If you like Palworld and Pokemon video games, I’m as soon as again asking you to attempt Monster Hunter Stories as the slept-on animal taming RPG gets a well-deserved remaster
Beast Hunter Stories is lastly leaving the Nintendo 3DS and mobile platforms thanks to a remaster pertaining to PS4, Switch, and PC this summer season. Now seems like an even much better time to suggest this beast taming RPG, and not even if of the retouched graphics or included voice acting.
Palworld is still among the most popular video games in the world, and its success has actually reignited discussion around the current mainline Pokemon RPGs being dull. Well, I have excellent news for the creature-collecting fandom. If you like the Pokemon RPGs, you’ll likely like Monster Hunter Stories. If you do not like the Pokemon RPGs, you will likewise most likely like Monster Hunter Stories. It catches an extremely comparable ambiance however honestly does it a lot better mechanically, and you do not require to be a Monster Hunter fan to enter into it, either.
I recognize that sufficient individuals purchased Monster Hunter Stories to bankroll a (significantly broadened) follow up, however it still seems like it’s criminally slept-on. It’s a turn-based RPG about “Monsties” that are essentially cuter variations of the stars of the Monster Hunter action RPGs. Other than this time, rather of striking beasts with comically big swords made from their cousin’s newly gathered bones, you raise and bond with Monsties, riding them around the globe and commanding them in fight. You even hatch little child Monsties from eggs and train ’em up huge and strong. Tigrex has actually never ever been so cute.
There’s an easy however efficient rock-paper-scissors system to fight that includes depth to the typical essential weak point chart, and with your primary character likewise combating in their own right, the group fights can get remarkably included. Products are likewise exceptionally essential, simply as they remain in Monster Hunter– max potions, my precious– as is your ever-improving equipment. This frames the core development systems, which can get extremely gripping.
If you wish to connect with collectible animals in a significant method while checking out a beautiful world, min-max the ideal lineup of beasts, and get stuck in a battle system that has metaphorical and actual teeth, I can’t advise Monster Hunter Stories extremely enough, specifically now that it’s concerning more significant platforms. It’s essentially what I desired from the couple of mainline Pokemon video games I’ve played, and while I am a huge Monster Hunter fan in basic, I might in fact see it being more enjoyable to see all these time-honored beast styles for the very first time.
Beast Hunter World is popping off on Steam once again after Capcom’s online project and Monster Hunter Wilds’ expose.
