"What started out as a Nintendo 3DS title with basic graphics has transformed into an impressive Japanese role-playing game series, with the latest entry taking another step on the latest consoles. I had a chance to play it as part of Capcom's TGS by the Bay event. From the get-go, the new entry looks like the best one yet with visuals that feel like a playable anime. The campaign focuses on the Rangers, a group of riders focused on environmental conservation."
"The key is knowing the monster and countering with the rock to their scissor. The later entries add in more complexities, and that's included in "Twisted Reflection." Players will be able to attack different body parts of the creature. The edge of a weapon will matter as blunt, piercing and slashing weapons also have advantages against certain enemies and their sections. Players also have skills, which act almost like spells complete a stamina bar that drains with each use."
Monster Hunter Stories evolved from a Nintendo 3DS title with basic graphics into a polished Japanese role-playing game on modern consoles. Visuals present a playable-anime aesthetic. Players assume the Prince or Princess of Azuria, captain of the Rangers and rider of a rare Rathalos. The campaign centers on Rangers, a group of riders dedicated to environmental conservation, and features characters Simon, Thea, and the Palico Rudy. The demo involves investigating Crystal Encroachment, an environmental corruption affecting creatures. Combat preserves rock–scissor–paper choices of power, speed, and technical attacks while adding targetable body parts, weapon edge advantages, skills consuming stamina, and a Kinship Gauge.
