Occupying a weird kind of future-fantasy universe not entirely dissimilar to something like Final Fantasy, Dauntless tells a simple story of… doing something for reasons. Your hunter – sorry, Slayer – is part of a pioneering team sent to Ramsgate, a frontier town in the Shattered Isles, a collection of floating landmasses riddled with large creatures called Behemoths. Dauntless does away with a lot of the loftier aspirations of its closest rival and most obvious influence and instead presents you with a much more straightforward challenge. The environments are far less dense and alive, and they’re also much smaller, meaning you’ll normally find the unfortunate beastie you’ve skipped out to club to death within a few minutes.Īs a result, Dauntless feels like a much more immediate and player-friendly experience than Capcom’s Monster Hunter World, even if that means it also lacks much of the nuance and detail that have made MHW Capcom’s biggest selling release ever.
You’re still sent out to murder colossal wildlife for reasons that don’t go much beyond filling out your summer wardrobe with new breastplates made from hacked out cheekbones, and you’ll still wield a bevvy of imaginative weapons that treat the laws of physics like loose guidelines, but there’s less emphasis on actual hunting. Is there anything on this list you want to play? Let us know in the comments below.Although directly compared to the Monster Hunter franchise with more frequency and slightly less flattery than the Mortal Kombat movies are compared to the Mortal Kombat games, Phoenix Labs’ free-to-play action offering Dauntless is more akin to a straight-up boss rush than a hunting game. They also have timed rights to a few hotly anticipated AAA titles like Borderlands 3.
DAUNTLESS EPIC GAMES EXCLUSIVE PC
It's a tough thing to wait out, as Epic holds the PC rights for many sequels to popular indie games such as the Retro City Rampage sequel, Hawaii Shakedown. Other than Epic's own games like Fortnite and Unreal Tournament, most of them will eventually come to Steam. Many of these titles only hold one-year exclusivity contacts with the Epic Games Store.
DAUNTLESS EPIC GAMES EXCLUSIVE FULL
If Steam does match Epic's revenue cut, what titles would they gain? Here's a full list of games that are currently exclusive to the Epic Games Store: Currently Available Epic Exclusives: Gamers get more games available universally, and developers are able to make more money off their hard work. Steam takes a 30 percent cut of revenue, while Epic Games' store takes a comparatively modest 12 percent.Įpic's CEO, Tim Sweeney, has stated that if Steam ever matches Epic's universal revenue cut with "no major strings attached," the Epic Games Store would immediately release most titles from their exclusivity contracts, allowing developers to sell them anywhere. To obtain these exclusives, Epic entices developers with extra payment upfront and by offering developers a larger revenue cut. Others are set to be exclusive indefinitely. Some are timed, staying exclusive between six months and a year. Epic Games store exclusivity isn't conistent, either. This divide specifically comes from the store's habit of buying off popular upcoming titles to exclusively sell them on the Epic Games store, rather than going to Steam, Origin, GOG, or any number of digital game marketplaces. The Epic Games store has polarized gamers since the service launched last December.
