BAD

It is so hard to move to go fight because I want to fight monsters but it doesn’t let me move to the monsters so 1 star

Often CRASHES

Game used to be smooth running, but it must've been around 3-4 months ago that my game will crash RIGHT BEFORE we win a group hunt, so I waste all my ressources for essentially no rewards. Please fix this issue.

Great fun but app breaks constantly

This is a super fun game but ever since this last update, my app force closes constantly. I was finally able to defeat the new elder dragon on the 4th attempt because the game literally crashed three times in a row during the fight and just randomly force closes once every 5-7 minutes. The game is super fun but it is also probably the buggiest mobile game I have played, hence why I can’t give it a full five stars.

FAQ

What is Monster Hunter Now?

Monster Hunter Now is a mobile game that allows you to hunt monsters from the Monster Hunter universe in the real world. You can track monsters, team up with friends for hunts, craft weapons and armor, and utilize augmented reality features to see monsters in your surroundings.

How do I hunt monsters in the game?

You can hunt monsters by exploring your real-world environment, where monsters will appear based on their habitats. Engage in thrilling hunts using simplified tap-based controls. Hunts are designed to be completed within 75 seconds, requiring you to master weapons and exploit monster weaknesses.

Is Monster Hunter Now free to play?

Yes, the game is free to download and play. However, it does offer in-app purchases, which can be used to acquire items or enhance your gameplay experience.

Can I play with friends?

Absolutely. You can team up with fellow hunters to take on larger and more formidable monsters together. This cooperative element is a core part of the hunting experience.

How does the Adventure Sync feature work?

Adventure Sync allows you to mark monsters even when the app is not actively open. Your Palico companion can use Paintballs to mark passing monsters as you explore. You can then return to these marked monsters later for a hunt, ensuring the action continues even when you're not playing.
