2023-07-13	den i	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!
2021-02-08	Jonathan Lee	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.
2020-02-16	A Google user	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.
2019-12-19	A Google user	Great game overall but the unability to save manually makes it terrible, if you have to put the app in background and it's still running it will reset to main menu and you loose all the progress from last pre determined save. It's a mobile app you should be able to close it and pick up where you left off whenever you want to.
2019-10-12	A Google user	The gameplay is alright. A turn based affair where you and your "monstie" fight together to beat some snarky velociraptor look-alikes for most of the first section of the game. I think the gameplay presents itself as shallow whilst hiding some depth, but it's not really all that intuitive. Most of the time I'm trying to guess what my pet velociraptor will do, which is the main reason I die. All in all, it's an alright turn based RPG set in Monster Hunter.
2019-07-19	A Google user	looks like it has good potential to be a very fun game. the major limiting factor for me has been the limitee autosaving and ease at which it forces you ti reload the game if it needs to be minimized. Mobile games need to be very flexible with how you play. they should pause automatically when minimised, and run in the background well. if it does close you shouldn't lose progress. i had to replay some of the opening story gameplay literally 6 or 7 times because i kept having to stop playing.
2019-06-05	A Google user	First off, on my Samsung Note 8 the game looks so good! plays very smooth and i am enjoying the cute characters and storyline. i got my first monstie and when it goes to exploring on my own for the first time the game will glitch, pop up what looks like dos saying "MHST Reset". Then it resets and I have to start BACK at the start of the first open area. so its not saving auto even though its on! :( please fix in next update! my software is up to date as of this review 6/4/19
2019-06-02	A Google user	would give it 5 bc its really cute and fun but it makes my phone restart randomly and frequently... this issue only occurs when i play the game and has never happened before this game or when im not playing it. I've fought the same monster multiple times on quite a few occasions and it's very frustrating and makes me hesitant to buy the other game for $20. I really hope this gets fixed somehow if possible because i really enjoy the game otherwise!
2019-03-09	A Google user	had an amazing experience. the ONLY downfall, was finishing this and finding out it was only the trial version right when everything got good. definitely contemplating on buying the full version. love the fact that there is no energy to spend and you go as long as you want. it's like a REAL gamecube game smashed into a phone. 5/5 10/10 100/100 all day!!!
2019-02-21	A Google user	I'm enjoying it and love Monster Hunter on Console but the pace is a bit slow and I'm disappointed that its turn based rather then a hack n slash kinda thing with awesome skills. It just seems like they made it very child friendly and doesn't have the excitement of the other monster hunter style games. Also I'm dreading the tutorial being over as I'd NEVER pay 20 dollars for a turn based game. especially when I can play similar games for free. I'd pay 4.99 at most.
