Blade Bound: Immortal Darkness 12+

This is one awesome game. I’ve been looking for something on mobile comparable to a certain franchise currently only on PC. Took a chance on this game...and it’s awesome! There’s a great balance in gameplay from getting a quick fix to grinding out dungeons hardcore for hours. Autoplay is just as exciting as Activeplay. The tier up systems are reasonable. The game is very well balanced between achievable yet still fun goals and objectives. Seriously no regrets in downloading and playing this game. And I honestly think once that other franchise hits mobile...this game still gives them a run for their money. Awesome work shoutout to the developers of Bladebound!

Have loved this game for 6 months. The new update however ruins the dynamic entirely. Everything requires gold and gems and the update adding a limit of 3 Boss Fortress matches a day cripples gaining both. That is if you manage to get a full team. Due to the limited runs and limited players in each bracket it can take hours of waiting now to get 4 active players with fortress tickets remaining to get a single run in let alone multiple. In the old format it took months to get a full element set and months more to refine it and work on rolling the right stats. That was assuming you were lucky and played daily and did boss fortress 40+ times a day to have enough gold for the endless fusions and perk rolling required. Keeping the costs the same but limiting the rate gold is obtained to less than 1/10 is just stupid. I will continue playing a little longer in hopes that the limit is lifted or the costs of fusing, blessing, upgrading and perk rolling is radically slashed. If they leave the game as is the developers are just ensuring that veterans will want to quit for lack of gameplay and new players will take years to catch up to a player with a month or more of play behind them.

Did you find the title to this review incomplete? I promise you it’s more complete than this game is... there’s really no point in calling it a pay to win because you can’t win something that isn’t finished yet. What happens is you get drawn in by the stunning graphics and gameplay mechanics, you have a little bit of fun so you shell out some real money to level up and become strong enough to see the rest of the game...then when you click to advance to the next chapter in the game and test out your newly purchased might, you're met with a shadowed out screen that says coming soon. It’s been saying that for over a year. I contacted the company on FB and they assured me that new updates were fixing to roll out... since then several updates have come but literally the only thing that changed about the game was its icon picture... all its 4 hours of gameplay never changed a bit. The latest update won’t even load. It keeps freezing on first load screen! This has been the case for an entire year! No additional updates or content, just a chance to throw your $$ away.
