A Hunter’s stats also gets boosted when paired with a Monster of the same element. You can increase their stats up to ten levels via this system. Basically, there is a stage where you can farm gifts to give to a Hunter. Another method of upgrading a Hunter’s stats is through the gift system. These resources can either be a general one or acquired through getting duplicates of the Hunter. Hunters can reach up to Lv.70, however, this will require a special resource. This includes both active and passive skills. Unlocking the rest will require them to be leveled-up. In the beginning, a Hunter will only have access to a few of his/her skills. Generally speaking, a Hunter using a Rathalos Set will most likely feature fire skills and an accompanying Rathalos weapon. These sets will also determine what element the Hunter’s skill kit will be. Each Hunter will have their own armor set and weapon. Level, Weapon, Element, and SkillsĪs is the nature of Monster Hunter our Hunters are equipped with different weapons and armor. As usual, the higher the rarity the harder they are to get. 3-star or Bronze Hunters are generally your weaker ones and 5-star or Gold Hunters are your strongest. Anyway, much like any other Gacha game our Hunters are divided into rarities, depicted by their number of Stars and Color. Maybe because you have a lot more customization with them than with Monsters. HuntersĬontrary to what you might’ve expected, the Hunters are our Gacha characters in Riders.
However, we’re now building a team of 3 Monster-Hunter (Pun intended!) pairs as opposed to just a single team-up. Much like what we’ve experienced with Stories. In Monster Hunter Riders, the Hunters and the Monsters work hand-in-hand during combat. Before hopping into actual combat gameplay though, let’s take a look at what other features the game has to offer. However, it took away the rock, paper, scissors mechanic and exchanged it for a more traditional turn-based system. Similar to the 3DS title, Riders uses a turn-based combat system. This is yet another aspect that the game somewhat borrows from Stories. Of course, the monster screams, attack sounds, and death wails are also included. There’s also voice acting in cutscenes and some parts of the menu, which is much appreciated.
The rest though are original but still has that familiar Monster Hunter essence, if you know what we mean. Some of the combat music is straight out of the Stories audio repository. AudioĪpart from borrowing art from Stories, Riders also grabbed a few of its soundtrack. Not to mention, the monster sprites are cute little versions of themselves. Especially the Hunter sprites in menus as they’re encased in marbles, making them look like proper collectibles. As for menu icons and hunter models, well they fit the overall “cutesy” theme. If you’ve been a fan of the Stories visuals then you’ll be delighted with what Riders has to offer. So, we’ve got some colorful sprites, animations, and less ferocious-looking monsters. Monster Hunter Riders borrows the visual artwork of MH Stories.
