    it fun but there are many sever issues that can make it impossible to play. from no sever space with weight lines of 20,000 plus players to being dropped and need to then weight in this 20,000 player line again.

    once you get to play the game play is fun and with 35mbs i had little to no lag. the RPG elements are strong framing crafting stronger gear repeat. the list of weapons is good 5    it fun but there are many sever issues that can make it impossible to play. from no sever space with weight lines of 20,000 plus players to being dropped and need to then weight in this 20,000 player line again.

    A game that encourages you to purchase items in game to make your character stand out. There is fun to be had in Dauntless but unfortunately it wears off rather quickly. Combined with multiple glitches such as all of the game's sound cutting out until restarted and one instance where the beast I was fighting wouldn't die despite me and three other players hammering into it for 25 minutes.

    Yes the game has some performance and big server issues at the Moment and it is really annoying.
    Most of the Time you really are sitting around, waiting for a hunt to start BUT i think that is not what a Game review should be about. It should be about the gameplay for the most part and the Gameplay is great.

    I am a Monster Hunter Veteran and played every game that was released in the EU. Dauntless offers many interesting Monsters with a lot of attacks and movement patterns that I've never seen before in a hunting Game. The Monsters are very easy in the beginning but the challenge is rising quickly and a challenging hunt is the most important and thrilling experience in a Monster Hunter like game. The weapons are also unique and interestingly designed. I like the graphics of the game although they're not high-end, which leads to a problem because the game has nevertheless some fps issues.
    There is an option to buy stuff but i never felt in need to do so, wich is nice.
    I hope that the Developers get the problems I pointed out in check, because I think Dauntless is a decent Game that costs no money and may bring a younger audience to the hunting genre, whilst making loads of fun.    … Expand

    Basicly its a good game but it didn't hooked me like Monster Hunter World did. After playing 15h Dauntless gets boring also it doesn't feel really good to win or lose, I never had this ''one big moment'', along this 15h it was always the same feeling

    Лично для меня отличный аналог MHW, но динамичней, боевая система побыстрей.
    С первого взгляда одно и тоже, но по механикам сильно различаются и она казуальней в плане расходников и прочего, но быстрей. Сложность растет по мере росту и навыка как убийцы и как знакомства с местной фауной.
    Из минусов, не так много оружия сколько бы хотелось, не так много монстров сколько бы хотелось.    Лично для меня отличный аналог MHW, но динамичней, боевая система побыстрей.

    Искал игру именно кросплатформенную. Наткнулся на данный "шедевр". В двоём играть очень весело. Но в тот же момент очень большой дискомфорт от отсутствия русского языка (Я уж не говорю про озвучку, хотябы просто текст, хотябы корявый....) Ну и оптимизация желает лучшего. В первые же часы схватил полное зависание. Пришлось перезапускать игру.

    По большей части это наверное всё что меня не устраивает. Отсутствие перевода, и просадка частоты кадров. (Прошу заметить, в бою всё хорошо, не замечал лагов. Лагает в городе!)    … Expand

    Although hardly original in its premise, Dauntless offers an extremely fun and accessible take on the monster-hunting roleplaying game. It wastes no time in throwing you straight into the action and while easy to pick up there’s plenty of depth there for fans of the genre. What’s more Dauntless is completely free to play, gracefully sidestepping those annoying monetisation pitfalls we’re so used to seeing.

    We didn't think we'd end up enjoying a F2P Monster Hunter clone ever so the fact we do is a credit to Dauntless' enjoyable combat and thriving online player base.

    As it stands, I’d absolutely suggest checking out Dauntless if you haven’t done so already. It’s an easy access free-to-play title with crossplay built-in for all platforms and doesn’t immediately try to nickel-and-dime you to death with add-ons and other items. The stuff you can buy is purely cosmetic, and there are plenty of earnable options available without needing to spend anything upfront. Also, it’s really fun to play, and as a big Monster Hunter fan, it’s nice to have a viable alternative to spend time with.
