✓ Prime Hunters Pass is 30 days for EVERYTHINGJust a heads up to those that want to pay and support the game. The Prime Hunters pass is laid out such that it seems that only the gems are a 30 days item but All of it only lasts for 30 days..Version: 63.0
✓ Love the game but there’s work to be doneI’ve been playing monster Hunter since 3U. It’s my favorite game franchise and when this was announced I was so stoked! The game is a lot of fun; being simplified for mobile, but still keeps plenty of mechanics in tact despite that. It looks really good, it plays smooth (only ever having minor lag hiccups), and hunting with friends is awesome. There’s also isn’t a lot of monetization which is nice to see for a Niantic game. But after the first two days a few cracks peeked through. For one, spawns are slow and your search range is pretty small. With the way it is now there’s a pretty decent chance you’ll just have to miss out on some hunts due to them being on property you can’t access. Second, the health is really slow to regain. In the later quests, where things hit like a truck, you really begin to feel how slow the regen is, and the lack of healing items other than your daily potions. Last, the speed lock. I understand they don’t want people driving and playing, but why have a confirmation notice about “being the passenger” if it’s going to lock the game completely? I feel like this should be adjusted in some capacity. Other than those it’s been an awesome game with so much promise for the future! Happy hunting!.Version: 60.3
✓ Was hopeful……I was hopeful for this game to be amazing, it’s rather more lackluster then what I expected……I still have no clue why they don’t implement a CHAT system in there games???? Just like Pokémon Go I can’t communicate with my friends??? When they send a raid request and I can’t make it in time I feel like I’m being rude by not explaining……wish I could at least have communication so I can set up a raid easier on Pokémon Go. But for here if I want to join or add a friend to a boss monster fight I CANT??????? Gees come on, are companies and developers TRYING to erase communication completely? The graphics are horrible and need updating, the lips? For your character are horrendous, why the heck you even make it like that even the eyes look like garbage like I’m a drugged yo down-syndrome person (no offense) but that’s how it looks…….the LACK of any boss monsters around me make it impossible to progress, and where are other weapons???? I’m not even a game developer and I could make this better, disappointing…….and I pre-registered for the game and I got NOTHING for it. Most games give something as they show appreciation……I’ll change to 5 star when I see better changes on here…..until then it’s 1 star because I know developers don’t care…...Version: 60.3
✓ BuggyI understand that this game was just released but I cannot even load into the game properly, after being told to grab the sword, no monsters show up and I’m stuck looking at the map, I waited extensive times to no avail, please fix this..Version: 60.3
✓ Scummy microtransactionsYou’ve got a great thing here, the gameplay is 10/10 but you limit us to 5 potions a day? And CHARGE for a CORE gameplay mechanic, monster spawn points are questionable, spawning in a lot of private areas in the uk, honestly you could fix this by implementing crafting for potions, meals that heal you ect, but atm charging premium for a core gameplay mechanic and monsters seeming to be more aggro when holding large potion amounts, (burnt through 20 in a day due to Longsword counter playing the counter animation but I’m still taking 100% damage) makes this game a hard pass until you make it actually free to play friendly..Version: 60.3
✓ One star is more than enough.The only saving grace of this game is the combat. Material drops are incredibly minimal and appear in limited quantities, gathering points take forever to respawn while constantly giving you items in bulk that you won’t use, daily quests can also offer worthless item drops like sharp claw and wingdrake hides which are the most common drop in the game, I’m receiving these daily quests at HR 45-46 which is arguably disrespectful based on how much time I gave this title already. Basic and advanced healing items are non-existent, enemies are souls-like difficult at times on top of it being made to be even more “impossible” by making you pay a significant amount of real money for potions when a large monster can hit you for your full health with minor attacks. You can wipe out a stack of potions within minutes depending on what you’re hunting. Diablos was the nail in the coffin for me though, I’ve gone up against it probably 30x, constantly killing me in one hit, and even if I don’t get hit my weapons can’t be upgraded to do enough damage since material dips are so bad. Just don’t waste your time, I’ve played nearly ever MH title, accumulation of around 6k+ hours across all titles and platforms and it’s barely a MH title. It’s Pokémon go with MH assets but you actually have things to do in Pokémon go..Version: 67.2
