Dauntless
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- It felt like a solid AA live service Monster Hunter clone at launch.
- At that point they would start playing the air battle in Dauntless, which was an air combat simulation in which you wrote orders for 6 seconds turn increments for each plane in the battle, then carried the orders out.
Cons
- Why get nickel and dimed playing Dauntless when you can get a monster hunter game for a reasonable all-in fixed price?
- I used to love this game. I gave it up a couple years ago because it felt like it was just in maintenance mode. Shame.
- It was a fun game. Nothing amazing, but for a F2P MH clone it was impressive. But why play Temu MH when you can just play Monster Hunter?
- The relaunch was a total disaster and it's clear the company was probably desperate for some more cash flow, this just wasn't the right way to get it.
- they then launched in on Steam recently with a massive update that removed gathering monster parts from monsters in a monster hunting game, removed everyone's weapons, and then locked it all behind lootboxes.

The game has been mismanaged basically from the start but they really drilled it 6 feet deep with the latest greedy ass update
Parent context: What happened to that game? I remember it being quite talked about when it launched and then crickets Reply: they got bought out by a crypto company and went downhill
Dauntless struggled a lot during its existence but I enjoyed it for what it was.
