    The game is very boring. It is way to repetitive.

    The game is fairly fun to play as there is a lot of thing you can unlock whilst playing considering how many behemoths there are and each one has weapons and armour based off of them.

The game is poorly optimised on console, the frame rate is low whilst in the social space however it does get better once in a hunt, i had problems when trying to hold A on things. I would hold A and then it just wouldn't do anything and it would take me several attempts for it to work. Also there was not any variation in behemoth attacks they would always do the same moves and after a while you could learn what they were going to do and the game got easier and easier to complete solo. I believe this is supposed to be a team game however if you are an advanced player then you can play every hunt solo as the behemoths get predictable and repetitive. Overall i believe this is a fun game for the first few hours however it gets very repetitive and boring so that is why i give it a 4/10.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game has potential in monster hunting genre, but lacks in delivery on so many aspects.

    In short, this game is too repetitive and unrewarding, but, it's free. It has potential though, give it enough time and polish, and maybe it'll get better.

    In details:

    Character customization is nice. No gender-locked classes, and so many options to customize.

    The game is built in the graphic style similar to Fortnite, but it seems lacking in performance optimization. Some users are struggling to get a stable 60 fps in the town. And in the actual hunt, the fps can spike to around 30-40 fps.

    This game is somewhat pretty, the town looks pretty, character design is good, armor and weapons look nice, but it is disappointing that it is feel so empty, even in hunt or in town. There is only a handful of NPC that you can interact in town, and they communicate with text rather than voice mostly.

    Though hunting behemoth feels nice at first, but it wear down quickly from exciting to repetitively boring in a flash. There are no other enemies or minions present in the map where you hunt the behemoth. It's just your squad and a single behemoth, except those summoned by some behemoth. Or in short, you go to a map, kill a behemoth, rinse and repeat, no minions, no obstacle, no in-hunt story. At first few hours of gameplay, it is exciting to see new behemoth, new area, using new weapons, crafting new armor, but the repetitiveness and lack of variation in the hunt, makes each hunt feels more and more boring.

    After those hours you put in hunting the same behemoth to get it's part, the reward from your grind is not too satisfying. Every armor (at least so far in my gameplay) has the same amount of defense rating at first level when you crafted it. It doesn't make sense, that the armor crafted from the very first behemoth you slay, has the same defense rating of a behemoth that took your squads almost half an hour to slay. There's no reward in crafting other armor rather and it the embedded armor skill in each piece, which turns out you can just use some armor and embed it with cells - in short, an item with a skill to embed in your armor or weapon - to get the skills you wanted. Same goes for weapon, a basic weapon crafted from your very first behemoth has the same damage rating as the weapon crafted from the behemoth that can one shot you and your squad. And even though you upgrade those armor and weapons to its very limit, nothing changed except for the resistance rating; no visual improvement to tell you that this armor is maxed out, just a bunch of numbers telling you this is stronger and this is not.

    Behemoth variance in this game is also small. There is only around 14 original behemoth and another 14 variance with difference in color, damage and a few move sets. This is somewhat so little, considering there is no other entities to fight in the hunt rather than the behemoth itself.

    This game will probably be improving, given the developer is currently active in checking for issues surrounding the game, but I think it'll need months, maybe years to improve to a more fun, challenging and rewarding.    … Expand

    This game isn't bad. People give it crap because micro transactions but when a game is free like Warframe I not only am ok with it, I'll reward the company with money if I think they deserve it.

    That being said the microtransactions are not pay to win in any form. you get a little extra drop from monsters if you pay the battle pass but thats it, everything else is cosmetics.

    All things considered if this game had come out between monster hunter titles as apposed to going head to head with monster hunter people would be a lot more positive than they are now. if you want to do a hunter like game with out droping sixty bucks give this one a try.    … Expand

    They keep spitting out most repulsive cosmetics updates ignoring actual game-breaking bugs that existed since its most scuffed alpha release (Getting stuck inside trees for example). They legit had the audacity to remove private sessions for hunts so you're now forced to play with players that either are floormats or nearly one-shot the bosses, hence creating the floormat players at endgame that never had to dodge anything before. Cycle of cringe.

