This past weekend at PAX South, the co-op RPG Dauntless made its public debut, offering attendees a chance to try out a demo of the monster-slaying title. As you may recall from December’s reveal of the game, Dauntless is a free-to-play multiplayer game being developed by former Blizzard and BioWare employees.
PC Gamer caught some time with the demo and reported that it seemed (initially) impressive: “I was initially skeptical of its free-to-play model, but developer Phoenix Labs assured me it wants to stay far away from paying for power — focusing more on the standard cosmetics and boosts we see in other free-to-play games — and after playing it, I really liked the idea of being able to drop in to hunt giant monsters with friends without them having to make a purchase to do so.”
