Dauntless takes place in a fantasy setting, where a cataclysmic event has torn the world apart, releasing monstrous creatures known as Behemoths preying on surviving humans.
Players take on the role of Slayers to take down Behemoths, collecting loot that they use to craft and upgrade weapons and equipment with which to defeat Behemoths.
While hunting, the player uses a combo system to attack the creature, while monitoring their own health and stamina gauge.
SURVIVAL: Hunting Behemoths
Such hunts can take upwards of 20 minutes of in-game time to complete. The game can be played both as single-player or co-operatively with up to four people.