    Played the game for over 100 hours (got full builds for most classes which half come from beta ez gets) and came to a conclusion that I can only hate play it at this stage. Very repetitive, nerve wrecking game that is very VERY hard to enjoy after first 4-5 hours of game-play. Gonna give 1 point just because it managed to bait me into playing it for so long due to hopes of it becoming something sem-decent. Good job Pheonix Labs, based on progress so far, fair to assume pay2win loot crates soon?    … Expand

    Recent PC release gives me opportunity to play a free Monster Hunter game with Fortnite graphical style... what can go wrong, right? Well actually pretty much everything. Game is not bad by any means, but it is pretty much unpolished and lack at everything. Yes, I did not reach "end game", but I see no reason to force myself if game is not good or rewarding enough.

Yes, I did not reach "end game", but I see no reason to force myself if game is not good or rewarding enough.
    Biggest dissapointment is a crapton of monetisation. In main city you will encounter more premium shops than actual NPC. LIke really, there is couple of spots where you can spent your money and few spots where you can open your lovely lootboxes.
    But let's say a word about gameplay itself. It is kinda dumbed down version of any game where you fighting bosses. You have few weapon options, later on you can upgrade them to boost their stats. And that's basically it. Then you go on a mission looking for a boss (kinda similar, and again: dumbed down, version of Evolve hunting) and then you beat it with 2 buttons to death. Biggest issue with controls is COMPLETLY CRAPPY CAMERA. Who the hell did not include aim lock in this type of game? I understand, it is PC realease, but game is very playable on gamepad and lack of lock-on-target is undefendable. You only have button to turn camera once, for more hectic fights where boss jumping around, this is not enough.
    And this is much it. It works nice, looks nice (if you like Fortnite), customisation is mediocre, but manageable. Plot... exists. It is as plain and boring as it can be, and pretty they could just throw you right into action without a single line of dialogue and everything could be same. Biggest pros. of Dauntless is being F2P. If you don't mind spending money, there are much, much better choices out there, with more content, replayability and much less repetiveness. Monster Hunter World is an obvious choice, but pretty much any "boss-fighers" done combat, camera and overall everything better. Witcher 3 on highest difficultes can change most battles into more polished version of Dauntless. There are also Souls games, or even Final Fantasy XV.

    My recommendation: try it by yourself, it is free. Game is as much mediocre as it can be. There is literally nothing exceptional here. Every aspect of of this game you can find elsewhere, with more polish.    … Expand

    'Not pay2win' pay2win Monster hunter clone. The devs glossed over or outright lied about the monetization. Now with the game's lifespan expectations diminished they have walked back their promises of no pay2win and you can now buy gear mods, extra loot, or even character levels with real money.

    actually, getting onto the game can be a pain (I'm putting it down to beta servers since that waiting list had 3,000 others on before me)
    this is an issue as the times I've attempted to play the game I'm unable to which is a bit annoying, to say the least as the game looks great but the devs haven't put up enough servers (or large enough) for the people who want to play to the beta.

    Mechanically, it really gets in the way of itself. The movement is insufferable. The animations are uninterruptible, and combined with the high inertia, it makes for a slow, clunky, unsatisfying and just unpleasant core experience.

    If this was an MMO with tab targeting or a tactical RPG, the movement would be a negligable issue, but it's integral to the gameplay in Dauntless. It would be like making a racing game where the car physics felt bad, or a platformer where it took 3 full seconds to change directions.

    Alas, it doesn't really matter how much cool content they add if the gameplay isn't well executed at the most basic level. Definitely a skip for now.

    Maybe they'll take another crack at it post launch. I hope they do.    … Expand

    It had me for the Intro and first few hunts, then I realized that this game doesn't offer anything but microtransactions and bare gameplay (nothing new I haven't seen in previous MMOs). The style and armors etc are pretty cool, but that's about it.

    What really disappointed me most was the fluidity of battling. Jumping and attacking feels really rigid and the mapping is off and odd.

