Monster Hunter Stories v1.6.0

Monster Hunter Stories is a unique turn-based RPG that reimagines the world of Monster Hunter by shifting the focus from hunting monsters to raising and bonding with them. In this adventure, you assume the role of a hero born in a village of Monster Riders—individuals who nurture and care for monsters known as Monsties. As you grow from a fledgling Rider into a seasoned warrior, you leave your village to explore a vast world where you must learn to coexist with Hunters, who rely on a very different way of life.

Throughout your journey, you will face challenges that test both your skills and your bonds with your Monsties. The strategic battle system allows you to perform Power, Speed, and Technical attacks. By carefully predicting and countering your enemies’ moves, you fill the Kinship Gauge to unleash powerful abilities and unique Kinship Skills, turning the tide in intense, head-to-head encounters.

Aside from hatching eggs and collecting well-known monsters such as Zinogre, Nargacuga, and Lagiacrus, you’ll also take part in the Rite of Channeling—a ritual that awakens latent abilities in your Monsties, enabling you to raise original creatures capable of taking on formidable foes. The game also offers engaging online features where you can assemble a formidable party of Monsties and test your skills against other players in exciting battles.

Immerse yourself further in this vibrant world with fully voiced narrative dialogue in both Japanese and English. Discover additional bonus content in the museum mode, where more than 200 pieces of concept art—including never-before-seen artwork—and surround sound music tracks provide a deeper look into the legacy and design philosophies of Monster Hunter Stories. The game also comes complete with all post-release updates, adding fan-favorite monsters like Kushala Daora, Teostra, and Rajang, as well as expanded endgame content and customization options for your characters.

Monster Hunter Stories is available both as a standalone title and as part of collections that include Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin. Two bundles are offered—the Monster Hunter Stories Collection (including the standard edition of Wings of Ruin) and the Deluxe Collection (featuring the deluxe edition of Wings of Ruin)—so be sure to check your previous purchases to avoid duplicate outcomes.

Embark on a story of friendship, courage, and the true power of kinship in a world where monsters aren’t just foes to be vanquished, but allies to be cherished. Ride on into the adventure that is Monster Hunter Stories!
