About this game

The thrill of the hunt is calling. Begin your hunting adventure now!

🌎 Hunt monsters in the real world:
Embark on a global quest to track down and hunt some of the most formidable monsters from the Monster Hunter universe as they appear in our world. Forge powerful weapons and team up with fellow hunters to track down larger-than-life monsters and take them head-on.

⚔️ Authentic hunting action carefully adapted to mobile:
Discover a variety of monsters depending on the habitat around you – Forest, Desert or Swamp – and engage in thrilling hunts solo, or band together with fellow hunters to take on these large monsters. The simplified tap-based controls and high-fidelity graphics enable you to engage in enjoyable hunting action wherever you go.

📷 See monsters around you with the AR Camera:
Experience what it’s like to have these iconic monsters appear in the real world with exclusive AR Camera features.

⏱️ Master the hunt in 75 seconds:
Can you complete the hunt within 75 seconds? Master the weapons, craft armor sets and hone your skills – exploit weaknesses and utilize every element at your disposal to take on the hunt.

🔴 Mark monsters even with your phone in the pocket:
With Adventure Sync, you can use a Paintball to track monsters while you explore your town and bring the hunt to your doorstep afterwards. As you explore, your Palico can mark passing monsters with Palico Paintballs, even while you aren’t actively playing, allowing you to return to them later, ensuring that the action never stops.

The actual monster hunting combat is super fun, but all the little micro transactions that were snuck in really ruin the fun. The biggest one for me is the item box filling up almost constantly when you are at higher ranks. I get needing to make a profit off of this game, but the item box thing just sucks any life or fun that I could be having out of the game. I also wish that you could seek out ANY monster that you've hunted before with the paintballs, not just whatever is in rotation

The game itself is great: it's Pokemon Go with monsters instead of cute. A lot of room for grinding, tuning and experimenting. The learning curve is very newbie friendly. What I don't like: the game is clearly making a lot of money, yet the prices have been steadily increasing over time. Over $20 for premium season rewards is too much. Occasionally providing a small amount of gems would fix that.

I keep editing my review as things develop. Dodging still feels hit or miss, pun intended. Not as bad as before though. Prices are still so high, I just avoid purchases completely. I would really like to see those come down, but you can do a lot without buying anything. Another issue I would really like to see worked on is that of speed locking. The most time I have to play is on a bus. I hate how it locks out all play while still asking me to confirm I am not the driver...
