  • I absolutely love this game!

    I have a deep admiration for the game 'Monster Hunter Stories' because of its unique take on the Monster Hunter franchise. Unlike the main series, which focuses on hunting and defeating monsters, 'Monster Hunter Stories' allows players to become Riders and form bonds with monsters to fight alongside them. This new gameplay mechanic adds a whole new layer of strategy and depth to the game, as players must carefully choose which monsters to bond with and how to utilize their abilities in battle. Additionally, the game's vibrant and colorful art style, engaging story, and charming characters make it a joy to play. The world of 'Monster Hunter Stories' is rich and immersive, with a wide variety of monsters to encounter and environments to explore. The game also features a deep customization system, allowing players to personalize their character and their monster companions to suit their playstyle. Overall, 'Monster Hunter Stories' is a refreshing and innovative take on the Monster Hunter franchise that has captured my heart and kept me coming back for more. I highly recommend it to any fan of the series or anyone looking for a fun and engaging RPG experience.

  • One error I would like fixed

    So I’ve been playing monster hunter stories for about 2 years now. I have almost beat everything in the game. I love playing monster hunter and monster hunter stories games. But any ways I have never had this issue until last week we’re basically if I go on to my Home Screen or out of the app with it still opened the game will just freeze and reset. This is annoying when you’re in the tower of illusions because you have to restart that part. pls fix this so I can enjoy stories in peace I also am wondering if you could add stories 2 to the App Store though pls fix glitch.

  • Decent Port

    First of all, the global version is great, would love to see the Japanese updates come over, while we wait for Monster Hunter Stories 2 to be released. Currently have over 100 hours on the game, just recently finished unlocking all the multiplayer rewards. Story is fun, combat is engaging, tons of encouragement to explore the world.

    Now for the critiques.

    1. Multiplayer does not function that well, other than the duramboros event, being able to play a full multiplayer match, is near impossible. My friends and I have have been doing competitions via local connections, and the matches consistently drop 80% of the time. Yes we are all on the same version of the game, as well as devices.

    2. Capcom has a habit of removing games from the App Store after a certain amount of time. Monster Hunter Freedom Unite was the most recent example. So we’re essentially renting their games, instead of owning it. I own physical copies of most of the monster hunter games, however I enjoyed them being on a handheld device, the touch controls for Freedom Unite handles incredibly well.

    3. The Japanese updates for MHST are not out for this version, so we’re lacking some incredibly strong monsters.

    Other than those things, solid port. Just be prepared to have the game be removed from your library at some point, due to capcom not wanting to keep up with the iOS updates.

  • 'New Game+' feature in new update please?

    As much as I adore the gameplay, music, audio, story, etc. there is one thing missing: replayability. Sure, there's replayability in the form of questboards found in cities and camps but its just not emersive as NPC quests and Story quests are. The New Game+ feature would also help players improve their existing equipment and monsties instead of leaving them gridlocked in a weak state. (Yes I'm mad about not being able to beat teostra or fatalis through hard work. lol)

  • Cannot stop playing this

    I couldn’t belive how expensive this was at first, but through with that, this game is seriously addicting. Ever since I got Covid, I’ve been spending all my days playing this non-stop. I even introduced my friend to it, and she said she got bored of it.
    Although she never stopped playing it, because what better game is there than Monster Hunter Stories?
    Suggestion: make very easy way to trade monsters online and multiplayer with friends

  • Successful Port

    I played this game originally for the Nintendo 3DS and this holds up very well. The game is a enjoyable spin-off from the main series, giving an alternative perspective on the world of Monster Hunter. Befriending Monsters and using the abilities they have to traverse further into the world, or to find better loot. My only complaint is that the auto save feature doesn’t help if the app is open for a long period of time, but not closed out. If this scenario happens then the game for some reason doesn’t auto save and goes back to the last save before then.

  • So many things could be better, especially for that price tag.

    You pay this much for a mobile game and it crashes when trying to load backup saves (not that they ever work, it’s a completely useless feature that the devs doesn’t care to fix).

    I have a save on my iPad that I would like to transfer to my phone, but it never detects my backup save. If you try to do it again, the entire app just quits out. Game isn’t even optimized fully for the newer iPads either (big black borders around the game rather being full screen). The whole think just reeks of poor quality and a lack of care.

    Also a smaller nitpick, but it would be very nice to have the option for static controls so the virtual d-pad doesn’t keep sliding all over the place when controlling the character.

    Hopefully one day Capcom has the budget to fix these errors.

  • Epic game

    So when I first started the game I was like I really want to know what happens so I started my adventure. It was really awesome. And I had beat the game a few times and then when monster hunter stories 2 wings of ruin came out on Nintendo switch I was like this’ll be so awesome and something else good about this game is that it will like prepare u for the next chapter. And don’t worry if ur wondering what’ll happen to naviro then don’t worry people that have started that recently he’s in there. Man, the game wouldn’t be the same without that annoying fuzball feline! So yeah u people out there try the game give it a five star review as well and tell us if u start playing number 2 if this sorta set u up for it as much as it did for me! Aaaaannnnndddd peace ou-!!!😁😆

  • Needs quick saves

    This is a great port that’s fun and has good gameplay, but it is seriously marred by saving your progress being limited to the village, with no apparent auto save either. Given that this is a mobile game, relatively common interruptions and app swapping should be expected, and losing a ton of progress because your play gets interrupted enough that the phone refreshes the app is a bummer. Really fun game though, and if you have the time to devote to solid sessions, it could definitely be for you.

  • Fantastic Game, Amazing Port

    This is my first time playing this game all the way through, but it is such a good game and feels right at home on mobile. It runs surprisingly well, with no frame skip or lag to be seen, it takes up a lot less space than one would expect (a little under 4 gigs) and it’s controls are very smooth and haven’t caused me any issues or annoyances. It also somehow manages not to throttle my battery like so many other games do! For the price it’s going for I would say this is a steal and would definitely recommend it!
