-The Enemy!
The Behemoths are just one of the unique qualities of this game. The Behemoths are all different in several ways while maintaining similarity. Behemoths will share similar looks without being exact visual copies of each other,
as well although only having three different elemental effects each enemy has unique abilities and characteristics found in no other Behemoth. Mechanically these enemies fit perfectly into the game,
with the perfect combination of agitating and intense attacks from every enemy, you will find yourself on the edge of your seat for the whole fight just to end with either your hair ripped out or wicked good loot.
-The Intense Combat
The combat is hard to describe as in order to fully understand the level of depth in each fight you just have to play the game! The combat is filled with simple moves and combos but watch as all your practice is put under immense pressure as no practice can prepare for the battles you will faces.
Timing plays a heavy importance in this game as no one can just one shot a Behemoth, each battle is an adventure of it's own as you try to memorize the attacks, behavior, and abilities of each enemy. With each Behemoth a different necessity of dodging is needed whether it be dodging projectiles
or a charging enemy be prepared to be put under the most extreme intensity as you make that life saving last second dodge. With each enemy being a average 15 minute adventure make sure to combine your skills with your companions as each player must be willing to risk it all to achieve success.
-The Slayer
Embark on a epic journey as your fully customizable slayer. Each player is allowed is prompet to customize their character at the start of the game allowing the player to choose such things as ancestry, hair, and even tatoos.
After the customization use the story line as a way to motivate yourself to push through ever challenge and reap the benefits, through all the Behemoths the Slayer is awarded with parts broken off from the enemies and collected during combat.
These parts are used for various different types of armor, weapons, and lanterns. After killing a Behemoth find yourself sorting through your weapons and armor just trying to prepare for the challenge ahead.
-The Armory
The game play in Dauntless does not depend on how your character is customized, instead the weapons and armor you equip will change the way you play the game. Every weapon presents a new play style, as of now there is only five different weapons,
however each weapon provides an immensely different game play experience for gamers while still balancing the strengths of each with their own weaknesses. Use the blades if you prefer up close and quick attacks filled with fast dodging but little damage,
use the hammer if you enjoy heavy crushing attacks with simple combos but long attacks, use the axe for a even stronger and heavier attack with a longer time for each attack, use the war pike if you love those close calls and quick attacks but smaller amounts of damage,
and last but not least use the sword for a nice middle play between all the weapons more favored towards intermediate amounts of damage and pretty short attacks. Accompanying the weapons is the armor. The armor is relatively simple with each
armor set dedicated towards individual Behemoths and along with having a overall protection rating most armor pieces have passive effects such as increases of max health and stamina. However the armor is also the main concern cosmetically for many players.
Some will even sacrifice better armor for better looks!
Yeah! Got the game downloaded, super excited to try it out. I think it would do well in TAW.