✓ Difficulty spike at 5 star is excessive.So I have been playing this game a lot since it dropped and I was so very close to rating this 5 star because it was a very enjoyable experience, however, when you get to a anjanath and rathian the game takes a super dramatic spike in difficulty and that isn’t just the former mentioned monsters, everything takes such a spike that even 5 star puki puki take me out in one hit and I have a hard time killing it in time, this would be fine if it wasn’t for the fact that most of the monsters that spawn around me now are 4-5 star with the occasional lower level, I can’t fight much now and I never have pots. (Just to add, I have grade 5 tobi armour and weapons that come up to the 300 damage range) To add to this, the first event was ridiculous, the only people who could take out a Diablos were people who have played the game none stop or spoofed, what kind of a first event was that? 🥴 Please fix the difficulty spike and give us a first event that actually caters to all players please. Like a double resource and monster reward day or something..Version: 61.1
✓ Game was fun but after new update can’t load up anymoreThe game was fun it was developed and designed really well. Just unfortunately now I can’t open up the game after the new update I cleared cache and nothing fixed the issue just waiting for the new update to see if I can play again..Version: 62.0
✓ Pretty good but some thingsI enjoy the spins on Pokémon go and I really liked the extra things in this game. But I have some but picks. It’s a little annoying when I’m being driven around and the game doesn’t let me play, especially since I get games like this to play in the car. What rubs it in however, is that a message pops up saying something like confirm you aren’t driving, which makes me think if I click it I can play. Since I can’t play in the car and I don’t walk around much other than with my dog where I like to keep an eye on her, I play while sitting down which means that I don’t really get to do many battles which is the point of the game. Could you also make the timer for fights 3 minutes, I’ve had loads of encounters where I haven’t been hit and the monster has just gotten away. These could just be specific to me though, and the rest of the game is really good. Good job I’m writing this section after playing it longer After a couple weeks the issue of the timeframe has become much more prevalent. So many time I have been doing great but the timers ran out, and then on my next attempt I die. It’s very frustrating. A way to fix this would be to make the med kits easier to get, and then the cap on the fight would be only 3 or 5 med kits instead of a certain amount of time. This still adds a barrier to low level players, but the way it does so is less frustrating. Please make these changes.Version: 62.1
✓ Amazing game but so much to work on.The time limit in battle should be extended and the lack of potions is infuriating....Version: 62.1
✓ Absolutely terrible balance decisions and WAY too expensiveThe most recent monsters added are horrible. Whichever idiot decided that monsters that launch themselves to NARNIA as part of their attacks in a game where the fights have a hard time limit should have been fired immediately. Not to mention the utter inability to progress after a certain point without grinding excessive amounts of monsters the idiotic restriction on speed for a game that can only be reasonably played when driving because the monsters and spawn points are literally miles apart in rural areas, and then the fall to charge a subscription fee on top of that? Nobody should play this game, if you’re thinking about it, World and Rise have money off right now, play them instead of this garbage..Version: 67.2
✓ Not a bad game but it could be wayyy betterThe game has the potential to be good but honestly just lacks way too many of the mechanics or unique elements that the original games have. Some features i feel could be added is definitely a better crafting system where we can make potions and maybe even other things like strength or defense buffs. Other people have mentioned how there should be a sort of pokestop mechanic which i agree on, I walk a lot so it would be great help especially when i need some extra items. Some complaints i have is that the rng is this game straight up blows for being rank 43 some of my weapons are still on rank 3 just because the monsters I kill don’t give the drops I need or they just don’t drop enough. Another thing is that I barely got anything from climbing to the rank I am it i felt like each time i hit a new milestone they gave me a card saying congratulations with nothing else. Another thing i feel could be added is a sort of clan mechanic letting you see when people in your clan are online and inviting people to your hunt whenever you start it. Also Besides that I really like the perfect doge mechanic..Version: 65.0