    - UI is obviously made for consoles. The menus are humongous, your character is very close to the screen, etc.
    - Microtransactions in your face at every shop
    - Terrible graphics, terrible distance rendering on details. The game feels like a stretched out 480p YouTube video on max graphics. The depth of field is atrocious. Blurs objects 5m out. Objects are only clear 2m away in towns. My eyes hurt in town sometimes. This feels like a mobile game put on the PC.
    - Laggy servers (most likely will be fixed with time)
    - Bugs, clunky movement, attacks that don't connect well, clipped 3-4 times through the ground (it IS a Beta to be fair)
    - Easy game if you're not stun-locked to death by a behemoth ability (Island 4 - that's when I stopped playing)

    Extremely repetitive. Still has a few bugs, hopefully they are fixed if this game is ever released. Gameplay is okay, there are issues with the hit boxes which is very annoying. Especially since you can get 1 shot in later stages. They need to fix the bugs and hit boxes if they want me to give this even a mediocre score. If they want my money, well they are going to need to change MUCH more.

TRANSMOG. y'know, that thing Capcom still can't figure out to add to its premier hunting game after decades of development. nuff said.

    Now, the game is currently in open beta and it definitely still feels like a work in progress. there's bugs here and there, and the main hub town can get a bit rubberbandyish when its crowded. That said, even in its current rough-cut state its easy to see that Pheonix Labs has stumbled onto something special here.

    The overall aesthetic of the game is spot on. It has that stylized, cartoony art style that looks great at release and ages well over time, combined with deep, meaty, satisifying sound effects that hit you right in the soul. Every fight is a treat, with each new monster surprising you with interesting mechanics, attacks, and strategic opportunities for a co-op team to master. The monsters themselves are gorgeous, a savage blend of natural and sci-fantasy flavored beastness. The fact that they visibly accumulate wounds and battle damage over the course of the encounter is one of my favorite features... they look and feel as though they are getting more tired or frenzied as the battle progresses.

    The game isnt without its flaws, certainly; there is a bit of a speed bump in the beginning (the first few monsters you fight are incredibly basic, and are NOT a true indication of the challenges to come!) which probably leads to plenty of folks dipping their toe in, fighting the slow, easy stuff, and thinking the game isnt deep enough to enjoy. Furthermore, of the 6 different weapon styles available in the game, only 3 are available at start; the rest must be unlocked as you level up. In a genre that is generally known for giving you freedom of choice when it comes to playstyle, this can be a bit of a turn off, especially if your preferred flavor of weapon is unavailable for you for the first 6 or 8 hours of content. You like axes in most games? too bad. swing a hammer or a sword for your first 12 - 15 hunts, then start learning the axe in the middle of hard fights, 'cause you cleared the easy ones already. :(

    Quibbles aside, the actual gameplay is fun, the world is colorful, and the monsters are glorious. For the cost of entry ( $0, btw. The game is free) its easily worth a look. Give it a chance and it may surprise you. Just, well, try to stick it out till the 5th monster you hunt. That's where the game really starts to shine.    … Expand

I was hoping this would be similar to monster hunter but in fact its almost identical with weapons and animations. I do not recommend this game for anyone and if you really want an amazing monster hunting game that is user friendly with heart racing monster fights I seriously suggest purchasing Monster Hunter: World instead of this half baked pathetic copy of a game that is obviously just a cash grab. The only saving grace of this game this that its free, but that positive it immediately redacted by its in-game "Battle Pass" system. Complete and utter waste of a 20 min download.… Expand

    Se for jogar Dauntless e achar divertido no começo, eu tbm achei, mas espera só chegar no End-Game, ou vc paga ou fica estagnado sem poder fazer a build q deseja, perdi mt tempo com esse jogo horrível, por isso estou aqui escrevendo isso, para que se algm for ler e achar relevante o meu feedback não perder tanto tempo, como eu perdi.

Then RIGHT after the first mission it introduces you to the season pass, **** you don't propose to someone right after meeting them, let me get to know your first. Then comes some silly intro quests that kind of block off your road to enjoying the game, long load times (compared to how long a hunt takes), long down times going around grabbing side quests. It just gets really boring really fast, the saving grace of this game is its gameplay, everything else just falls so flat.

