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.

I’ve loved the monster hunter series for a while now but when I downloaded this game I didn’t expect much from it. However I can say that it blew a lot of my expectations! The game is quite similar to Pokémon Go obviously being made by the same creators but it has its own unique game style where it requires a lot more knowledge to complete the tougher hunts than chucking a ball into a moving circle. It pleases both the fans of monster hunter and casual gamers by having certain goals to reach. For me it was trying to discover the large monsters which there is lots and lots of. The fighting mechanics are simple but still requires a level of concentration and skill to target a monsters weak spots and I’ve found that the different weapons all have there pros and cons. Each one is useful in a way and I don’t think there is any real stand out weapon better than the rest. It’s a step up from the classic Pokémon go if you want a more interactive gaming experience of this type.

An unfun parody of Monster Hunter

If you've come for a Monster Hunter experience, you'll be very disappointed. There are only 6 weapons, and the balancing of them is incredibly weak, made worse by atrocious hitboxes. Every fight is a DPS check, so you're pretty much funnelled into a certain style of play. Oh, and the game is prone to slowdowns, but the clock will still countdown in real seconds, which will drastically hinder your rewards. Oh yeah, the rewards are the worst kind of RNG, you're more likely to get better rewards for A rank hunt times, but not always. A rank a 3 or 4 star hunt? Level 1 crafting materials. You can't craft potions to stay in the game either. That's a store purchase. Not zenny, dollars and cents. And it's not cheap either. Your palico will collect non-landmark resources as you pass, this is good. But it's paintballs (3 per day) are random with no way to narrow down what gets tagged. You wanna fight a 6 or 7 star monster? Nah mate, 1 star Great Jagras, get rekt son. I've tried to like this game, but Niantic have somehow launched a worse product than Pokémon Go was at launch, and this does not have the same player base/server issues Go did. This is a soulless, soulsucking insult to the Monster Hunter name, and is clearly a weak cash grab carting off the success of World, Iceborne, Rise and Subreak. Wouldn't wish this on anyone.

Love the game, 2 personal issues

I absolutely love this game, I do however have 2 wee issues that I personally feel could be imported upon. First is the cost of the wonder droplet, the item which increases your radius by 50% I feel is a little too expensive for the not massive increase, 50% is big but I don’t feel it is large enough for costing £5 where you can’t even get 2 for that price. The other is the travel restriction, I travel by bus a whole lot and I’d love to have my phone open collecting any resource points and hunting any monsters I come across however when you travel at a certain speed you are unable to do anything, not even collect which takes mere seconds, I get why this is in the game to stop people driving and playing the game but I feel it’s way to restricting. These are just my personal little issues however they don’t soil the game experience massively and I still adore this game. 9/10
