• 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!

I have to say I'm a long time MH fan and this has been one of the best mobile experiences I have had lately. I am having a blast and don't want to put it down. Honestly, the only problem I am having is there an audio problem with the dialogue and music skipping or taking longer than the scene. Especially in battles. Not sure what needs to be done to fix it, however it's annoying and I just turn the sound off at this point. if fixed this will be pretty much perfect.

This experience is awesome to be in a game with qualities that can change. I love the side missions after the main game is beat because it means the game is not over. There is more to do, and honestly, Monster Hunter Stories, which are foe 3ds and mobile phones, should also be on Nintendo Switch. The big difference is that any player would notice that the monsters look realistic and / or scary. But that's okay because we already have the cool, less scary version & definitely want to ride it out.

Loved this game on the 3ds and absolutely love it on mobile. Phone screens have surpassed the 3ds, so the higher resolution is appreciated. I just wish Capcom added more ports to the playstore. Like more monster hunter games, and some megaman games from the DS. And controller compatibility would be a game changer. Because for right now, the best thing I can do is map controls to the touch screen controls.
