Monster Hunter Rise

What the player actually does

Monster Hunter Rise is a third-person action RPG set around Kamura Village, a ninja-inspired land facing a new threat after a long-ago calamity. You play as a hunter: explore maps and lush ecosystems, choose from a variety of weapons, and battle fearsome monsters as the story unfolds. Its listed genres combine adventure, hack-and-slash action, and role-playing, with fantasy and survival themes.

Who will enjoy it

This is suited to players who want combat-focused hunting and exploration rather than a purely story-led adventure. The range of weapons may appeal to people who like finding a fighting style that suits them. It supports single-player play as well as co-operative and multiplayer modes, so it can fit either solo hunting or sessions with other players. The third-person perspective and action-heavy premise are worth considering if those are central to how you play.

Buying guidance

Check the live price on this page rather than relying on a fixed amount. Also verify that the platform you intend to use is listed: Nintendo Switch, PC (Microsoft Windows), PlayStation 5, or Xbox Series X|S. Consider whether an action-focused monster-hunting game, its third-person view, and its single-player, co-operative, or multiplayer modes match your preferences. The supplied information describes the premise and broad activities, but does not give detailed information about progression, difficulty, or the specific differences between modes.
