The story in this game has received mixed reviews, with many players finding it generic and uninspired, often characterized by typical MMORPG tropes such as "kill x" or "fetch y" quests. While some appreciate the engaging quest structure and world-building, others criticize the lack of voice acting and the repetitive nature of the quests, leading to a sense of grind. Overall, the narrative is seen as a backdrop to the gameplay rather than a compelling reason to play, with many players opting to skip dialogue and cutscenes.

- “The plot and content are relatively complete and can give people a sense of enthusiasm for fighting.”
- “I love the storyline, the quests, the overall flow and mechanics of the game, the scenery is fantastic, and the character movement is very fluid and responsive.”

The gameplay of the game has received mixed reviews, with players appreciating its engaging combat mechanics and graphics, but criticizing its grindy nature and pay-to-win elements. Many find the combat system enjoyable, likening it to action-oriented games, while others point out issues with clunky mechanics, repetitive quests, and a lack of innovation compared to other MMOs. Overall, the game offers a decent experience, especially when played with friends, but suffers from design flaws and monetization strategies that detract from the enjoyment.
- “The combat system is also decent, with its action-oriented mechanics requiring dodges and timing rather than the usual 'press 1-2-3' routine.”
- “The gameplay is fun and engaging.”
- “The bosses have actual mechanics we have to avoid, and since they scale with the number of players and to player level, they can kill anyone easily, which means we have to be on our guard all the time.”
- “The gameplay is just another tab-target WoW clone that we've seen a thousand times over at this point with no drive for innovation.”
- “The gameplay started feeling repetitive, and it eventually led me to lose interest in the game.”

The grinding aspect of the game is a major point of contention among players, with many describing it as excessively tedious and repetitive, especially in the late game where leveling becomes a chore. While some players enjoy the grind and find it rewarding, particularly when playing with friends, others feel that the game heavily leans towards a pay-to-win model, making the grinding experience feel even more burdensome. Overall, the game is characterized by a significant amount of grinding, which can be enjoyable for those who appreciate that style of gameplay, but may deter players looking for a more balanced experience.
- “Crafting is interesting - it consists mostly of gathering rare materials from bosses and mini-bosses, not farming nodes of resources (there is some of that too, though).”
- “Quests are not too grindy.”
- “Not grinding solo like a loner in BDO, lmao.”
- “The grinding after level 30 is pretty outrageous.”
- “Overall, after 10 hours of play, I reached level 11 and decided I don't need this kind of game; it just can't hold my attention. So many grinding tasks, so many things to pay attention to, and then it keeps repeating.”
- “The end game is extremely grindy, punishing, and disrespects your time.”

The game's optimization has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with many players reporting significant performance issues, including low frame rates, stuttering, and crashes, even on high-end systems.

Overall, players express frustration with the game's performance, suggesting that substantial optimization work is still needed.
- “The performance from the engine in boss fights with a lot of players is very, very good also.”
- “Game also has good graphics, nice environment mapping and seems rather optimized.”
- “Currently I'm playing my game on 2k resolution using a Gigabyte Aorus RTX 3070 at very high graphics and it runs smoothly at 60fps.”
- “Combine that with performance hiccups, random crashes, and inconsistent servers, and you’ve got a recipe for frustration.”
- “The optimization in this game is abysmal.”
- “This game is so poorly optimized that it crashes the first 5 seconds after launching it.”

The monetization model of Bless Unleashed has been widely criticized as aggressive and predatory, with many players labeling it a "cash grab." While some users note that in-game purchases are not strictly necessary to enjoy the game, the prevalence of microtransactions, pay-to-win elements, and the presence of bots advertising real-money transactions have left a negative impression. Overall, the game's monetization practices are seen as a significant detractor from the overall experience, overshadowing its potential.
- “Yes, the in-game purchases are very tempting, but they're not necessary to enjoy this game.”
- “If you think about it, the monetization model of Bless Unleashed is very fair, as purely free-to-play players can acquire everything you can buy with real money on the market with in-game money.”
- “Monetization is done well, without it feeling predatory: you have access to lots of cosmetics, good mounts, and stuff that's sadly often hidden behind a paywall in other games.”
- “It has potential, sure, but it’s buried under a pile of grind, monetization, and questionable design choices.”
- “A lot of potential wasted, crappy monetization like a mobile game.”
- “Overall a major pay to win, cash grab; I tell you what, MMOs/games have surely gone downhill these days, all about greed and fooling gamers into purchasing junk, pure junk anymore.”

