New update jun 6 2025 shut down 3 X *2025-11-07, version 1.2.100* Keep shutting down on I pad *** I will not spend any money until the game works correctly *** another game that keeps shutting down 11 26 25 ### 1/5 — Ruined *2025-11-02, version 1.2.100* Play on Global server to the end of content and today open the game just to get an pop up says "The game is not available in your region". I can just use VPN, but that's not the point. Like this game have enough players, and here, blocking more users. Just look at PUBG New State, it's forgotten, just because of region locked. Clearly it's time to say goodbye. Ruined. ### 3/5 — Bugs *2025-10-31, version 1.2.100* Love the game but in the middle of everything it freezes and it’s annoying me ### 5/5 — Great Game *2025-10-30, version 1.2.100* Great Combat, game mechanics, and is optimized for slow end devices I like it! ### 1/5 — Japanese language speaking is better *2025-10-15, version 1.2.100* So much downloading and loading, made in China? ### 3/5 — Good game. needs work *2025-10-14, version 1.2.100* I’ve played since release but only recently got in after deleting a few months ago, the game freezes CONSTANTLY and i have to reset the whole app, it’s genuinely unplayable. the story and characters are 10/10, it just probably needed to be released later than it was, seeing how laggy and buggy it still is. ### 3/5 — Hi *2025-10-13, version 1.2.100* Stuck all time must reload. And no rewards. Second day nothing… is a great game but bored…. ### 5/5 — Boredom buster *2025-10-08, version 1.2.100* I have been playing this game since download and I found that it’s unique form other rpg/gacha games I’ve played it’s like I’m in a show With how good the story is people need to play this!! ### 5/5 — Amazing game! With some complaints ofc. *2025-10-06, version 1.2.100* This is one of many games that are my favorite. Just by starting, its friendly. Gives rewards like around 20 pulls (can’t remember) and has guarantee pity system within the pulling range. 1x free pull daily and has beautiful characters. Story and Fighting systems is amazing, but still laggy and hard to handle on my end. It did get better though. I remember that when I first downloaded it when it came out, it became almost impossible for my phone to handle a single fight/story (starting chapter). Energy-wise is too little so I can't play much (with deep sadness). Although my pre-reg account is gone now, my new account has become my new hope for this game. Buuuut I’m f2p so I won’t be supporting this game much financial wise. Happy to start anew and hope they’ll tone down the animation of the world cause my phone can’t handle such graphics. Also hope they’ll rise again to have many more players. Edit 1: Screw the gacha rates!!! The story is even better! Gosh my heart flutters every time the story is written so well. Enemies are smarter than us, while we are just smart to get by. Honestly, feels like odds are stacked against me in this story. I’m hoping there’s a good ending to this arc. Chapter 5 rn! Edit 2: I NEED MOOOOORRRRREEE ENERGGGGGYYYYYY!!!! Also, Chapter 6 and lvl 40!!! Had a bit of trouble with the boss from all that lag and kick outs so that stopped my progress. Only been a week and a few days. I’m progressing fast 🔥🔥🔥 ### 3/5 — Moderately interesting though the fixed position is frustrating. *2025-10-05, version 1.2.100* It’s somewhat like Genshin with much less flexibility and uninteresting combat mechanics. The story is original and interesting which adds to the rest if it is compelling enough to want to play for a while. ## Frequently asked questions about Black Beacon ### What kind of game is Black Beacon?