✓ Needs improvementVery annoying to play while travelling. Also the drop rate to level up gear is reticules.. it’s not even about the grind. It’s almost non existent! As the spawn rates are few and fare between. Game needs to be adjusted if they want to maintain players!.Version: 63.1
✓ Needs more customisationAnd I don’t know if you’ve changed this or not… but put more weapon types in… always been a dual wielder… or long sword user xD I’ve never been sword and shield and I still don’t wanna… other than that loving MH Now xD but… none of my friends want to play because they are on Pokémon go instead :( *edit* unlocked weapon so I take back what I said about weapons, but now… I was in a car as a passenger, I said I wasn’t driving yet gameplay was “restricted” due to high speed… by restricted you mean stopped… dropping to 1 star because it’s unplayable during journeys… which is the perfect time to play….Version: 60.3
✓ Terrible and Simple Monster Hunter Game but have hopesThis does not do Monster Hunter any justice, it is a mind numbly simple game with mind numbing simple gameplay. Fighting an iconic wyvern that lasts only seconds is insult to injury You can’t play a decent session in the night in the comfort of your own home, I can’t see myself going wondering about for ten minutes only for a hunt that will last seconds. I hope it will only become better as time moves on, and so have hopes you will take on board what a monster hunter game should be. The in game shop is over priced, but hopefully the whales can be relied upon for decent updates in the future..Version: 60.3
✓ DisappointingHealth potions are scarce. Honestly I don’t know if it’s a git gud situation but why can’t we use the zenny we earn to buy health potions or even receive them from certain parts around the area just like pokestops?.Version: 72.1
✓ MicrotransactionsUntil we’re able to buy pots and paintballs with the zenny we earn this is a massive stain on Monster Hunter.Version: 61.1
✓ Could be goodPotentially a good fun game, but a few niggles… Impossible to play while moving - eg on a bus as the gameplay just gets halted if you’re moving over about 5 miles per hour. No potions available other than having to buy them - have played the game for a few weeks out walking every day and so far have managed to collect 0 herbs (which are needed to craft a potion) and had 0 potions in rewards… So other than paying to play, there are 5 medi packs free each day which only restore slightly less than half health..Version: 64.1
✓ Remove the timer and let us craft potionScummy company being cringe 😅😅😅.Version: 62.0
✓ Monetisation to the maxSpend about 400$ on this game, time spend to build armour and weapon but getting nerfed in the end, rip off, couldn’t get refunds on purchases made from 90 days ago, bad investment into a game that doesn’t uphold game value and disrespects to player’s time spend in it, Scammers? Or mocking our intelligent? Review readers you decides.Version: 67.1
✓ Needs serious work.I’m going to start off by saying, I’ve been a fan of the franchise for a long time. That said I went into this game with a lot more hope than I should’ve had. There were several issues that were obvious from the start but I still gave it a chance to see if it got better at a higher level. My account is at almost level 30 now but none of the issues improve as you level. The drop rates for materials are horrible and spawn rates for large monsters are also very limited. The reach of your circle is tiny which doesn’t help accessing monsters/materials and the only way to increase it is expensive items you have to pay real money for. If the game actually rewarded you with some of the in game currency on occasion it might work better. Another problem is that I’m not even sure what occasions they give out the in game currency for, unless it’s glitched currently. So without the currency you’re stuck paying for anything you need from paintballs to potions if you run out of the small daily amount provided. Basically, as the game stands, you’re stuck behind a paywall if you want to play for more than five minutes a day. This is really disappointing as I think the gameplay/hunting is pretty enjoyable and overall the concept has a lot of promise. If they listen to player feedback and make some big changes I think it could actually be a lot of fun..Version: 61.1
