Monster Hunter Now: Everything You Already Know

MHNow quickly reached 10 Million Downloads Globally

Introduction

Hunters, the moment we've all been waiting for has arrived! Monster Hunter Now, the highly-anticipated mobile game, is now available on iOS and Android. It's time to step out into the real world and embark on thrilling monster-hunting adventures. I'm ThrillBone, but you can call me TBone, and I'm here to take you on an exhilarating journey through Monster Hunter Now.

One of the burning questions since the game's release is why choose Monster Hunter Now over the multitude of other mobile games available? Well, the answer lies in the incredible dedication and craftsmanship that went into creating this game. It's not just another run-of-the-mill mobile game; it's a fully-fledged Monster Hunter experience.

A Grueling Path to Perfection

The journey to bring Monster Hunter Now to our mobile devices was no cakewalk. The development team faced numerous challenges, especially when it came to ensuring that the monsters in the game behaved naturally, akin to their counterparts in the Monster Hunter series.

It's important to acknowledge the developers, such as Genki and Susano, who previously worked on the Monster Hunter Frontier, a critically acclaimed online MMORPG that debuted on PC in 2007 and later on Xbox in 2010. While this game was limited to certain regions (Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau), it thrived with updates and expansions, introducing unique monsters and their own distinct movesets. Monster Hunter Now draws inspiration from Frontier's success and provides a captivating gameplay experience.

Weapons of Choice

The core of any Monster Hunter game lies in its weaponry, and Monster Hunter Now is no exception. Currently, there are six weapon types to choose from, each with its own unique mechanics and playstyle:

  • Long Sword
  • Great Sword
  • Sword and Shield
  • Lance
  • Hammer
  • Bow

While these weapons are faithful to the core Monster Hunter experience, there's hope that we might see more weapon types introduced in the future, so stay tuned for updates. After all, the game is ever-evolving.

Monsters: Familiar Faces and More

As for the monsters, Monster Hunter currently boasts an impressive roster of all iconic creatures, including Jyuratodus, Great Jagras, Barroth, Diablos, Legiana, Pukei-Pukei, Great Girro, Anjanath, Rathalos, Kulu-Ya-Ku, and Paolumu. However, the excitement doesn't stop here. The game's developers have exciting plans to introduce brand-new monsters that have yet to grace the Monster Hunter series. The future is brimming with exciting possibilities!

The Path to Mastery

Monster Hunter Now offers a well-designed progression system. As you delve deeper into the game, you'll need to master various weapons and armor sets, each tailored for specific combat scenarios. The game's difficulty increases as you progress, providing a satisfying challenge.

However, the key to success in the game lies in your ability to break monster parts, time your attacks, and anticipate the creatures' moves. With each hunt, you'll learn more about the monsters' behaviors, making it essential to adapt your gear and tactics for each encounter.

Grinding is part and parcel of the Monster Hunter experience, and in Monster Hunter Now, it's no different. While it can be a bit of a challenge to obtain certain materials for gear upgrades, especially in later ranks, the grind keeps you engaged and invested in the game.

Multiplayer Adventures

Multiplayer is where the real fun begins in Monster Hunter Now. While local multiplayer is the name of the game for now, it's a thrilling way to team up with friends or random players nearby to tackle formidable monsters together. The hunts become more efficient and enjoyable when you band together with fellow hunters.

In-Game Transactions

One concern often raised with mobile games is microtransactions. In Monster Hunter Now, you have the option to purchase certain in-game items and enhancements. These include paintballs for saving monsters to hunt later, Wander Wars to increase your access range to the field, Wander Pebbles for a shorter duration, zenny for upgrading weapons and gear, and more. The choice to make in-game purchases is entirely up to you, but many players have found the game perfectly enjoyable without spending real money.

Suggestions for the Future

As with any game, there's always room for improvement and innovation. Here are a few suggestions for making Monster Hunter Now even more exciting:

  1. Friend List Functionality: Enable the ability to team up with friends for a more connected hunting experience.
  2. SOS Flares: Implement SOS flares to allow hunters from all over the world to join in on the hunt, promoting global collaboration.
  3. Weapon Loadouts: Create loadouts for armor and weapon sets to streamline gear selection for various monsters.
  4. Wishlists: Let players wishlist gear pieces and notify them when they collect the required materials.
  5. Layered Armor: Add layered armor sets to allow players to customize their appearance while maintaining the functionality of their chosen gear.

Monster Hunter Now has taken the essence of the Monster Hunter series and condensed it into an accessible, on-the-go adventure. The game's focus on short, action-packed hunts makes it an excellent choice for mobile gamers who crave quick, exciting gameplay. The thrill of the hunt, the challenge of the monsters, and the joy of upgrading gear all make this a captivating experience.

Are you playing Monster Hunter Now? If so, share your thoughts, experiences, and your wish list for the game. Monster Hunter Now has brought the world of hunting to our fingertips, and it's time for us to embark on thrilling adventures in the palm of our hands.
