Developer CAPCOM Co., Ltd.

Monster Hunter Stories is a role-playing video game developed by Capcom and Marvelous and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo 3DS.

    This is a surprisingly good game. I went in honestly expecting to not enjoy it or find it an obnoxious pokemon rip off, but the gameplay is vastly more engaging and interesting. Funny enough one of the closest comparisons I can make of recent games is Expedition 33? Let me explain. Gameplay wise you can basically carry around 6 monsters, but you only use one at a time in combat beside you. It will move by itself, but you can order it around with kinship points by landing special timed event…

    Never thought I would like a Monster Hunter turn based game, but here we are. You play as a Rider instead of a Hunter. How different is it? Well, as a Hunter, you track and hunt monsters to make your pants. As a Rider, you kidnap monsters from their nests, tame them, and use them to hunt other monsters to make your pants. So there is indeed some difference. I skipped the game initially because the screenshots made it look like a kids’ game. Story wise, it kinda is. It’s about the power of…

    The first 30 hours are genuinely fun, but the rest is hellish grinding. Even by Monster Hunter standards, the grind here is excessive. I spent the last 50 hours solely on the Level 99 trophy and that was with a guide. The endgame difficulty feels slightly higher than Dark Souls, but with less fairness and more randomness. Also, the main character is about as useful in the endgame as he is talkative. Unless you’re full-time unemployed and willing to burn money, don’t bother. For casual…

    PLAY THIS FIRST before Monster Hunter Stories 2. I know you are reading reviews and some people say you can skip this since the story doesn't relate, but honestly, the game is truly great and it's worth the time, it's challenging from the start to finish. Mechanics are well polished, items are interesting and majority are useful, lots of skills, monstie leveling system and synergies also executed great. You will have a blast playing this, even more so if you do it on a handheld. Story was…

    I love this game! Played it first on 3DS in 2017 for 90hrs and had a blast! Sure, there are some flaws like the RNG in fights (in Part 2 they fixed this); but oh golly, it's so whimsy. Collect some poogies all over the world? Some rhyme-dropping-grandpa? Approximatly 850 puns about cats/paws/fur? You're in for a treat. Plus, I really think it looks quite good on PC (and Deck). And the artstyle aged well. The second installment of this series is more mature, sure. But this one just hits some…

    Honestly as a side-entry to the beloved monster hunter titles, this game is very interesting. It becomes more interesting when you consider the story of Wild's compared to this. Does it mean that the stories universe isnt the same as the main games? Theories aside this is a very barebones basic turn-based RPG/Monster Collector that you fight along side the monsters whose eggs you poach from their nests. It runs very well on the steam deck.

    Let me start off by saying that I was raising an eyebrow at some of the complaints in other reviews. If you're complaining about the grind...well you're likely not familiar with Monster Hunter. The game-locked starter... you're likely not familiar with Pokemon, particularly Pokemon Yellow. The difficulty spikes, especially end/postgame... you've at least played an RPG before, right? Anyways, Capcom certainly got ahead of the wave of Pokemon-likes that have been coming out a lot lately. For…

Instead of hunting monsters, you build bonds (friendships) with them and that the main idea and purpose of the story (The power of friendship).
