing my gears and weapons but because the success rate is very low it always ended inhancement failed, other players says its because there is a so call system Random Number Generator (RNG)..theres no end in the cycle grind then inhance fail....got tired honestly and decided to quit playing coz i see plenty of player keep posting their concern yet nothing happen..

been playing for almost 1 and a half year now. love the sound effects and most of all graphics and PVP. If I'm gonna submit a feedback that would be to have all hair style applicable to gender. for example, u can apply the hairstyle lock of raven to lahn etc. but so far gerat game!

Don't play this game. Weekly they change the power to any classes making them weak or strong to make people lose their minds an spend more and more money. . I doubt that they care about the players. If you didn't play till now just stop because is very addictive. They know how to take your money.

Great game! To you guys who think this is a p2w game it's actually not , this game is pay to get more stuff . you don't get to win but if you pay, you get more, for example ,AFk more ,carry more and other else . Also, they get money from that situation since this game is free...so don't hate this game so much although this type of element really not balance at all. I hope the developer can lower the gap ☺️????

The phantasma are useless .. it's like the same as old. You revamp that character but then you suddenly take back to the old version. Phantasma users has more expectations to that character. It is useless when it comes to pvp. Slow casting .. it's better to put back the stealth skill .. at least there's a chance winning in pvp arena.

Hands down the best character creation and graphic. I'm not really a fan of these game styles, but I just go and create characters for fun, since the graphics are so beautiful! I just wish it had more hair and clothing options but... it's an open world game not simulation so I don't expect more lol

Game is best looking for a mobile game. It has the best combat mechanics and a lot of contents every week. RNG is bad most of the time though. But, you receive what RNG gives. Wish it can be enhanced by the devs though.

App crashing on Samsung Galaxy S20 FE: I love the game and the graphics and framrate are top notch, but I am getting frequent crashes (u003e2-3 per hour of use). I haven't lost any progress but it is a definite impediment to gameplay.

Only thing I hate in this game is how PvP is done I always match up with players who have pay thier way to upgrade thier character.. They literally use one skill and more than half of my hp is gone always match up high lvl player who are 20 lvl ahead of me.. there is no skill required only max character required to win pvp.. and second thing I hate how slow progress is to power up thier character I can't even finish the main story. I really wanna give 1 star to this game because of Pvp

Couldn't get the game to connect at first, Finally got to play and the game is great but generic. Much like ALL other mmo's. However my review keeps getting deleted by the developer so ill keep it going at 1 star u003d)

I would've given this game 5 star,but the problem is that everytime I try to play the game it is always blurry even though it's on max settings, I hope there's a way to fix this.

The game is good, but it's not very "friendly" for returning players. I think there should be a recap of story events (like in 'The Witcher III: Wild Hunt') or something else like that, so I don't have to feel so lost. Also, I think the UI and menus are a bit too complex and may need compression or a redesign, because I was very lost for the first few days after reinstalling. (It took maybe 6 hours of playtime to relearn everything) Otherwise, great graphics u0026 performance; good for chill gaming.

Was great until yall took away our ability to change our characters' appearances as many times as we pleased. I think we should be able to change their appearance and name for free and as many times as we want, or at least be given the option to spend 200 black pearls again if you want us to earn it. If this is done, I'll change my review and start playing again. But until the experience will be lackluster and limiting.

Very impressed. I started yesterday and I'm so happy with it. It doesn't chow battery life, despite the high graphics. I don't even have it on the highest quality, but it still looks great. I wish the Progression Characters could be explained a bit better, and that we had better customisation for controls, though. I'm really happy with the gameplay, the story is interesting and the in-depth customisation is satisfying.
noname561656, the 11/09/2025
________________________________________________
It's a cool game, althought i wish it would run at 60 fps...also the controls are a bit tedious sometimes,buttons are just too small and the focus on enemy can be a good thing but most of the time (especially when you exit battle to run) is annoying... Also also the prices for the premium content in this game is freaking high, like very very high for a mobile game (and i've seen my fair share of in-app purchase content)... Otherwise it's a cool game even for those who don't appreciate rpgs.

As soon as you log in for the first time you are bombarded with waaaaay too much information, notifications, and just....everything. Like so many other mobiles based on MMOs this one throws everything at you all at once and expects you to have the time or patience to decipher it all. I want to play a game, not do a week of research just to know how to play. Stagger stuff out ffs! People tend to lose interest when their first introduction to the game is numerous walls of text with no preamble.

