It’s fun and works

Good game nice addition if you play Pikmin and Pokemon since it’s from the same comp. Issue I have, play to point where need to have friends to kill stuff and we’ll all the friends I have don’t help. Since can’t play solo delete the heap.

First bug

Ran into my first bug, shop is blank and freezes my game. Still good game though

Fun mobile game

Very close to the original MH series, fun playing with friends all over the world or going solo! Amazing weapon choices and so many FTP options and events on!

Arreglen esto por favor

Todo está bien, pero hay que estar moviéndose saliendo a la calle y no me gusta eso, xq entonces no podría jugarlo a toda hora, si quisiera estar en mi casa el juego debería tener un jocktis o algo así como se diga para poder mover el personaje sin tener que moverme yo, así el juego sería más entretenido

Frustratingly good

I absolutely enjoy 90% of this game for what it is. The combat is well thought out and has a decent (lengthy) grind for materials as you can’t target specific part to break. It just adds an additional slot for dropped materials that are randomized. The passes and event quests are worth it to add effects or more grinds for materials. My issue is with the potions. It is incredibly frustrating to have to spend gems on potions instead of crafting them as you normally would. It actively makes me not want to play the game because spending gems on a potion is not worth it just to keep playing. If I am knocked down by a monster, at least let me attempt another fight at 1 hp still while not able to actively continue the fight I was downed from. Get knocked down from a weird hitbox, can’t continue the Huntathon without spending more gems to buy a potion. While I adore the other 99% of the game, that 1% is starting to make me want to not continue playing. It’s going to be a “quit” moment for me.
I would accept having the permanent carving knife to the season pass again as a secondary option.

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.
