Better mechanically than any Pokemon game I've played. Fulfills my desire to play a monster hunter game where I can do more than just kill the monsters, since I really like all of their designs.

Pokemon con dragones, aunque ya había dragones en pokemon pero estos no te miran con cara de uwu.

I think anything I could say on this game would have some bias because I've been obsessed with it since 2018, but it's a well-constructed monster collector with cute art, surprisingly fun writing and characters, and 100 whole Poogies. Unparalleled.

The best pokemon-monster hunter mash-up we-re gonna get. Simple yet cool and satisfying turn-based mechanics. The in-game rival is also really good (Silver from Pokemon Gold vibes)

Kill the parent, steal their eggs, ???


I did not know I needed pokemon x monster hunter in my life until I got it, so based

The game is just alright, but I love the amiibo that Capcom released to go along with this. You can take the riders off the monsters and switch them around. It's neat.

Eu amei jogar esse jogo, conheci a franquia por ele, e eu pretendo rejogar em breve

Even though I had to restart once I persevered and it was much more enjoyable than my first playthrough.

Don’t play after playing the second one because it’s not nearly as good

If Pokemon is for kids, this is for fetuses.

Really wanted a pet Nargacuga, and idk how you can't keep my attention with that sell, but yeah, not pushing through this one. Too tedious/repetitive, and features the same mindless farming of the main MH series, but without a solid gameplay loop behind it. Dialogue is eye roll worthy, but tbh I don't think I'm the game's main demographic.

★½ – Unplayable ❌

I like the emphasis on story compared to the mainline series although it didn't really still out to me compared to other RPGs.

So fun and builds on Pokemon's ideas to make an even more engaging battle system.

My main issue with this game is the combat. There's clearly more to it than what is shown the surface but the game never really bothers to explain those aspects. For most of the game, it felt like the game only had normal type mons with very few other elemented monster, something that other monster-catching games also face. Also feels more grindy than your average RPG, and that's coming from someone who unintentionally beat the game under-levelled. Most quests are also repetitive.

Didn't quite finish it, but I spent like 50 hours in it back in the day, so that counts for something. Art style is super cute, and I'll probably pick up the remaster, or play the sequel.

Best game ever, I ABSOLUETLY recommand it and just enjoy the nostalgia. Even the post game is extreamely good and the way to catch new monsters is just fabulous.

Bought on a whim and glad i did. Such a fun monster collector and a great set up for the amazing sequel.

Just a really nice game where monsters are seen as monsters, but are actually kind creatures (this makes me really think of How to Train your Dragon!), with who you can become friends and fight evil.

A fantastic idea, with great presentation, but rough around the edges and doesn't QUITE hit the mark. Thankfully, the sequel -despite suffering from development issues due to covid - exists, which addresses most of these problems. Phew!

Un bon spin-off à la "Pokémon".

Very enjoyable game though there admittedly is little reason to play it these days thanks to its sequel

Got about 3/5 of the way through and felt like I'd had enough during the grindier parts.

It has a lot of charm, and does some stuff really well. Narratively, it's on par or slightly above most pokemon games and it does a pretty good job of delivering an alternative to MH that is more welcoming for people who wouldnt otherwise like them or couldn't play that sort of thing.

I did eventually get tired of the mechanic and since the monsters featured only had a small handful of ones I really wanted to collect(and did easily), plus the narrative not being altogether that interesting to be absolutely compelling, I decided to put it down. It did increase difficulty, but not in a way that was fun. It's a lot of guesswork going into rock paper scissoring your way through the combat to then get to another scene. rinse and repeat. And since the scenes were a little flat, albeit stronger than some others and without a ton of real motivation to collect monsters, that's what made me drop it.

The central battle idea is an ever-shifting version of pokemon types, with some strengths and advantages brought over from MH along with turn-to-turn advantages you get by trying to trounce the enemy's attacks. This held my interest a lot longer than if it had been a simpler JRPG style battle system.

It's interesting enough I might eventually play MHS2 but it'd be pretty disappointing if there weren't some major improvements to the story or some increased hook to it.


un juego que me sorprendio mucho, un amigo me intento meter en mh una banda pero la saga principal me frustra un monton al punto de que le deje un trauma cranico a toda mi familia, pero vi que estaba este spinoff tipo pokemon y decidi darle chance, tiene un sistema de combate de piedra papel o tijera bastante original, la historia es simple pero es como jugar un pokemon PERO SIN SACAR PURA MIERDA CADA POCO TIEMPO, aparte lo podes jugar en celular, una locura.

Enjoyed it from what I can remember.
(played on IOS and 3DS)

A fun romp through the monster hunter universe. A beautifully rendered world with a lot of silliness and charm. I thought the combat was terrible but pretty easy to power through, exploration and egg hunting and party building were fine.