Probably the best game on the store at the moment. A lot of features, impressive fights (pvp, bosses, world bosses). Requires a big investment of your time in the game to grind, this is very good since it's what we are waiting for in a MMORPG! I only complain about one thing: please put the accessories purchases in Silver, like in the korean version, and not in Black Pearl which is kinda sad. 4 stars out of 5 instead of 5/5 because of that detail.

I can't get pass the customization screen. It won't let me input my name, even after I type in the game; the name bar remains empty and when I press confirm it says "character name too short". I even switched devices but it does the same thing. Please fix this. Game looks really fun and I'd like to try it out.

Beautiful game hindered by the awful progression and extreme luck required to enchant or awaken items past a certain point. Graphics are amazing, the game runs smoothly and it doesn't even chew through your battery unlike other mobile games, but the progression is terrible. The amount of luck required is absurd and the order of the story and side stories is confusing at best. The grind required for upgrading gear is simply insane, requiring maybe WEEKS to advance a single level.

I rarely give ratings but for bdm i almost have to. I tried out several mobile/cross mmos, bdm is my favourite. Graphics, Gameplay, Story, Content-top. The most recent update brought an amazing new class and lots of improvements across the game. Players are asked and heard. Regarding p2w: It is. But you dont get brutalized like in many other games. You dont have to pay,you progress without as well. Small strategic buys can pay off a lot. If you pay or not, you get a well rounded game in return.

I prefer everything that was there before the update, it seems like the control buttons, theme song, and as a note the update is now less comfortable, just bring back the skill 8 button and basic attack below, and now the server is very heavy, I always lose connection in the middle of the game... its very disappointing

hey just wanted to say this is a great game I have been play for more than a year now. but the night event are a bit hard to participate in considering most of the events are happening at midnight and and I've been trying to do the treasure quest however I have no way to keep track of them can that be looked into or is there any way that I might not have noticed that I could I don't turn something on so I can see if I fought enough creatures at low health that acquire.

I summary my 1month playing this game: *really bad tutorials, you must guess where is everything it is mentioning.didn't help me at all. *too many of everything. thousands of things you can enhance, enchant, upgrade.it's really confusing. *endless enemies: when you clear a camp, enemies will keep respawning instantly and unlimitedly.no closure.that's bad. *too many enemies to kill in every quest.kill 5000 enemies for 2scrolls worth a candy. *big map.lovely graphics. *had lot to say,limited space

I came back to this game after almost a year because i missed it, only to find that facebook linking has been removed. Now, since they gave limited time to transfer our progress to other accounts and i was taking a break during that time, all my saved progress is now gone and now i have to start from scratch again (would rather uninstall forever this time). This is truly disappointing considering the amount of time i spent grinding on my account. Pearl Abyss, a little help would be appreciated.

very impressed with the graphics, the play style, and the combat styles of the game. Haven't gotten far enough to enjoy or get into the story yet. Don't know how to feel about the game TBH because it keeps crashing on me and closing the game out. My phone meets the requirements, has all its updates, the game has downloaded all its data, and it still crashes and closes the game out me when I get into the game. It let me create a character, catch a fish, and earn a achievement then the game crash.

It's a great game, only issue is it keeps crashing. I have plenty of space on my phone, plenty of RAM and yet it just keeps crashing. UPD: ...still crashing, even worse now after this update. Lags so much I can't even play for a second, i log in, pick my character, load into the game and a second later it lags and crashes. Wrote a review over a year ago about it, no response, no advice on how to get it to actually run and stay running.

screen/ui too crowded, too many windows to check for rewards, why rewards not integrated into the game as quests or drops rathers than windows, too much text when you start the game, stamina system is the worst thing happened in video games you either let me play the game or not, when i started the game i was lost and had so many questions like what seasoned character or can i make normal character? its not stright forward.

BDM to me is the definitive mobile MMO experience. Sips battery, doesn't overheat my phone, and looks fabulous! I came back after awhile and they've added so much.

As a returning player...I can confidently say this is not a f2p game nor able to catch-up with even half of the veteran players in tha game...the grind will take years to get up to latest update but by than more contents will be released and you will never able to catch up..probably the reason for declining player's count
