Dauntless vs Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide
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!
Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide
Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide lets you dive right into Ubersreik, a city that was overrun by the incredibly-mobile Skaven as one of the five heroes available. Each hero has their own background stories for you to uncover, as well as skill sets and equipment to customize and play around with. Being a team-oriented game, you can either play cooperatively with your friends or online with other players via the game’s drop-in; drop-out multiplayer. Best yet, even if the team isn’t full, the game will simply add in AI bots just so you won’t have to wait endlessly just to play the game.In short, Warhammer: End Times – Vermintide is a really entertaining dungeon crawler that did its namesake proud. The game is insanely fun and addictive, especially if you’re a huge fan of the genre, and the enemies you fight are also deviously clever, making them quite the challenge. It’ll be worth every cent you’ve spent on getting the game, that’s for sure!
