Gameplay
Character development and field hunting are the mainstays of the gameplay in Black Desert Mobile. The main goal of the game is to strengthen characters by going through various content such as defeating World Bosses. A secondary entity called the “Black Spirit” acts as a unique in-game system that helps characters to clear quests, receive rewards, and level up characters.
Development
Black Desert Mobile has been acknowledged as a well-made mobile MMORPG since its release in February 2018. The game was first announced in 2016 where Pearl Abyss founder Dae-il Kim led the development.[4] Black Desert Mobile utilized the popular Black Desert IP and was successfully launched across the world. Developed with the company's own engine, Black Desert Mobile offers high-quality graphics and action systems to 150 countries in 11 languages.
The World
In Black Desert Mobile, two countries are looking for the Black Stones, which contain knowledge of an Ancient civilization. On one side is Calpheon, the country of capital and commerce, and the other is Valencia, a royal and conservative kingdom. Both sides attempt to strengthen an old, corrupt system while characters and major NPCs fight a war of independence. These characters interact with the Black Spirit and try to strengthen themselves through adventures. Black Stones exist in large quantities in the desert between Calpheon and Valencia. Calpheon refers to this land covered with Black Stones as the “Black Desert” and have begun a war to take over the resources there. Valencia calls this land the “Red Desert” to recognize the blood that have spilled due to this war.[5]
