![]() ![]() There are four element types that enemies have (fire, frost, earth, storm) and so you’ll want the armour that best protects against their attacks and a weapon that is crafted to do maximum damage. Initially, you and your internet helpers will take these beasts down pretty easily but eventually the difference between success and failure comes down to learning how each monster moves and attacks, as well as upgrading your loadout to best prepare you for the battles. You also have a helpful dodge move which you’ll need to master and special attacks that are based on the type of weapon you use. You then spend up to twenty minutes smacking it upside its body until parts of it fall off and then it eventually dies.ĭuring combat you can use light and heavy attacks, and these can be comboed, as well as special items such as grenades and potions. Like that game, you and your squad head out into a smallish area and seek out whatever monster lives there. When you do get out into the action, Dauntless plays, as I said, like a Monster Hunter type of game or, to reference something I did play a lot, Toukiden. This tutorial barely scratches the surface of the game mechanics though and when you get into the game’s Destiny-style hub area, you are woefully underprepared for anything. After a thin bit of plot and an unimpressive cutscene, you are dropped into a short tutorial which teaches you the basics about movement and combat. My introduction to the game wasn’t great. It wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows though. When a F2P game comes in for review you guarantee that none of the team here at PlayStation Country will want any part of it and for me to review it as someone who didn’t play Monster Hunter, doesn’t like Fortnite and gets confused and angry like an old man at F2P currency systems means that something has gone wrong but, weirdly, Dauntless has killed off my recent gaming funk and is something that I’m looking forward to getting back onto this evening. Stay tuned to for more details as we approach launch.Octoin PS4 tagged co-op / dauntless / f2p / free to play / monster hunter / online / toukiden by Richieĭauntless is a free-to-play action game from Vancouver-based coders Phoenix Labs and is best described as a F2P Monster Hunter clone that uses Fortnite’s visual stylings. ![]() On PlayStation 5, there’s a whole new set of Trophies to unlock, including a Platinum.Īlso arriving in the Shattered Isles as part of the “Call to Arms”update is the razor-sharp new Behemoth, Sahvyt, a gameplay refresh for our Chain Blades weapon, the new Krolachi Warlords Hunt Pass, new quests and challenges, and a host of other additions and improvements. To celebrate everything we’ve added to Dauntless since our initial PS4 release two years ago, the “Call to Arms” update launching December 2 adds 36 new Trophies for you to collect in the PlayStation 4 version of the game. You can also jump between the two and play with your friends with cross-play and cross-save. If you’ve already been playing Dauntless on PS4, you’ll be able to pick up your progress automatically on the PS5 version. Together with the PS5’s SSD, load times have been significantly reduced, getting you into the hunt faster than ever. You’ll also be able to use the microphone built into the DualSense to chat with your party and we’ve added support for immersive 3D Audio. You’ll feel your character’s stamina and empowered Repeater ammo through trigger resistance, hear radio callouts through the speaker, and see applied elemental effects in the lights. Of course, we couldn’t come to PS5 without supporting the DualSense controller. The Shattered Isles have never looked so good! We’ve also got higher-quality lighting and materials, new volumetric fog, and improved visual effects across the game. In addition to dynamic 4K resolution targeting 60 frames-per-second, there are enhanced environmental textures and detail across all our islands, including upgraded trees, grass, and water. With the native PS5 version of Dauntless, we’ve taken the opportunity to upgrade visuals across the game. ![]()
