## What is Monster Hunter Stories+?

The Apple Arcade version of this game contains the same content as the Monster Hunter Stories app available elsewhere. Please read the "Important Notes" section before playing.


• Game Features
- Recruit countless Monsties!
Monsties, and the bonds you form with them, are the backbone of your adventure. Explore vast environments and dungeons to find monster dens, and bring back the eggs you find to hatch new Monsties!

- Fight with your Monsties in Network Battles!
Take your hero and the Monsties you've raised into battles with other Riders! Build a team of your favorites to challenge other players.

- New features for the smartphone version!
New improvements include beautiful high-resolution graphics, improved user interface, and a new auto-save feature!

• Story
The story begins in a forest near the village of Riders. Three young friends—the hero, Lilia, and Cheval—stumble upon a shining egg.

The trio perform a playful imitation of the Rite of Kinship, only to be shocked when it actually succeeds!

The egg hatches, revealing a baby Rathalos, a flying wyvern also known as "the King of the Skies." The trio affectionately name him "Ratha," and take him back to the village.

A year passes...

The hero receives a Kinship Stone from the Village Chief and officially becomes a Rider. Cheval and Lilia both leave the village, each on their own path. The hero, though separated now from childhood friends, partners up with the cheerful Navirou, and embarks upon a new adventure into the world of hunters.

### 1/5 — Graphics

*2024-12-27*

Graphics don’t have much detail, gets repetitive. Paid for game is 25 dollars.

### 1/5 — Controller

*2024-12-25*

This game needs controller support

### 5/5 — AMAZING! IT MADE MY LIFE BETTER, BUT…………….

*2024-10-25*

Okay, so It’s a great game, but I’m having problems. A month ago, It kept crashing every 20 minutes and now it won’t let me in! I tap on the app, and nothing happens! Sure it’s old, but it’s not so old that you can’t get in! Is it, secretly discontinued or something?

### 3/5 — My data ( new version)

*2024-10-22*

So I’ve written a review before on this but it’s serious now because I’ve tried for a long time now to get my data back I had 60+ hours in to this game I played it day I was lv 67 I’m not happy because I have lost all my data and please reply cap because this game and the paid version need a update please update this game it could be really good if it had a update again.

### 5/5 — This was beautiful

*2024-10-08*

So let me tell you a story. I had never seen anything called monster hunter before. I got the game because it looked fun. I got into the game and didn’t think much of it and BOY was I wrong. This game has pretty good graphics and I love the rock paper scissors mechanic. The main story is absolutely BEAUTIFUL. I had never seen anything like it. And honestly if you’re reading this and you haven’t gotten the game yet. GET IT. It will be the best decision of your life but that’s just my personal opinion and to the developers of this game Thank you for sharing this experience with me

### 1/5 — The game

*2024-09-30*

I HATE DAN HE IS A PECIE OF TARSH IT IS RIGGED AGAINST YOU

### 4/5 — Love the game but crashes are the worst.

*2024-07-26*

Hey guys or girls your game is honestly one of my favorite games on my iPad love the monsters and gameplay is peak but I have one compliant, the game keeps crashing every single hour or so and I keep losing my progress and monsties and I had just gotten a diablos and gave it poison spike from a rathian and right after the game crashed and I lost the diablos, it wasn’t even in the egg carton so I tried to get to get the diablos again by using a quropeco and it gave me a black diablos multiple times until I gave up. Here’s what I want you to do FIX THE CRASHES if you do I will change the rating to five stars.

### 4/5 — My data

*2024-07-20*

I recently just reset my iPad but I saved all the games data to the cloud know I can’t get my data back that game I good and the bosses are a bit to powerful can you nerf them but I can’t get my data back I’m not happy please respond if you can 👍.

### 3/5 — Fun, colourful, enjoyable — please add controller, fix “save crash”

*2024-07-10*

I’m quite enjoying MHStories+. It’s fun to play with a saturated colour scheme for lots of “eye candy”. Please add controller support. This is the first game in Apple Arcade I’ve played that’s made me want to get a controller…. but seems not to be supported……? One caution: SAVEs usually succeed but 80% of the time the game crashes whether I’m saving “at home” or using a Catavan stand. As said, about 80% of the time the game crashes and needs a relaunch. About 1% of the “crashes” I need to restore using the Autosave because the regular save didn’t work so I’d suggest if you have a crash, make sure the restore worked properly. Would have more star⭐️s with these fixed.

### 4/5 — Pls add 1 more heart

*2024-07-03*

I keep on dying and my monstes