✓ Needs some workCurrently HR 40, game is still kinda fun but feels like a chore doing dailies, monsters get boring real quick and there’s no end game to work towards so you lose interest very quickly, fun to play for a couple weeks and walk around but that’s it..Version: 62.1
✓ ResourcesMight as well delete this game. Refusal to award materials like primscales will lock you behind a wall forever. Must be something wrong no matter how many battles you chase the game refuses to give you primescales for girros.Version: 68.2
✓ Abysmal drop ratesThe game itself is alright, but the drops and grind are pretty bad. This is highly unmotivating. Also bad to play while having to get somewhere as high star monsters need quite some time and attention to slay..Version: 62.1
✓ Its funBut please let me collect items while on the bus or as a passenger in a vehicle. Also, there needs to be a way to craft more potions instead of forcing you to pay for them or waiting for the 5 you get daily..Version: 70.1
✓ Needs work, but funI have love the monster hunter franchise since PS2. This game is a great addition to the series but needs some work. The graphics, controls, and gameplay is excellent, but the power scaling is unrealistic for most people. The item crafting system that the MH series is know for is completely lacking other than weapons and armor. I’ve reached HR33 now and progress has come to a complete halt. 5* monsters are near unbeatable with over rank 3 gear and the upgrades for that gear come from 4* and 5* monsters that rarely drop what you need and are even more rare to find on a regular basis. There is also no type of reward for increasing your hunter rank other than some paintballs and potions every 10 levels. Lastly, there was just an event to fight random Diablos monsters, this would of been a great chance to have new players fight a weakened version of the creature but the devs thought that only spawning unbeatable 5* would be awesome for player morale. No one in my area was able to beat one, even teaming up. I really had high hopes for this game, but it’s falling pretty flat for me after 2 weeks of play..Version: 61.1
✓ Monster Hunter in name onlyTo put it simply, this game is the complete antithesis of what the Monster Hunter franchise has been for the last 20 years. You cannot choose what you hunt, it has to randomly spawn on the map. You need an exorbitant number of specific and often high rarity materials that will never drop for every single minuscule upgrade, which also makes crafting a full set of armour downright impossible. You are rushed with barely a minute for each hunt, which only gets worse when monsters begin to stun you with roars and do attacks where they become unhittable (looking at Diablos). Zenny has practically no function and yet we’re given mountains of it for every task as if it means something. The monetisation is pretty horrendous, with every consumable costing premium currency and no way to slowly earn it for free like there is in other Niantic games..Version: 72.1
✓ Awesome game, too heavily monetizedFirst off, really love this game and it’s an easy 5/5 for me. It’s actually got me to get out and walk around my neighborhood, unlike PokeGO. The combat is nice and I like the combos and moves you can use. It’s very engaging, requiring you to dodge and pick your windows to attack. Now on to why I’m giving it 3 stars instead of 5. The biggest reason is the amount of insane monetization. $1 USD for 1 paintball that just tags a monster so you can fight it later. That’s ridiculous to me, and other health potions and buffs all cost money. And while you do get 5 free first aids a day and you’re palico gets 3 free paintballs, I just don’t think that’s enough. Plus you have to always allow precise tracking to allow the palico to tag things when you’re out. And one last gripe is that if you’re in a car or related, there is almost no point of playing unless you have a monster tagged. You can’t collect from nodes and everything on the map despawns and it takes some time for you to be at a complete stop before it comes back. I understand it’s for safety but man..Version: 63.0
