Dauntless vs Keepers of the Rift
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.
Currently, the game is in Open Beta so you can go ahead and try the game for free, but if you love the game, be sure to purchase one of its Founder's pack and support the game's development!
Keepers of the Rift
Keepers of the Rift is a browser-based MMORPG where you play as an up-and-coming hero, who is setting off on an adventure to right the wrongs of the world. This dream of yours puts you in direct conflict with the shadowy organization called the Dark Legion. Thankfully, you won’t be taking on the enemy alone – assemble a party of heroes, bring along your combat pet and help save the gorgeous world known as Incuria from these nefarious villains.The game provides 6 unique classes for you to play as, namely warrior, priest, hunter, bard, engineer and knight, and each class comes in two genders. Questing in this game is as painless as it can be. It’s not at all grindy and is automated to an extent. The game’s turn-based combat is also similar in many ways. You can choose to manually select a skill to use and which enemy to use it on or you can simply let the game’s automation kick in by turning on auto-combat.
There are tons of other features as well, including titles, wings, and mounts for you to improve your Battle Rating; dungeons for you to raid in; and even PvP battles at the Coliseum. Best of all, the game has some of the most colorful and adorable graphics by browser standards, and an interesting variation of background tunes.
Keepers of the Rift is definitely a browser MMO that will appeal to players who have enjoyed Korean and/or Japanese MMOs in the past. It's fun and is an absolute eye-candy to look at. Do give it a try!
