Dauntless vs Kingdom Hearts: Unchained X
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!
Kingdom Hearts: Unchained X
Kingdom Hearts: Unchained X offers a nice yet rather unlikely mix between two of the most celebrated animated masterpieces, Disney and Final Fantasy, that's set in the “Era of Lost Masters” within the timeline of the Kingdom Hearts lore. If you find this hard to wrap your head around... well, just imagine a Kingdom Hearts world that had just been Disney-fied. Indeed, this 2D game contains numerous references to popular Disney animated shows, characters and even locations like Agrabah from Aladdin.Aside from the Disney influence, fighting the Heartless in this game is something that's pretty easy to pick up since you'll mostly be tapping and swiping to swing that big and iconic keyblade of yours. Interestingly though, the game allows you to use a variety of abilities, ranging from healing effects to experience boosts, depending on the medal you use.
That said, Kingdom Hearts: Unchained X does pale in comparison to any of the games in the Kingdom Hearts franchise and well, that's not exactly surprising considering that this game is free-to-play. However, if you love Disney and/or Kingdom Hearts, you'll definitely want to check this game out.