    If the devs see this TLDR: Cut down on downtime and load screens and focus on your gameplay, if anything that is what will make your game succeed as it truly is good. Hold off on introducing season pass too until players are commited to the game and are enjoying themselves.    … Expand

    As a quick summary, this game is completely unplayable. Server outages, server queues, unplanned downtime.

    So far I've never been able to even log in. I got through the character creation process, but after that, crashed again. Well... it hard locked up apparently waiting for a server with nothing to do but alt-f4.

    1 star for effort. Should have done a more extensive beta.

I never played the console monster hunter but did play the psp version. Is it similar? To be honest I don’t remember anything from monster hunter as I was carried through everything. Now this game is super fun, especially when all the other games out right now are awful. The player based is huge thanks to cross play. The best part is it gets more difficult as you progressed and I love it. What if I finish all the quest lines? Well there is plenty to do with mastery, when you accomplish everything with one weapon type, you can do it all over with a different weapon. (Way different experience with every weapon type.) I also love being able to fail and work my way to avoid that failure. So many times I had to redo a boss because we literally had a lot to learn. Then I also enjoy being the last one alive and once I finally clutch it for the squad, I hear the screams of my team being amazed. This game is paving memories and the more I play it the more I love it. As much love that I have for this game, I also dislike parts of it. Like not having a full 4 man squad sometimes and not being able to just exit the hunt. We need to quit the whole game in order to exit. That is literally the most disliked thing I could think of. To wrap it all up it is really worth your time for someone looking for a solo game to grind meanwhile watching your favorite streamer, or a game to play with friends.… Expand

    There are quite a few Behemoths to hunt (Monsters like in Monster Hunter) and there is an actual reason why you fight them and not just "because Im a hunter".

    That said...the difficulty is a bit low-ish for MH veterans or people who play a lot of games like Dark Souls...so don't expect to be super challenged.

    You can make plenty of different builds and kill the Behemoths in many ways.

    So far, my experiences with the game have been good. Apart from some minor bugs (mostly visual glitches) the game runs smoothly at 60 fps on my pc. I like those cartoony graphics, but I guess it's not for everyone. At the moment, the grind for armour and weapons is still fun to me, since all armour sets look very stylish and the weapons play differently. You can create different gear sets according to how you want to tackle the different monsters and min-maxing elemental damage is a big factor in preparing for the hunts. It's actually quite fun and engaging. Also, all the monsters I hunted looked cool and had interesting abilities. A very big positive for me is the possibility of crossplaying with PS4 and XBOX. Although I haven't played with friends yet, they only own consoles and it is nice that the platform of choice is not a limitation for playing together.

    Unfortunately, the sound effects are pretty basic and not do not build up any atmosphere. The central hub is also pretty void of life and apart from your basic crafting stations there is not much to do or see. Combat can be clunky and getting stunlocked is an issue sometimes, but wer never bothersome to me. Since this is F2P, there are obviously microtransactions within the game which the developers are trying to push. In the hub you will see a lot of references to the shop. Items are mostly cosmetic, but there are some pay to win ones as well. I have no intention of buying any of these, so it doesn't bother me that much, but I did notice the steep prices for the items on display. In my opinion, €5 for a weapon skin and €10 for an intro seem overpriced. There is also a battlepass, but the rewards did not really appeal to me.

    The game is free, fun, cross-play and has nice graphics, models and animations. Story is good, and the characters lovable. Although, It's a little repetitive, but I found that OK because there is so many things to learn about each monster! Deserves an 8, but because of the 5.3 User Score I'm going to give it a 10.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is so addictive! Have been playing this game exclusively for the last 2 weeks and I'm having so much fun with the increasing difficulty of the monsters, weapon and armour forging and customisation, gameplay mechanics of the different weapons (highly recommend to try Aether strikers, chain blades and axe, very different weapons but so much fun!). I encountered only 1 bug where you go somewhere else in the map but they have implemented a useful button that fixes that immediately by making you spawn in a safe place. I can highly recommend this game, its free and you will have a lot of fun unlocking new levels of difficulty and mods, specially trials and escalation! super fun.… Expand

    Eather Striker are first weapons in this game they where op when they got released 4years ago and to this day are still the ONLY viable option if you want to get good at time trials.

