Screen controls are fine and all but there are way better ways to play. ### 3/5 — Why? *2025-09-14, version 1.00.05* So I was excited I was gonna play this game. I thought I would get something special because I purchased this with $20. What do I get the same game I can get for free tell me what is the difference ### 4/5 — dragões anciões *2025-07-22* quero os dragões anciões para a doma!!! ### 4/5 — Crashes *2025-07-08, version 1.00.05* Absolutely love this game, but would like to see a fix for the crashes that happen occasionally during battle or just in any instance whenever I put the app in the background. A but frustrating especially when you are in a den and have a rare egg. Otherwise, so glad I found this game. ### 4/5 — 다좋은데 한글화좀 *2025-04-27* 재밌고 그런데 한글화가 안되서 좀 불편하네요 ### 3/5 — Please controller *2025-02-09, version 1.00.05* Controller support please ### 3/5 — Controller support *2024-12-20, version 1.00.05* Please support controllers. Thanks ### 5/5 — Fantastic game *2024-12-05, version 1.00.05* Runs great, looks great. Sometimes loses progress when I switch off the app. Can you add controller support? ### 4/5 — A new update *2024-11-27, version 1.00.05* I played this all the time when I was a kid and now that I found it I wish there was a new update ### 4/5 — No controller support? *2024-11-17, version 1.00.05* Amazing game. Both Stories games are top tier but…no controller support? Really? ### 2/5 — Needs to be updated *2024-06-17, version 1.00.05* The game itself is fine, not a lot of complaints there. It’s fun and enjoyable. The main issue is the lack of controller support. Previously I would have only knocked this for one star but the landscape has changed. With Apple now pushing as a gaming platform, not having controller support is unacceptable. ### 5/5 — Really fun to play and also great for long trips *2024-06-05, version 1.00.05* The game overall is really fun, and can be played without Wi-Fi making it perfect for long trips or flights. However, I do think it's kind of unfair how only the Japanese version got access to Kushala Daora, Rajang and Teostra, the fact that PVP got removed is understandable but now Glavenus is locked behind a wall, but in general, these things are small and the game is still perfect for £5 ### 5/5 — Monster hunter stories is a masterpiece *2024-06-01, version 1.00.05* 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 for 20$ this game is worth it. An amazing combat system.amazing story. And amazing variety of post game content.I also like how you can change your monsties element. I made Tigrex fire,zinnogre dragon.However I would like you to add ver 1.2 and 1.3 to the game translated in English and other languages. pls update this masterpiece with Japan updates translated.pls I would really like Teostra, kushala doara,rajang as monsties pls up date 🥺🙏.also I wouldn’t care if you made the update 5$ or 10$. One last thing pls make glevnus egg fragments free without playing someone else.But overall this game is a masterpiece great job capcom👍 pls read, update to post. up date pls there is no reason not to any more capcom especially sense you just made a remastered version with all Japanese post content in English also game is due for update as most people have beat the main story We gamers need more content. Pls🙏🥺 ### 5/5 — I absolutely love this game! *2024-03-24, version 1.00.05* 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. ### 5/5 — Super Rollenspiel, hoffentlich kommt auch Teil 2 aufs iPhone *2024-03-07* Monster and Stories ist eines der wenigen Handyspiele, das eigentlich gar kein Handyspiel ist. Original released für den Nintendo 3DS, handelt es sich dabei um ein vollwertiges Rollenspiel mit story, vielfältigen Spielmechanik und echter Langzeit Motivation. Dabei gänzlich ohne Mikrotransaktionen oder im Game Währung. Ich hoffe, dass auch Monster Hunter Stories 2 irgendwann auf dem iPhone erscheint. ### 4/5 — Nice game but just some things *2024-03-03, version 1.00.05* Out of 2 monster hunter games on mobile this is probably the better one and it’s great but it hasn’t been updated in a while and since this is apparently getting a remastered version on switch, pc and ps4 it would be nice to update this as well including certain updates that were originally a Japan exclusive update like the addition of certain non monstie monsters being able to become monsties ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Data transfer is trash *2025-05-15* This is a good game and I have no complaints about the gameplay. The complaint I have is about the backup and save data. I backed my data up on this version so save my game and then I downloaded monster hunter stories plus. Of course knowing money hungry apple they discontinued that came so save game gone from there. Fast forward I downloaded this version and try to backup my saved data when I played the paid version . Of course it doesn’t work and now all my progress is gone and was for nothing. Fair warning if you download this game never delete because even if you backup the progress you will still lose hours of gameplay and start from a new game. I’m no longer interested in starting over because this is the third time backup has failed. So I deleted the game. Not worth the headache of restarting over and over again. Thank you apple for being greedy pigs as always. