Blade Hunter vs Dauntless
Blade Hunter
Blade Hunter is a solid browser MMORPG that sets you on an epic quest to hunt down and slay the fiercest and most ruthless monsters that are roaming the land, causing terror and spreading chaos wherever they are. The game may not offer much in terms of innovation but it definitely has all of the common features you'd come to expect in a web-based MMO, including auto-pathfinding quests, boss dungeons, PvP arenas, and more. There are plenty of freebies as well.To sum it all up, Blade Hunter is pretty much a copy-and-paste browser MMORPG despite having a different storyline and look, though, we'd say that the game itself is decent enough for some casual play.
Dauntless
Dauntless is a co-op action RPG that has been hailed by many as an exclusively MMO version of Monster Hunter: World albeit with less "realistic" (subject to debate, I'm sure) graphics. In this game, you will play as a Slayer, one of the last fearless warriors who are all that stand between savage behemoths that have gorged on the powers of aether - the very power that had shattered the isles - and the surviving people of Ramsgate.In many ways, the storyline may remind you of Pacific Rim, minus all the cool tech and mechs. Instead of piloting massive machines of war, you do battle with aether-charged attacks and well-timed combos while working cooperatively with other players. There are many types of monsters for you to slay in Dauntless and different types will require different strategies. In fact, the strategy you use depends on how you build your character and what's your team composition is. This is definitely not your usual "tank and spank" boss fights.
If you love actually-challenging boss fights in MMOs and generally, cooperatively hunting down creatures of monstrous sizes, then Dauntless is definitely a game you'll want to check out.