✓ The game itself is great fun, but is “Pay to Play”The game is pretty fun and the hunts are pleasantly challenging once you get to 5star. However, the aim of the game seems to be forcing you to pay money to continue playing once potions run out/once you want more paintballs. The ingame shop is exorbitantly expensive and costs “gems”, which you are never awarded for gameplay - they can only be purchased. (One paintball is the roughly £1 in store, so £1 per hunt. One potion works out to roughly 30p) It’s absolutely geared to maximise profits from Whales and discourage casual play. The RNG needs tweaking - you can easily power your way through the early missions without levelling up your gear much, then find yourself at a wall where you need multiple high level materials to upgrade your gear. Finding those materials can be exceptionally difficult, meaning you quite literally could walk miles and fight dozens of eg 4* Girros, and never get a Girros prime scale. Some ways to improve would be 1) make potions or first aid craftable 2) tweak high level drop rates for 4* and above monsters 3) give ability to blacklist/target monsters for Palico paintballs to decrease/increase the chances of Palico tagging respective monsters.Version: 61.1
✓ Amazing game just one problemMake it playable when going at fast speed, when I’m walking I can’t play I have to be sitting down which makes it harder to play the game, also even when I’m just sitting at home it often thinks I’m driving or walking to fast? So I can’t play the game at all.Version: 63.0
✓ Need to fix gameIt is very laggy and takes time off while lags Feel ripped off sometimes Also need to add more monsters so game isn’t so boring at times Thanks.Version: 66.1
✓ Needs a lot of improvementBase gameplay is fun, they’ve simplified it for phone obv but it works really well. The problem comes with the RNG. To beat the higher level monsters you need better gear, and to get that better gear you need the higher tier monster parts. Only it almost never drops. I don’t know if the odds are heightened with better grades on hunting but I can’t get the higher grade if I can’t beat the monster in time and I can’t beat the monster in time if I don’t have good enough gear. Do we see the cycle? Another thing, whenever I boot up the game, no matter where I am, near a street, nowhere near a street, there’s always monsters just outside of my little bubble zone but never in it. After rank 20 of this still happening it feels intentional and predatory at this point. Trying to get you to buy the overpriced shop items Also have fun only fighting pukei-pukei and Ku-lu-yaku because sometimes it feels like those are the only 2 monsters that spawn and it’s intensely frustrating. It has so much potential, do not let it be squandered with bad design that can be fixed.Version: 61.1
✓ Positive FeedbackI enjoy playing this game and I am Hunter Rank 35 already! I spend most of my spare time playing this game. However, I do have an issue with the game. Make resources like heals and droplets more available for free. I know you get rewards when you level up but not every level. Items in the shop are way too expensive. I do a few hunts then have to turn off the game due to running out of heals. I think the game would be played so much more if we could continue to hunt as long as we want. All equipment and weapons are amazing and wouldn’t change it at all. I only run out of heals all the time so it makes me not play the game as long as I would like to. I spend more time waiting for my Hunter to have max health or wait for the daily gift in the shop. PLEASE MAKE HEALS MORE AVAILABLE!! Other than that, a brilliant game in my opinion 👍.Version: 65.0
✓ Mission rewardsIf I cut off a tail I should get a tail as a reward.Version: 65.0
✓ WeakThe reason for the 2 star award even though I love Monster Hunter: World, this is just a weak attempt. Feels like the devs haven’t adapted the game from the Pokémon Go rush from a few years back. No walker function and circle of interaction is way too small forcing players to location spoof. Not sure if the functions unlock later on but not looking forward to play much further. As from my personal experience I don’t walk around and game, always felt it was silly. I guess this one just is not for me..Version: 61.1
✓ An unfun parody of Monster HunterIf you've come for a Monster Hunter experience, you'll be very disappointed. There are only 6 weapons, and the balancing of them is incredibly weak, made worse by atrocious hitboxes. Every fight is a DPS check, so you're pretty much funnelled into a certain style of play. Oh, and the game is prone to slowdowns, but the clock will still countdown in real seconds, which will drastically hinder your rewards. Oh yeah, the rewards are the worst kind of RNG, you're more likely to get better rewards for A rank hunt times, but not always. A rank a 3 or 4 star hunt? Level 1 crafting materials. You can't craft potions to stay in the game either. That's a store purchase. Not zenny, dollars and cents. And it's not cheap either. Your palico will collect non-landmark resources as you pass, this is good. But it's paintballs (3 per day) are random with no way to narrow down what gets tagged. You wanna fight a 6 or 7 star monster? Nah mate, 1 star Great Jagras, get rekt son. I've tried to like this game, but Niantic have somehow launched a worse product than Pokémon Go was at launch, and this does not have the same player base/server issues Go did. This is a soulless, soulsucking insult to the Monster Hunter name, and is clearly a weak cash grab carting off the success of World, Iceborne, Rise and Subreak. Wouldn't wish this on anyone..Version: 65.0