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2025-03-12, version 1.00.05* Since I’m playing on mobile device, I regularly open and close my game. I’ve had my game freeze 3-4 times in a row, and since there’s no way to save unless you’re at home or hit an auto save, I am unable to progress. I really want to play the game but currently am unable to progress much at all. ### 1/5 — Chinese *2024-11-13, version 1.00.05* Chinese Chinese Chinese ### 1/5 — This game is not a complete version！！！ *2024-09-06, version 1.00.05* Capcom did not port all the content of the game to mobile phones. There are many missing contents and there are fewer types of eggs that can be obtained. I suggest that players who see this comment should not buy the game on the mobile platform. There is no guarantee and they will only become victims of genuine products.👎 ### 1/5 — Not worth your money and time *2024-02-24, version 1.00.05* There is no reason to give the English version a good review. The game developers have 5 years to upgrade this game to the new version, but they choose not to do so. The players who purchased this game with 24.99$ have been waiting for 5 years, and what they get is knowing that this game with the newest version and other features will go to other platforms. Awesome. ### 1/5 — Crashes a lot *2024-02-23, version 1.00.05* Game crashes every other time I try and save the game. Very frustrating not being able to play without the worry of crashing. Tried to lower resolution, reinstall the game. Etc. and still crashes ### 1/5 — Need controller compatibility *2023-07-27, version 1.00.05* I’ll give u 5⭐️ ### 1/5 — bruh not downloading *2023-04-09, version 1.00.05* please its not downloading and i been wanting to play this please ### 1/5 — Controller support *2022-11-23, version 1.00.05* Come on Capcom do it ### 1/5 — Home bar *2022-05-22, version 1.00.05* All these years and the home bar still pops up each time you tap the screen to do actions. It’s very annoying and I wish I never paid for this game if the devs were never going to stop it from happening. Lazy. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — backbone compatibility *2026-05-08, version 1.00.05* one of my fav games oat. please make compatible with backbone. thanks ### 5/5 — update it *2026-03-28, version 1.00.05* Quickly update it, support iCloud save data and then support more languages , such as Chinese.I’d be really happy if this game supported iCloud save storage, because then I wouldn’t have to worry about losing my game data when switching phones. ### 5/5 — ELDER DRAGONS *2025-12-01* Por favor adicionem os dragões anciões no game ### 5/5 — I love this game! *2025-11-30, version 1.00.05* I love everything about it also I’m a monster hunter fan . I like that you get to know the monsters better instead of just hunting them. I’d totally recommend this game. There’s an anime based on this game and it’s called monster hunter stories ride on but it’s a shame that nobody I’ve ever met play this game and watch the anime. WARNING !: the anime could spoil the game for you like it did to me ### 5/5 — Plz keep updating *2025-09-24, version 1.00.05* I really want to play the voice with English ### 5/5 — Пожелания *2025-09-14* Ребята вы большие молодцы, сделали качественный порт. Желаю вам всего наилучшего! Оооочень жду порт 2 части. Тем более сейчас думаю большинство телефонов нашего времени смогут её потянуть. А минимальные требования можно опустить думаю максимум 10 iPhone- ну или сами как сможете, как вам лучше. ### 5/5 — Such a good game *2025-06-19, version 1.00.05* Best game for mobile and has such cool monsters it’s just getting them is hard other than that its great🐉 ### 5/5 — Monster Hunter Stories *2025-05-23, version 1.00.05* I wish this supported controllers / Backbone ### 5/5 — Controller support please *2025-03-13, version 1.00.05* Please ### 5/5 — Need controller support *2024-12-31, version 1.00.05* It’s great just needs controller support! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
