![]() ![]() Speaking of, after dozens of hours spent hunting Behemoths, we’ve yet to spend a single penny in Dauntless. Phoenix Labs took a bold leap with Dauntless Reforged, breaking the game down and cleverly rearranging the pieces into a much stronger free-to-play experience. These are larger worlds in which Behemoths, resources, and events continually pop up, keeping you engaged instead of sandwiching gameplay between lobby and loading screens. ![]() Certain endgame modes follow this same formula, though your main way of playing Dauntless is by dropping into various Hunting Grounds. Previously, each Behemoth encounter was self-contained with Slayers queuing to join, then disbanding at the end of a fight. ![]() Since last year’s Reforged update there’s been a bigger emphasis on exploration. Although easy to pick up, the combat gameplay is skill-based and will punish those who mindlessly button bash instead of knowing when to attack and when to evade. Then there are the Behemoths themselves – Dauntless boasts a growing bestiary of creatures to hunt, all with unique movesets and strategies. Gameplay is fast-paced and at first glance Dauntless may appear like a mindless hack n’ slash RPG, yet there’s a level of complexity to be mined from juggling its seven weapon types and the aforementioned character customisation. At the same time, advanced systems and mechanics are thrown into the mix, making character progression even more engrossing.ĭauntless is heavily combat-focused. Dauntless is a very accessible action RPG that gradually ramps up in difficulty as you encounter tougher Behemoths. Perhaps its biggest strength is just how straightforward the core game is. Each weapon and piece of armour has its own unique stats, traits, and slots in which you place Cells to augment your gear even further. The sheer number of customisation options available can be a little overwhelming at first, though Dauntless does a good job of easing newcomers in. ![]()
