Here are some screenshots of the game.
I knew of this games existence on the Nintendo 3DS, but wasn’t really interested in playing it at the time. I then picked this up on sale, and then proceeded to play through the whole thing after thinking it was gonna be a mediocre time. It’s pretty fun overall, and definitely exciting that it exists on arcade. There are more than a few annoying difficulty spikes, but like monster Hunter proper, it’s super satisfying once you figure out how to win the battle. The story is pretty dumb, but the game play is pretty good. It definitely was worth my time as a fun mobile game distraction. On a more negative note, the save system in this game is poor. It’s fine when you remember to save as saving at save points isn’t a new concept, but a better auto save REALLY needs to be implemented. As this is a mobile game and not a DS game anymore, there were more than a few times where I got distracted and put my phone down, forgetting to save. I’d then come back to the game, only to discover it got kicked out of RAM and that I’d lost a lot of progress. Please implement a proper autosave system so that fewer people run into this issue, cause it puts a damper on a really good game.
So I got this after playing the demo of MH Stories 2 on the Nintendo Switch, obviously I didn’t expect it to be the same, but I at least wanted to be able to use a controller to play the first game in the Monster Hunter Stories series, but I looked around in the game and literally could not find a setting for that? Fortunately I have an Apple TV, I thought if I could find the game on there, then they will have to let me use a controller, and after searching for the game for about half an hour, I found that the game simply does not exist on the Apple TV?! By now I was frustrated, I tried to see if I could find a settings menu that maybe I missed the first time around so that maybe I could change the god-awful default controls, and there is literally NO SETTINGS MENU?!? HOW?! WHO THOUGHT THAT WAS A GOOD IDEA?!? There is no way to change any settings in the game, I know it sounds crazy, but if somehow missed it after deliberately searching everywhere for it, they need to make it easier to find. I hope I’m just being stupid and missed a settings menu, because I can’t stand using the weird touchscreen joysticks that drag the joysticks around if your finger goes too far away, it’s just so ridiculous…
The game itself is great, a lot of fun and I would definitely recommend it. However, I have just experienced the save glitch that I see a few others have dealt with. I am one of those people that pretty much hits a save point after every little thing because I’m super paranoid. So it was definitely frustrating to load the game and find out that I was set back quite a few saves actually 😖. If it’s something that ends up happening alot then it’s most definitely going to turn me off the game. I mean I spent some time leveling up these monsters and now the one that I need the most is all the way back to level one 🤦♀️. I couldn’t find a contact us button anywhere in the game to get any help. Just be warned, if you’re not going to want to deal with that, I can’t say how often it might happen.
I am rating this title FIVE whole stars simply because it deserves such a rating. Plainly put, this is one of the greatest, most engaging RPG titles I have ever played. The fact that I played through the entire game on my small iPhone is a testament to how far gaming has come. I’m super happy I discovered Apple Arcade, and I sincerely hope that Apple plans to pick up and release any sequels to this game. If so, I will DEFINITELY be buying. This is the nicest review I have ever written lol, trust me, this game is amazing. Especially if you enjoyed Pokémon. Kinda’ childish in the plot department but at the end of the day you’re slaying monsters so… There’s a trade off there. It’s cute, super fun and engaging. It kept me playing the whole way through and now I’m working on endgame stuff. Hope to see the second game up to play soon!
Hey! So I have a question… or suggestion same ol’ same ol’ but a while back I got the normal version of ur monster hunter stories game and then I saw this that would let me do network battles and all that stuff so I got it buuuuuut, I realized I had to start the game all over again. There is no way to transfer my progress from that game to the plus version. I love the story and all but if there was a way to transfer my progress that would be phenomenal. So ya I love the story and everything but I already have over a hundred hours on the first monster hunter so if u guys could save me from all the leveling chores and rebuilding and leveling armor and equipment that would be great! Thanks for reading and I hope u consider and do what I’ve asked. I appreciate it!!!
I’ve got several hours of monster hunter beginnings play time that should be loadable so I can skip a bit of storyline in this game, but when I try to load the backup, it says it can’t load it. Would happily give 5 stars if I find out I didn’t just waste several days of playtime. I’ve already sent in a tech support request, so hopefully someone gets to it soon. I really don’t want to go through the exp and item grinding I just did all over again. Update: just received a response from tech support saying that the upload perk isn’t available for the Apple Arcade version and then had the nerve to say it was only available for the *paid* version, like having Apple Arcade is free or something… lowering the star rating now. The only reason it’s getting even the one star is because the game is playable. Customer support is rude and the claim of it being the same as the $20 version is clearly and demonstratively false.
This game is really cool and fascinating how all the monsters are different and unique in their own special ways and how to fight is very complex and interesting and I love how to one of the best RPG’s I’ve ever played but besides that I wish they put monster hunter stories two in because well I know this is the first one which hasn’t updated that much but when I put the second one on mobile for people who can’t get it to play it cause I would love that really know I wish they put Anjanath in the game though and other types of monsters as well from monster hunter stories two
Hello to who ever maybe reading this! I was reading the details of the newer version of Monster Hunter Stories when I saw the sentence “can only scan QR codes created for the plus edition”. Which seems very stupid ( no hard feelings to whomever is reading) this would mean recreating over 30+ codes which is very unlikely that someone would actually do this! So please either make a way for the use of the original codes or remove the feature. I played both the 3DS and non plus version so I really like this game and the QR exclusive items. If it is not possible that is understandable, I just wanted to say my thoughts!
So I figured I watched the video the game seems cool and all looks exactly the same as monster hunter 2 but less graphics and I was thinking 🤔 it would be better to play this game since it’s free for me since my parents got me the subscription of Apple Arcade but enough about that if I keep talking I’m sure I’m not gonna get to the real point which is if only the game had like more realistic graphics it would be so much better like incredible and if it had an adventure sequel slash um 😕 I forgot well good game just wish had better graphics
It’s so close to being good. I’m thankful there’s a “full” rpg on Apple Arcade besides oceanhorn now, albeit with noticeably less effort put into art design, but the frustrating touch controls and constant double tapping went out of style years ago. To say nothing of the world’s most annoying companion cat, constantly interrupting with the same stupid prompts. As if pausing for battle prompts every two and a half seconds (if you remember to 3x the speed, that is) wasn’t bad enough, the over five-hour long tutorial stretch with carpet bombs of “tips”, and a practically nonexistent autosave (for a mobile game!!!) would lead a lesser man to put an iPhone 12 Pro Max-shaped hole in the wall.
Monster Hunter Stories came on the Apple Arcade platform. This is not a new game, but this is a very good game. Lot of things you can do in the game, very good to play on the phone. Definitely a must play game. Here is the First video of this Cool ga...
Monster Hunter Stories came on the Apple Arcade platform. This is the 2nd Video for the Main Story. The is the exploring on the Pondry Hills Area. Look for Golden Den and Blue Yian Kut-Ku, it is strong and good for early stage.
