The thrill of the hunt is calling. Begin your hunting adventure now! Hunt monsters in the real world: Embark on a global quest to track down and hunt some of the most formidable monsters from the Monster Hunter universe as they appear in our world. Forge powerful weapons and team up with fellow hunters to track down larger-than-life monsters and take them head-on. Authentic hunting action carefully adapted to mobile: Discover a variety of monsters depending on the habitat around you – Forest, Desert or Swamp – and engage in thrilling hunts solo, or band together with fellow hunters to take on these large monsters. The simplified tap-based controls and high-fidelity graphics enable you to engage in enjoyable hunting action wherever you go. See monsters around you with the AR Camera: Experience what it’s like to have these iconic monsters appear in the real world with exclusive AR Camera features. Master the hunt in 75 seconds: Can you complete the hunt within 75 seconds? Master the weapons, craft armor sets and hone your skills – exploit weaknesses and utilize every element at your disposal to take on the hunt. Mark monsters even with your phone in the pocket: With Adventure Sync, you can use a Paintball to track monsters while you explore your town and bring the hunt to your doorstep afterwards. As you explore, your Palico can mark passing monsters with Palico Paintballs, even while you aren’t actively playing, allowing you to return to them later, ensuring that the action never stops.

Best mobile game I’ve ever played

I’ve been playing since September of last year which was a year ago and I’m so close to HR 150 I have 3 grade nines 2 of which are one upgrade away from grade 10 which I already have one of so I’m doing pretty good. But unlike most players I actually started playing Monster Hunter games with this one this game is really fun I play it with my dad every day and it’s a great way to bond with him. A few more things I have nine star enemies now but sadly I have trouble soloing them so my dad and brother help I’m the best out of them but I stared before them and I carried my dad until he got to grade fours then he could do his own but my brother got to be carried by me and my dad and my and him already had grade 8s so he got to grade 5s instantly but I’m the only one with 9 stars so I basically am the best. Lastly I love each update and appreciate each one and I’m fine with the dimensional links being in my circle but I got a lot more sixes but that wasn’t as fun because I love grinding in this game and first aid meds aren’t a problem if I die I wait to heal. If you are still reading this just know that no matter how much hate this game may get I will always love you guys for making so much memories for me I will always support your work and will always be positive about everything you do for it. PS: I now play Rise and 4 ultimate and I think that you guys should add switch axe as the next weapon thank you goodbye have a great life. :)

Amazing Game, One Issue.

I love this game. I’ve always loved games like Pokémon GO, they’re just fun to me. However, unlike Pokémon GO, this game doesn’t just warn you about playing while driving, it entirely restricts your gameplay if you’re moving too fast. The idea is to stop people from playing and driving, but in reality, this only hurts passengers. Even if you hit the “I am not a driver” prompt, your gameplay remains restricted. Drivers can just be jerks on the road, holding at a light longer than they should just to continue playing. But passengers have no control over whether or not they can play the game at all. Please, for the sake of everyone who plays this awesome game, change this. I’d rather the speed warning appear every 5 seconds and annoy me repeatedly than not be able to play at all, especially because, also unlike Pokémon GO, when you sit still, there’s no way for you to do anything, you have to just wait until a monster spawns on you. In Pokémon GO, there’s incense. In JW Alive, there’s scents. In MH Now, there’s nothing, no way of attracting monsters to you more often. I rarely walk anywhere because I don’t have the freedom and time to walk, so I’m always either unable to play because I’m sitting still and there’s nothing to do, or unable to play because I’m moving too fast even though I’m just a passenger 95% of the time.

Great but not without its flaws

I’ve been a fan of the series since Tri. I was skeptical when I heard there was going to be a mobile game by the people who made PoGo, PB and Ingress. While I play a lot of PoGo, the combat in the game is some of the worst I’ve ever played. Since MH is even more combat basedI was nervous. Needless to say, I was surprised at how intuitive the combat was for a game you play with one finger. The game has a lot of potential.The issues I have with the game are: neither of my main 3 weapons are in the game. The difficulty spike happens suddenly, you’d think gathering points would be 1 to 1 with pokestops, but they aren’t and it takes forever to gather what you need. If you live in rural areas, don’t even try this game, you’ll drop it after a week cuz you’ll have an inventory full of monster parts but no plants, ore or bones. They try to remedy this with random scattered materials but it’s not enough and chances are you won’t get what you need. They almost definitely put less processing power to this game. It thinks I'm in a car when even my avatar is standing still. Items are hella expensive and there’s not much of a selection. They could absolutely add more and they could also have added other materials to collect so you can craft your own items like potions instead of buying them or just hoping you get them from rank ups. But I digress. I’m giving it 4 stars because, again, it has potential to even surpass PoGo in gameplay. But it has a lot to fix

Thank you for playing Monster Hunter Now. Key Updates: ・Ongoing exchange hubs have been added to the obtainable locations list shown in the details screen when viewing materials, and you may now also directly exchange from this screen. ・Friend Link invitation notifications will now be shown on all screens, not just the main screen and the hunt preparation screen. ・Adjustments made to some of the switch axe's actions.