✓ Add import album functionPlease add an import album function in barcode scan, it really inconvenience when you try to join a party or adds friend without this function.Version: 61.1
✓ Extend the time limitExtend the time limit.Version: 62.1
✓ Always thinks I’m driving“Due to high movement speed gameplay has been reduced.” It’s a great game but this bug is so annoying. I’ll change my review once it’s fixed!.Version: 64.1
✓ Cash grabThis game is just a cash grab the way you do your gem shop with no way to get gems besides buying them.Version: 72.1
✓ So many flaws for what could be a great game!This game has so much potential and at its core is a very fun mobile game. However there are so many mind blowing decisions that help to make this game almost unplayable. First, the progression, it’s so so so slow! I quiet the game after 15 mins of playing. I try to fight monsters to level up my equipment but can’t beat the monster because the equipment takes way too long to level up and get the resources. The progression being this unbelievable slow is bizarre as there really isn’t much pay to win in this game meaning it’s slow just to be slow. Second, TEACH NEW PLAYERS HOW TO PLAY!! I feel this should go without saying but this game seems to not think so. You start the game which a small tutorial which helps at first. Then as you progress, the game leaves you to fend for yourself as you try and figure out how to even use most weapons and to figure out which armors are best/what they are used for. I would do on but I feel this sums up the biggest problems but trust me there are way more! As it stands, best to stay away from this game unless you have no job or life because that’s about what this game requires to be able to progress much as all. Really wanted this game to be great Niantic, real shame..Version: 72.1
✓ Just badAll gathering location are by schools and not in town meaning i have to be unconvertably close to a school zone to get materieals, on top of that the hit detection is so bad you can get swiped out of the air without it actualy touching you.Version: 74.1
✓ Exclusively Monster Hunter World content and passenger speed limit.My biggest most important complaint so far is that there is no content from any of the other Monster Hunter games. For me this is the kiss of death, this says to me that there will be no monsters from outside of Monster Hunter World such as insects and spiders (Seltas, Seltas Queen, nerscilla, etc), Crabs (hermitaur and Ceanitaur), and no aquatic monsters (lagiacruz, zamtrios, plesioth, etc). It means the TERRIBLE weapon designs from returning monsters in World will carry over into this game, as has already been showcased with the weapons from Barroth. Monster Hunter is entirely about hunting monsters, forging new weapons and armor to hunt stronger monsters, and crafting supplies to do so (which also does not exist in this game as of now because they want money). Aside from those problems the passenger speed limit on being able to do ANYTHING is very, very bad. Not even in Pokémon Go or Pikmin Bloom is this as bad as in this game. I would like there to be more resource outcrops where things are in Pokémon Go and Pikmin Bloom. Lastly I think monsters roaming on the map would be a nice addition..Version: 61.1
✓ Greedy afOther games would lure you to pay, this one would PUA you to pay, the drop rates and all kinds of “thanking packs” will help you to stay away from all the micro trancactions they offered..Version: 66.0
✓ Fun to pass time on a walk but...It suffers from the same problem as pokemon go did. You can't be in a moving vehicle and play. Can't be a passenger and play it or ride the bus and play it. Immediately get a warning saying that gameplay is restricted while moving to fast. It's just a little bit disappointing considering how many people would probably be playing while commuting to work. Totally understandable to not play and drive that's illegal of course but as passenger? Would be nice to get the option to turn that off, as well turn off the other warnings like make sure your in a safe place. I'm not gonna be fighting a barroth in the middle of the road now am I? Also please add the ability to walk around in combat. Only being able to dodge roll is a bit annoying when you need to try and hit a certain body part but all you can do is roll like an idiot..Version: 60.3
