Monster Hunter Stories Reviews
Being able to adapt the heart of Monster Hunter into a turn-based RPG is Monster Hunter Stories' biggest success.
Capcom's monster-collecting Monster Hunter spinoff manages to set itself apart from the crowd.
Monster Hunter Stories is a Monster Hunter game distilled down to a more simple level, but still retains what makes the games fun.
Monster Hunter Stories may look and sound like a traditional Monster Hunter title, but underneath that veneer is a deep monster collecting game that surprises in its breadth, with cartoonish graphics and a kid-friendly story to boot.
Monster Hunter Stories is a refreshing take on the popular series that is a surprisingly fun romp. Certain aspects can feel repetitive and drawn out and the campaign can feel rushed and tropish at times. A fun monster-raising mechanic, however, combined with plenty of stuff to do, makes this a solid JRPG for folks of all ages. If you like a more RPG-ish take on Monster Hunter or enjoy games like Pokemon, this is one spin-off game that you’ll want to ride on.
Monster Hunter Stories embodies all the good things about the Monster Hunter saga and presents them in a monster RPG package. The game is very rich on content to explore and its amazing visual details and challenging combat system will keep the players entertained for many, many hours. Monster Hunter Stories may not be full of unexpected surprises but it is full of reasons to wander into it.

Capcom's spin-off of the Monster Hunter series makes for a surprisingly enjoyable turn-based RPG on Nintendo 3DS, merging addictive mechanics with cutesy graphics.
A solid if not earth-shattering turn-based take on the Monster Hunter world, tapping into aspects that make the Final Fantasy and Pokémon franchises enjoyable
In this wild and wonderful world of eight different regions, 61 unique Monsties and over 200 quests to complete you will never feel as if there is nothing to do or accomplish.
Monster Hunter Stories stays true to the world of Monster Hunter while telling a story that can only be told through an RPG.

Monster Hunter Stories is a delightful spin-off package with its on charme that will pull in Pokémon Fans as newcomers alike. The Gameplay mechanics are surprisingly diversified and the amount of Monster Hunter goodness will make some points good with Monster Hunter Veterans despite its lack of challenge and the mediocre sound design.

Monster Hunter Stories is turn-based RPG spinoff of the main series, taking place in its own world with its own expanded lore.
Monster Hunter Stories is a delightful game that surprised the hell out of me. It's pretty, it's fun, it's fresh, and a real departure from the original series but still retains elements to keep it familiar. If you like JRPG's or monster collecting games like Pokemon, Monster Hunter Stories is a must own. Just don't go into the game expecting a traditional style, and you will be surprised with how good it is.
As someone who is terrible at the main series, I really enjoyed Monster Hunter Stories, even if it is a bit easy early on. The more traditional RPG-style of gameplay is a radical departure from what the core games are like, but that doesn't mean it's not worth your time. If you can put aside the fact that this plays rather differently than the past games, you'll find an enjoyable experience for new and returning fans alike.
It's hardly unique in gameplay and story, but what it lacks in uniqueness it makes up for in execution and presentation.
I saw this experience as Monster Hunter meets Pokemon (which are two of my favorite series.) and if you consider yourself a fan of either of these, then you will probably find joy in giving this title a try no matter what age you are.
a game for both returning fans and newcomers to enjoy and seamlessly fawn over.
Monster Hunter Stories is a game that adds to the series a more Japanese style of narration, adding the turn-based combat mode. An awesome RPG for Nintendo 3DS.

Monster Hunter Stories provides fresh air to the Monster Hunter saga with a formula in which humor, turn-based fighting and raise Monsties are the main components. Might not like to bitter fans, but if you are looking for a casual and fun JRPG or you have never played a Monster Hunter game, you'll love it.

A top notch creature collecting RPG that does the Monster Hunter name proud.
