Watch Some Early Dauntless Combat Gameplay

Since theirannouncement trailerduring the Game Awards, people have been wondering about what the gameplay will be like inDauntless, the upcoming free to play Monster Hunter meetsDark SoulsRPG from developer Phoenix Labs. In a developerblog post, they’ve given us an early look at what thecombatwill be like in the game. Check out the video below.

Dauntless will feature a stamina bar mechanic that governs powerful offensive actions like charges and combos. It’s also used for abilities like dodging and sprinting. This system is similar to those found in Monster Hunter and Dark Souls and can leave you exposed to anenemyattack or unable to land a blow on an opening if poorly managed. Players will be able to make creative use of these offensive and defensive tactics in concert like canceling out of a charge to dodge.

Editor at Fextralife. I look for the substantial in gaming and I try to connect video games to the emotions and stories they elicit. I love all things culture and history and have an odd fondness for the planet Jupiter. I think my dogs are pretty awesome too.

I really like it so far! I’m usually wary of free to play but it can be very good if done well.

I like they showed several different weapons, and the combat seems to have weight which I enjoy, as floaty mechanics feel strange. There’s a good level of graphic polish there for an alpha too, so I found myself wondering what kind of monster design we will find! I want to know more

Looks good.

I like the funny-looking graphics and the fact that in the footage we see, the character wields a greataxe…Cute one second, brutal the other….magnificent.