    If you don't want to pay money get ready to grind for days and hope you get lucky with the cells you get otherwise you gotta farm some monsters and hope to get some cells do drop witch happens like 1/10 times.

    To make it easy, the Devs don't listen to the playerbase and continue the drive away content creators if they tell them that the changes they made are bad.

    If you want a idiot safe version of Monster Hunter than go for it but don't expect the game to stay the game it is now. In the 5 Years i play they changed the basics like 5x and made endgame players like i was start semi new every time just to get livetime out of the game.

    I have 80days9h played and the changes to the Cells was the last straw for me and i uninstalled the game.
    I told you above Cells are a big grind and i had all of them legit all, they removed some with the latest patch and made them into new combined cells but the cells you farmed are just GONE you don't get them to craft or anything if you want the new ones go grind again.

The gameplay is fluid, there's a great ratio between accuracy, reflex, and knowledge on the boss's moves. Unfortunately, all this doesn't mean anything if the people you're playing with aren't fun to, y'know, actually play with.

    The community and the players there-in are absolute dog crap as of this review. 3/5ths of the way through the content, your options are: Wait several minutes for a private lobby(to kill a boss that takes 2-7 minutes), have friends willing to play with you, or grind it out with a variety of console players that are almost as interested in screwing the team as they are downing the boss. Not to say PC players can't be dick bags as well, but holy crap the number of uncooperative/lazy/malicious players you'll find from the cross-platform feature is almost awe-inspiring.

    Either find 3 other friends to play this game with or just don't even install it. You're not missing out as a new player. You have 3 options in this game: Suffer through hours of grind with absolute tools for teammates, Play the beta and be way into end-game where the server-searching dumpster-fire doesn't impact you as much, or get a squad you can queue with.

    Which is sad, because this game would probably rank closer to a 7 or 8 in my book if their playerbase wasn't so insufferable to game with.

    TL;DR: A lot of words to say the game is great, but it's hampered by their players and lazy/under-staffed moderators. Much like 90% of F2P coop games. If you give it a try, don't jump the gun on paying for anything. I'd recommend giving it a good 12 hours of play(pubbing, solo, or team) before providing any sort of support for a game that's severely lacking in terms of the player-related QA department.    … Expand

    As far as FTPs go, Dauntless passes for a generous game. You don't necessarily have to fork out money to progress, and the game doesn't pester you with nag screen to convince you to pay. Aside from that, however, Dauntless isn't afraid to use every trick in the old FTP book, including one of the most obnoxious: a crafting system based on loot boxes, and crippled by artificial waits that can be skipped by paying real money.

    When you start exploring Dauntless, and after you get over the slightly ugly graphics, you're overwhelmed. There are so many systems, ticking all the boxes of its business model: armor upgrades, weapon upgrades, ability upgrades, a skill tree, multiple types of consumables, weapon modifiers, loot boxes, paid cosmetics… the works. On the surface, Dauntless is a very complicated game. Remove all the grindwork, however, and you're left with a game loop so minimal, it feels skeletal: together with three other players, you beat up a large hitpoint sponge of a creature until either the creature or your team dies. In that respect, Dauntless feels like a complete reskinning of "Super Kirby Clash", an equally uninspired and boring FTP game. Sure, you want to move on and unlock the next weapon… but you never have joy while doing so. It's just a mirthless exercise in repetition.

    Dauntless gives you a dozen different ways to grind. The result is a longer, more boring grind.    … Expand

    Its visually appealing to the current crowd, the graphics are the simple blocky character art like fortnite but it works, it lacks in the gameplay department, floaty movement and combat leave you wanting more, weightless weaponry with no hit feeling like you've done anything making the Behemoths feeling more like damage sponges that dont feel like they're trying to even evade your flurry of attacks, and in a group of 4 it can be a real mess with often times the monster just flailing about.

