Destiny: Rising is a free-to-play mobile sci-fi RPG shooter from NetEase, licensed by Bungie. Set in an alternate timeline years after the Collapse, players explore the dawn of a new age for humanity. Unlike previous titles, you play as a diverse cast of 'Lightbearers,' each with unique backstories and abilities. Featuring both first-person and third-person perspectives, the game offers a mix of challenging PvE missions, massive raids, and competitive PvP, all while uncovering the mysteries of the Traveler.

Dinsun Expert Review

Our Expert Score

88/100

Destiny: Rising is a breath of fresh air for fans of the franchise who wanted a more accessible way to explore the lore of the Dark Age. The shift to a hero-based system is a bold move that pays off, making each character feel distinct and meaningful. The combat is punchy, and the visual fidelity is genuinely impressive for a mobile title.

The cooperative play feels seamless, and the shared world elements stay true to the 'hobby' feel of the original series. While the transition from a single custom Guardian to a roster of heroes might be jarring for some veterans, the narrative depth provided by these specific characters makes the world of post-Collapse Earth feel more lived-in and urgent.

BEST GAME ON MOBILE
Thu Sep 18 2025 Slitheringbee

Game is awesome I know most people were here since launch day as I I’m not too happy about max server level but I kinda understand since apparently max level is 80 I think and most of us are level 50 so as regarding gauntlet its insanely hard and by the time I wrote this it just unlocked so idk how am I gonna get an exotic for wolf because there’s very little variety of weapons like I mean you can only choose 4 weapons for wolf and they are all auto rifle but other than that I love the shift gates and the storyline just hope it gets easier to get an exotic also PvP is so good with double jump and I play on mobile 11th gen I cook pc players gear helps a lot and character skills too I use wolf as my main and haven’t lost neither PvP nor PvE wolf is the best character in the game go wolf 😎 and I do shift gates I’m 149# currently USA Florida 15# currently btw thx so much for this game I love bit I’m f2p it’s cause I’m not old enough to spend money but if I could I definitely would I’m a teenager so I like the chat idea but um about packs what is the purpose I can’t see that there’s a pack ranking. Like highest ranking pack but I understand its new and if no one minds me saying this destiny rising if not the best mobile shooter slash game story and lore is the best App Store has witnessed in years and I mean years I’ve scoured the AppStore and all I see is COD. And other random games Btw so toxic don’t play play this with a nice community and this game deserves so many reviews many

Destiny rising
Sun Sep 07 2025 SupercoolLloyd

I am an old school call of duty player. When I was in high school and college it was what we did in our off time. Nothing will compare to my first nuke. Fast forward when I got a little older and my first real job out of college and Destiny released. Was. A little skeptical at first, but like most I ended up buying it and MAN was that like nothing else I had even played before. First person shooter but also WoW like to grind levels and get gear. Anyway fast forward and D2 drops. But older now and frankly that first raid did not cut it. I played on and off for a bit but haven’t played since the vault of glass remake. Then I saw randomly in the App Store this game was going to be launching soon. I thought there was no way and this was going to be one of those cheesy games you get ads for but I was very wrong. It is amazing that they made this as a mobile game. I can get on iPad when I have a few minutes or laying in bed. Definitely scratches the itch a bit. The campaign was good. Characters and cool and activities are pretty cool. Overall really enjoying this game. Is it D1? Of course not but think it does a lot of things better than D2. Would recommend to any destiny player to give it a whirl.

A mobile game has no business being this good

So, I can really go into a spiral about how great this universe is. Even with Destiny Rising being set in a different timeline… this captures the essence of Destiny. Yes, it’s a gatcha game and you will be incentivized to spend money. However, you’re going to end up spending equally - if not more money - on Destiny 2 content that will depreciate or become irrelevant. I highly recommend spending a small amount of cash to get the ball rolling on upgrades and mythic characters and by reallocating money spent from Destiny 2 (which is like 40$ every 6 months) you can obtain very strong characters with abilities never before seen in the Destiny 2 universe. This game has been out for possibly close to a month at this point and it has a similar amount of melee abilities and supers than Destiny 2 and the other is 11 years old. All but two have their own unique style exclusive to Destiny Rising. Lore wise, we meet characters that we’ve heard of in grimore cards from way back in 2014. Kabr has been known of since the Vault of Glass but his first apperence is in this game. We have some crazy potential in this timeline to make the best Destiny story. Please keep this universe alive, and let it thrive. To any of the story tellers for this game - please buy out rights to this IP. Make a movie on it. My memories of this game live within myself. I crave for a way to share that. 11 years of just playing expansions within this game.

