Not long now, and “Founders” will be able to experience the adventures in the “Monster Hunter”-like action RPG Dauntless in an initial alpha.
Dauntless has captured the attention of many players, as the gameplay mix of Monster Hunter, cooperative action RPG with a touch of Dark Souls and World of Warcraft seems to be well received. At least that was the case until last week; now, as Monster Hunter World comes to the West, the situation for Dauntless might change.
In Dauntless, you are called Slayers, setting out from the city of Ramsgate to defeat the Behemoths on the floating islands of the world, so that humanity can live in peace again. You assemble a team of up to four players and go on the hunt for the monsters.
Hunt the Behemoths!
If you defeat them, you will receive valuable resources, which you can craft into special equipment in the city, giving you better chances against the even more powerful Behemoths. Each monster also requires its own strategy to defeat. Teamwork is important, as the synergy of the different classes allows for unique tactics.
Become a Founder and join the Alpha
How exactly it plays out will be revealed starting August 18th. On that day, the Founder’s Alpha will begin. If you are a “Founder”, you can participate in this testing phase.
How do you become a Founder? By purchasing the largest founder’s package on the game’s official website. The alpha will not be subject to any NDA, and streamers are allowed to post videos of the game online. This means that we can expect a lot of information and gameplay material from the alpha starting August 18th. Later in the year, the beta phase of Dauntless is set to begin.