    The skill curve goes from easy to hard and no inbetween, with the light/dark elemental Behemoths posing some sort of challenge, this comes with the set back of not being guided to farm a full gear set to the max, often partys kick players after telling them to gear up more, not the greatest experience, and this could be handled in a way where the developers warn you before taking on these beasties with a simple "Are you sure you want to accept this quest, the monster is way above your pay grade, level up Slayer".

    Monetization
    I found getting the cells i needed (Gems that have power enhancements) to be a hassle, with people i play with getting all they need because they payed extra for the 20+ hour wait time, mobile game styled, time gated salesman to give them more of a chance to receive the cell they wanted, i do hope they find a better way to distribute these cores because its really not fun not being able to maximize your gear set for your preferred play style especially since they have a fortnite style battlepass.

    right now the game isnt in a state where you can play non stop, it gets to a point where you'll need to wait, so if you're thinking this is the next god eater or monster hunter where content is vast and then its over, its far from it and it needs to figure out if it wants to be the next monster hunter as a live service or if its going to have an identity of its own because its pretty weak.    … Expand

    Developers seems to have abandoned the game on a unfinished state filled with bugs, you can't even jump without getting stuck middle air.
    There is no way to see your latency to tell if its your lack of skills that doesn't dodge on time, your laggy computer or the potato servers. Its infurriating how bad the fluidity of the game is when trying to time a dodge, hitting an enemy and even using items.
    Hell using items has a loooooooong animation that if canceled it didn't made effect, you can't even heal with items while fighting because it will cancel whatever animation is happening in the moment. Drinking a healing item? Takes roughly 3 seconds and in the meantime the monster rushes towards you and end with even less health. What's the point of healing anyways?

    Dauntless is a game along the lines of Fortnite. Taking the concept of a popular game, adding your twist to it and release it for free with minimal HUD and UI and of course, a **** battle pass. in your first hunt you fight a BEHEMOTH (not a monster don't be silly now) that was so unmemorable that i can't remember how it looked or what it did. Then you go to the hub world where you do some really awful minimalist MMO-like mission to craft gear and hunt a new monster. In Fortnite the twist was you could build and the game was third person. It was refreshing. A new take on an oversaturated genre. Now what does Dauntless do differently than Monster Hunter World? Uhhh I guess they added a healthbar for BEHEMOTHS (still not monsters) which was specifically not in Monster Hunter because it would take away the immersion.

    Monster Hunter World has beautiful well thought out areas of a memorable island.
    Dauntless has an uninteresting world that has trees and snow sometimes.

    Monster Hunter World has tens of unique memorable monsters with distinct movesets and personalities.
    Dauntless has BEHEMOTHS who are unmemorable and generic so much so that I can't remember the appearance or movesets of a single one.

    Monster Hunter World has unique skill trees for all weapons and monsters.

    Try out the game. The first few hours are fun, like any demo, but do not make a purchase on the expectation that you will enjoy it for hundreds of hours until you have already realized it. Do not support incompetent developers.

    The game elements mesh together artistically, but that is easy to accomplish with mediocre graphics. Slayers do not feel like they are designed to fight behemoths, instead their animations are suited to fighting immovable cubes. Dauntless is designed to be a comfortably difficult game, yet many players find it too difficult because progression is far too fast, which is bad given its incredibly simple game play loop when compared to the Monster Hunter series. When players do reach the end, after maybe 20 hours, there is no meaningful end game content. Behemoths are far too easy to manipulate, and fights become unsatisfying and short outside of speed runs, which at the competitive level are dependent on random critical hits.

    Phoenix Labs is active on social media, but their employees are not really listening. They only want to post jokes and bask in the flattery offered by naive newcomers. They ignore plenty of feedback from veterans, probably because they are too invested in their terrible design decisions. Phoenix Labs is designing Dauntless to suit their wallets and their vision, not the community's vision, and I can respect that, but the result is unsatisfactory.

    The problems with Dauntless are low-level such that it is not feasible for Phoenix Labs to rebuild the game - it would consume too many man-hours while not providing revenue. It is too late for this game to be anything more than disappointing after a few hours.

    If Dauntless were an offline, single-player experience, I would perhaps give it a 3. But as a flawed game that is only becoming worse with each update, it deserves a 0.    … Expand