Bring back the old ways of destiny
Fri Sep 05 2025 SKULLKING69$

I miss back in the day back in the day when they was only destiny one and two and we need to put our character Together like a reasonable person, not a puzzle one that we have to define and figure out. I miss the days when I could just put a gun on the character. And that was that now this thing has to stick with that character. That gun doesn’t go with that character and etc. etc. my huckleberry doesn’t go with anything. Except some puffy elf guy who looks like he’s more from the Lord of the rings than he is from destiny That being said I just wanna equip my guns to whoever I want and be able to afford that gothic character. I really we only have to pick three characters to maintain not however, many we have. What is it like eight. I’ve lost count, but the point still stands wouldn’t too many characters means that you won’t focus on any of them. Too many chefs, spoiled the stew or so saying go’s here’s another one he chases too many rabbits is getting none them for dinner or something like that basically let us choose our characters and the ones we wanna be responsible for like three or four not like eight or maybe just one or two and that’s all I have signing off sincerely Patrick Lemieux

We need a way to give feedback
Sun Aug 31 2025 Improof

I’ve only been playing for a couple hours and I’ve already spotted some problems, but I don’t have an effective way to report them. I don’t really use forums, nor do I use Reddit at all. Regardless of those choices, the Destiny Rising page doesn’t seem to have any place for user support. If it does, it’s really hard to find. I have some solid suggestions and grievances to share. I don’t think this review page is the best place to share them, and I don’t want to write a new review every time I have a problem. Please make it easier to give feedback. In case anyone is reading my feedback here, you can sprint during reload to skip some of the reload time (in case you think it’s not a bug, Bungie has prevented this exploit in Destiny 2), the sparrow speed up charges too slow (pointless since players can bypass the charge by getting off and back on their sparrow), and the clown cartridge perk doesn’t work well with pulse rifles (reloading doesn’t always give you a multiple of three, weakening the last burst of the magazine). There’s still more I haven’t mentioned, hence why I’d like a proper support page.

Storytelling is in the game!
Thu Sep 04 2025 Aethelnodt

Destiny: Rising has been a surprisingly strong experience so far. The mix of familiar Destiny universe elements with fresh storytelling has kept me engaged—especially the inclusion of deeper lore like the Ahamkara and how their presence still carries weight and consequence. I’ve also appreciated the attention given to side characters and world-building details, like Eliksni traditions and punishments, which make the universe feel more alive. Gameplay has been smooth and polished, and I’ve noticed the team putting care into balance and pacing. I particularly enjoy how character arcs unfold naturally within the missions, instead of feeling bolted on. The game manages to feel new while respecting what came before, which is no small feat. Overall, it feels like the team is investing in both storytelling and gameplay systems equally, which keeps me excited to log in. I’m looking forward to seeing how they continue to expand the world and what new twists they introduce next.

Destiny has had plenty of ups and downs. Waiting for a game that might never happen (Destiny 3) and come to find out a new Destiny game was coming out on mobile only…..(You can Emulate on PC and it runs perfectly.) I was disappointed at first from the news. However you can’t complain with FREE. So I downloaded it. THERE IS NO MOBILE GAME OF THIS CALIBER. The controls are easy and smooth. I would like to customize the layout more specifically but the basic controls are just fine. From the Story Quests to the Online Multiplayer experience, you will find yourself hours into this game, itching to complete the next quest. I haven’t been hooked into Destiny for a long time and this game was surprisingly fun. It keeps its original Destiny charm with its own twist. So many activities that the Original Destiny games don’t have. I would say there might even be double or triple the amount of entertainment and new things to do from the originals. Sparrow Racing! Fishing! Card game is kinda lame ngl. And much more! Give it a try bro, it’s free! Cons tho, Weapon locking is what it is. With in time i’m sure more characters with more weapon variants will come to create more diversity and help cater to certain players styles. Just gotta be patient. I was a little annoyed with the lack of weapon variety. I have quite a few hours in and i’m using the same 2 guns for %90 of the campaign. Kinda got stale looking at the same thing for hours. Some more weapons would be nice. Overall great experience nonetheless. 9/10

Destiny Rising Review
Fri Sep 05 2025 HolyMan07

Destiny 1 was one of my favorite games from childhood. I wish I had. Destiny Rising brings back the nostalgic feeling. I do think there is too much going on in terms of different modes and materials. Too much on the screen. You guys should simplify it a little bit. I also dislike mobile shooters a little bit because I play with my thumbs and sometimes I press a button and it doesn’t work. It’s frustrating trying to tap on tiny buttons. I wish the action buttons like shooting, jumping, punching etc were easier to press and not press when just trying to move the camera. You guys don’t have to do too much. Destiny on mobile is pretty cool. Graphics and locations look good. Weapons feel good. The game so far seems like a success. This is my third day playing. Don’t let people who pay money get way ahead of casual poorer players. Best part of destiny is high level team missions, pvp, and exclusive loot. Don’t have us grinding for hours. Skill over time played. That’s all. God bless you.
