• 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!

as a die-hard Monster Hunter fan, i was VERY happy to discover that the first MHS game was available on mobile! nothing is too buggy, and the graphics and gameplay are very well made. its kind of similar to Pokémon, but instead of simply taming monsters and using them to fight other monsters, you can ride them and fight ALONGSIDE them! i would recommend this game to anybody who likes dragons and creatures since the entire MH series is entirely based around just that!

Smooth, clear, graphics. Great soundtrack and fun battle system. This is my first time ever playing a Monster Hunter game. While I am new to the series and this game, the game quickly drew me in after a couple hours of gameplay. This demo is pretty generous, letting you play the first 3-6 hours of the game for free with no ads or monetization. Once you've completed it, you can transfer your save or even just continue playing without story progression.

This is an AMAZING game! It's like Zelda and Pokemon, but all dinosaurs. I would buy this exact version of the game, but my only complaint that made me uninstall is the fact that it doesn't save right. You see "Autosave" pop up in the bottom right corner, but it doesn't save. I won't play games that don't save, what's the point? So disappointed. I'd rather buy it on the Nintendo Switch so I know it won't have glitches.
