Man versus monsters
Monster Hunter Rise is an action RPG that lets you hunt down unique yet deadly creatures. You'll visit Kamura Village and follow the story of a young hunter who must protect its inhabitants against ferocious monstrosities. Your task is to track down and hunt dangerous monsters, including Nargacuga (the master of speed), Zinogre (the physical manifestation of lightning), and Great Baggi, which can stun its prey.
Hunter's arsenal
Monsters have cutting claws and sharp teeth, but a monster hunter is not vulnerable either. You'll find 14 weapons in your arsenal. Attack with swords, dual blades, or lances and keep your distance thanks to projectile weapons such as bowguns. Moreover, with each monster slain, you'll gain ingredients that let you craft new arms and upgrade your gear. The Wirebug is yet another monster hunter's friend. This unique insect produces a particularly durable filament. A warrior may use it to perform stunning moves, such as a wiredash and a wall run. It also allows you to unleash special attacks.
Ride into the battle
Once again, a cat-like Palicoe provides the hunter with invaluable support. However, it's not the only companion in Monster Hunter Rise. The new type of buddy is called Palamute. You'll ride on this wolf-like creature's back and use its help during battles.
Don't hunt alone
Monster Hunter Rise offers a lot of quests. Village Quests are single-player-only missions, while Hub Quests and tower defense-like Rampage Quests can be played solo or in multiplayer as well. The difficulty of a task adapts dynamically depending on the number of players. Therefore, quests are always challenging, but they're never too hard.
A powerful expansion
Improve your experience with Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak, a huge and powerful DLC. Get ready for a whole new level of fun with a new campaign, new locations, never-before-seen monsters, unique items, and even fresh gameplay mechanics. Sunbreak will take you on a new story campaign set on Elgado.
