![]() ![]() That’s a downside for a portable system like the Switch, but on the other hand you gain cross saves/cross progression as well as cross play with it. ![]() Keep in mind, though, that even those hunts are online only and that you need a constant connection to the internet. You can choose to have a private hunt, just you and the Behemoth, which is quite enjoyable. Speaking of hunts, you normally hunt in a group of four. Which, by the way, also has better loading times. The hunts are significantly better, but but still not as fluid as the ones on Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate. Turning off the chat, which is rather useless on the Switch in any case – unless you have a keyboard attached – helps a bit, but only makes it bearable. Simply walking around makes the framerate drop so much that one wants to call Panic Button for help. It’s the abysmal loading times coupled with the stutters and dropping framerates both handheld and docked that take away the fun. Apart from the axis inversion there is no way to change them, but that’s OK. That is, when the controls are well thought out and the gameplay is fluid.Īnd this is exactly where Dauntless faults are. When the monsters, called Behemoths in Dauntless, are well thought out hunting them alone or with a group of friends can be very enjoyable. This sounds grindy and boring, but trust me – it isn’t. In case you haven’t got it from the paragraph above, the gameplay is basically to get a quest, kill the corresponding monster, take it’s parts to forge weapons/armour (Repeat the killing to get the parts you lack, these games tend to be rather grindy.) Rinse and repeat. After a while you will end up facing the strongest monsters to ever have existed and go down in history as a hero (or get smashed into smithereens while trying). Then take parts of the monster to make better weapons and armour and kill a stronger monster. Take up your weapons and armour and do your job. You are the town’s/village’s/merchant’s chosen hero and the burden to kill the monster falls into your capable hands. There is a monster threatening a town/a village/a merchant route and the threat has to be removed. So I’ll draw from my experience when I’m writing about Dauntless and will also frequently compare it to Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate.ĭauntless has the same story as any other monster slaying game. This review needs a disclaimer up front: With 1000+ hours in Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, Monster Hunter Generations and Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate I’m kind of a monster hunting veteran. ![]()
