Dauntless Interest Blog

Vanguard is currently gauging interest in the Free to Play Action RPG Dauntless, developed by Phoenix Labs and published by Epic Games. Epic Games are the creators and masterminds of titles like Fortnite and the Gears of War series which was my go-to back in my console days. The top selling points for this game are that it is free to play, it looks good, and it's cross platform meaning you can play it with all of your buddies, regardless of the platform you are playing it on.

If I had to give the game a very rough description I would describe it as Monster Hunter meets Fortnite graphics. I personally have never gotten into Monster Hunter, it carries a heavy price tag and seems very.... grindy to me. However I have to say the thought of playing this, for free, to get the same elements as Monster Hunter, is oddly alluring.

The name of the game is to hunt monsters for epic loot. Depending upon how you kill monsters you get components to craft gear with, the better the gear, the more epic monsters you can hunt. This of course continues and the sky is the limit. From videos I've watched the game looks really good, aesthetically. Character movement and that of the monsters is quick and snappy and it is just visually pleasing.

I will probably be picking this one up myself to play in my downtime (Ha downtime, what's that?) and if you are interested in seeing this game come to TAW and want to help with that process please fill out an interest for by following this link here.
