Dauntless is an online action RPG that aims to combine elements from Monster Hunter World, Dark Souls, and WoW. Our author Leya will take a look at Dauntless today at 6:00 PM in the stream and provide a live gameplay report.
In Dauntless, everything revolves around hunting monsters known as “Behemoths.” These are creatures that feed on a magical substance called Aether. The Aether is what allows the home of the people to exist, as they live on floating islands. If the Behemoths consume too much Aether, the islands and the people will fall.
To prevent this, you take on the role of a “Slayer” and take down the monsters. You can form a group of up to 4 players or hunt alone.
Thus, Dauntless is quite similar to the “Monster Hunter” franchise. In this franchise, you also engage in epic monster battles with up to 4 players. The monster fights are structured like boss encounters in an MMORPG. They consist of different phases and can take a long time.
I myself am a fan of the “Monster Hunter” franchise and can hardly wait for the new installment “World” to be released. Monster Hunter World, however, will not be released until January 2018. That’s why I decided to take a look at Dauntless early and invite you to join me in the stream starting at 6:00 PM.
Dauntless will appear as a free-to-play title in open beta at the beginning of next year. However, you can already sign up for the closed beta on the official Dauntless website or purchase access with one of the Founders Packs.
Let’s take a look at Dauntless together and go on a Behemoth hunt!
