According to IGN, Crimson Desert launched with strong Steam numbers, peaking at over 239,000 concurrent players, but currently holds a “mixed” user rating. Many complaints focus on unintuitive and inconsistent controls, especially outside of combat.
Some players report awkward movement, confusing button interactions, and frustrating mechanics like overlapping jump and action inputs. In response, a Pearl Abyss executive said the controls “come naturally” once learned, comparing them to riding a bike.
The backlash has also spilled over to Reddit and social media, where players are sharing memes about clunky, overcomplicated button combinations and joking that they thought their controllers were broken.
The developer is expected to address feedback as criticism continues to grow.
Do you think players should adapt to complex controls, or should developers simplify them?
