• Story
The story begins in a forest near the village of Riders. Three young friends—the hero, Lilia, and Cheval—stumble upon a shining egg.

The trio perform a playful imitation of the Rite of Kinship, only to be shocked when it actually succeeds!

The egg hatches, revealing a baby Rathalos, a flying wyvern also known as "the King of the Skies." The trio affectionately name him "Ratha," and take him back to the village.

Days later, without warning, the village is beset upon by a monster infected by "the Black Blight." They manage to drive it away, but not before it devastates the town—and leaves indelible scars in the hearts of Cheval and Lilia.

A year passes...

The hero receives a Kinship Stone from the Village Chief and officially becomes a Rider. Cheval and Lilia both leave the village, each on their own path. The hero, though separated now from childhood friends, partners up with the cheerful Navirou, and embarks upon a new adventure into the world of hunters.

A story of friendship and triumph await you—ride on into the world of Monster Hunter Stories!

One major issue plagueing this game. The backup file is non-transferrable. Tried on other devices, emulators and virtualbox - no luck. For new players out there, I recommend starting this game on a device with a huge battery capacity as it is VERY power hungry (my note 9 lasts for about 3 hours). I spent more time waiting for my phone to charge and cool down than actually playing the game.Turn-based, rock-paper-scissors gameplay with attribute effectiveness (water beats fire, etc.) Edit: The game crashes occassionally with some minor loss of data. No biggie.

Great game! I been playing MH since I was a kid on PSP, I recently just completed MH World and I wanted more so I purchase this game at first sight. It's almost like a pokemon-style gameplay which is nostalgic, the graphics are kinda cartoony but the original one on the PSP has poor resolution so come on guys it's the gameplay that matters. The controls can be quite awkward due to the fact that the analog keeps moving around, other than that it's a pretty decent game I really hope there future contents being released!

Please make this game able to start up and load in airplane mode. It doesn't make sense when the single player story mode can be played in airplane mode but requires data connection to start up the game! I'm coming from the perspective of someone who travels frequently and doesn't always have data connectivity. If you don't want to fix this, I demand a full refund!