The game's stability has received mixed reviews, with many players reporting frequent bugs, glitches, and crashes that significantly hinder gameplay. While some users noted that the game runs smoothly on certain systems, others experienced severe issues such as freezing during loading screens and character creation. Overall, the consensus suggests that the game is plagued by stability problems, making it frustrating for many players despite its potential and enjoyable elements.
- “The game has amazing graphics and is not too buggy.”
- “Game runs great on an i7 and 1070, pinned at 60fps even in combat once I lowered one setting to medium - the lighting one with a weird name I can't remember at the moment.”
- “The game runs great on my ancient i5 and used eBay GTX 1060.”
- “Game is not that open world, to advance and open new areas you have to follow a quest line. They patched the game and now I cannot even log into the game; it freezes at one of five screens just to get in, and if by miracle you do load in, take five steps and it freezes for five minutes, then eventually crashes to desktop with no error messages.”
- “The game is buggy to no end. The UI is so atrocious I don't know where to begin (think vanilla Skyrim with no mods, but worse). The story is so badly written I was thinking a four-year-old had just button-mashed. The constant facing in and out makes you lose track of your friends if you decide to play together. The combat is a hot mess with unexplained mouse-button-mashing, and the actual attacks are hidden down in the corner of the screen, which makes it really hard to keep track of cooldowns or what abilities you even have.”
- “Every five minutes the game freezes or crashes. It's unplayable; it freezes on low or high settings, and there has been no patch for several days. Not worth playing right now.”

The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with many players finding it uninspired and repetitive, often comparing it unfavorably to soundtracks from other titles like "Bless Online" and "Final Fantasy XIV." While some appreciate the calming and engaging aspects of the music, others criticize the audio quality and the mismatch of music during cutscenes. Overall, the consensus suggests that while the music exists and has its moments, it lacks the depth and polish expected from a modern game soundtrack.
- “The soundtrack is pretty well done.”
- “Calming music in towns, engaging music during combat!”
- “I was really surprised by how good the music in the game is.”
- “The music is uninspired, the sound effects are terrible, and the voices are just bad.”
- “This is the kind of game where you'll want to find a 1~10 hour track of your favorite song on YouTube, and play that on repeat throughout the boring grind, because this game's soundtrack is an absolute snoozer-- nothing like Mabinogi, or especially Final Fantasy XIV.”
- “Some cut scenes play music that doesn't even fit the scene, like loud EDM music during a conversation about assassinating a character.”

Players find joy in the game's self-aware humor, making it a memorable part of their gaming experience.
- “The game doesn't take itself too seriously, which leads to some hilarious moments like the Carzacor guard telling you not to pay attention because they all look the same, as it will break immersion.”
- “Some quests are just hilarious, like the one involving Bambi (yes... Bambi), the three musketeers, or the guy that is always hiding from monsters.”
- “Bard and the bird mage woman are funny characters, and for me, they were the only interesting side-stories.”

- “The attempts at humor feel forced and often fall flat, leaving me more confused than amused.”
- “I expected some clever jokes, but instead, the humor is stale and predictable.”

The emotional aspect of the game is largely criticized for its repetitive and uninspired storyline, which detracts from player engagement and investment. While some players may find moments of emotional depth, the overall experience is marred by a lack of originality and a feeling of disconnection, leading many to feel that the developers do not prioritize meaningful content. Consequently, those who seek a deeper emotional connection may want to avoid this game, as it risks feeling hollow and transient.
- “So just playing this game made me feel that the devs care about their product.”
- “Some are heart-wrenching, some are uplifting, some very dark and borderline disturbing.”
- “That being said, if you do not sink your soul into the game, you can have a lot of fun playing this game, but if you are one of those people who emotionally invest in a game, I suggest you stay clear, because it is likely to disappear in a year or two.”
- “This means that for every character you choose to make, you'll have to repeat that boring story mode over and over and do the same side quests.”
- “Boring storyline with your typical chosen one narrative.”
- “Boring story with a limited item selection and slow pacing.”

Character development in the game receives mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the variety and engagement it offers, while others criticize its complexity and lack of depth. While the character design is generally praised, the overall experience is marred by issues such as poor optimization and a confusing user interface. Overall, the game provides a decent rate of character progression, but it may not meet the expectations of players seeking a more robust development system.
- “The combat is engaging, character development is at a decent rate, dungeons are fun as are the arena encounters, overall there's a good amount of things to do and it doesn't feel like a mobile game.”
- “As for the character development, there is a lot to track and many options to keep things varied but it does take a good bit of time to understand what's going on.”
- “I liked the idea of this game, I liked the action base, I liked the character design, I enjoyed what little of the story I got to play, it didn't feel sluggish, it was nice.”
- “For these clowns, an MMORPG is just running around bashing something and mashing a console controller - no economy, no functional guild life, no other activities (fishing is a bad joke), no crafting, no character development... incredible.”
- “As for the character development, there is a lot to track and many options to keep things varied, but it does take a good bit of time to understand what's going on.”
- “- awful character design.”
replayability

Players note that while the game offers good graphics and a decent story, its replayability is somewhat limited due to a lack of playable classes and races. However, the scaling endgame content provides some incentive for players to return, and many see potential for improvement in future updates. Overall, the game shows promise for increased replayability if enhancements are made.
- “Replayability: you might find yourself playing it for some time.”
- “It still has room for improvement, but compared to the previous 'Bless Online', this version seems way more playable and active.”
- “The story isn't terrible, and since some of the endgame content scales, it makes for some replayability.”
- “There could be a couple more classes (necromancer, druid, monk, hunter, shadow knight, cleric) or a couple more playable races (dark elf, frog). I don't really think this is a big deal, but whatever.”
- “So thumbs up for a ton of potential, and I will be back a year from now when the game is fixed and ready to be played in a more playable state!”