✓ Unplayable GarbageHallo everyone who is reading this! This is a warning to avoid this game as much as you can. I were dreaming about this game. Playing my favorite game while moving oh yes! I were so exited! I have more than 7000 in the MH franchise games. So i do really kno what i am talking about. This game have nohing to deal with a skill or anything related to your ability to play a game. Its a pure money milking. Lag wrong bad dodge and bah you need to buy potions to continue to play. Buy for reql money. I can really pay a lot for a game I like but not for the garbage i have been offered. Prices are crazy. Frustration. Greed and stupidity as always are the kings..Version: 60.3
✓ Decent but buggySo, I do enjoy this game. There’s a couple pacing issues, as others have pointed out, but I view it as just me needing more work. Which is just like every other Monster Hunter game, honestly. We’ve all had that “I just need this one part to upgrade my weapon” in every other MH game, this is just more blatant about it. However, my problems stem from the poor connection issues. I can be out in the open, with all 4 bars for my data, or even all bars for Wi-Fi, and I’ll just get that “Poor Connection” line, have all of my damage done for the past 5 seconds deleted, have my time keep ticking down, and be unable to do anything. Then, my connection comes back, the monster I’m hunting will instantly attack, and there’s nothing I can do about it. It’s infuriating! Especially when it happens multiple times in one hunt. I could be fighting a 2-star Kulu Ya-Ku, which I can kill in 10 seconds and get an A on my speed, but the connection issues will mean that it takes me a full minute to kill it and I get a C. Either fix the connection issues so it stops happening, or pause the timer while the connection issues are happening..Version: 66.1
✓ Monster part drop rates are brokenIt’s fun to play and the mechanics are smooth, but I like put in the sticks and no large resource nodes spawn within several miles of me and only a couple large monster and small resource nodes spawn at a time and doesn’t refresh for a while. This isn’t like the console games where you can farm one monster over and over. The drop rate of items need to be fixed. I’ve been playing for weeks trying to get a 4 star part from a pukei and after finishing many many fights with a 4 star pukei the part still hasn’t dropped so I’m stuck on weaker tier weapons just waiting for 4 star monster to spawn and then hoping that when they do, they drop the part I need, which still hasn’t happened. It’s impossible to progress without endless grinding and praying to the RNG gods that when you FINALLY find the monster they drop their equal rarity part. I’ve gotten to rank 42 and still only have tier 3 equipment, I can’t beat 5 star monsters because I don’t have enough damage output, but can’t get more damage because I can’t find the parts. Fix the drop rates.Version: 67.2
✓ Monster Hunter but not really?It’s got all the fundamentals to be a really good MonHun game, but the drops you get from 4 star are way too low to be able to start crafting higher gear to get yourself into 5 star. Don't get me wrong, it’s monster hunter there’s always a grind but the different with flagship games and this is that I can hunt whatever monsters I want whenever I need and that can’t be done in now. Yeah I could go for a walk but considering the spawn locations in my area are few and far between it makes for a really unpleasant hunting experience..Version: 61.1
✓ Loads of fun.... But too much crashing!Iphone 8 and ipad (I think its an air 10). I am loving this game, but the frequency of the crashes are driving me crazy especially when I lose out on loot after defeating a difficult monster. The app on my ipad also didn't seem to crash until I went out with it for a long walk today. Starting with a reference, I think I have been taking really good care of my phone battery (charge at 30%, unplug at 80%). Having this app open eats up my iPhone's battery like crazy, just like with pokemon go. I have to keep adventure sync turned off to keep it from eating up my battery when closed. My iPad's battery on the other hand seems to not really be affecting the battery... I don't want to have to carry my ipad to be able to play without fast battery depletion or lag..Version: 74.1
✓ Time wasterThe negative reviews keep getting deleted. I will post again: This game is definitely a time waster, it’s driven by the greedy company simply wants you to pay for everything. You cannot play at home because the monsters spawn every 3hrs and usually when you wake up in the morning, your palico got nothing for you; then during the daytime, if you are sitting on a bus you are not allowed to play, the only way to play is to go outside on foot, what a great idea for enjoying your Canadian winter time! Not to mention even you go outside hunting and collecting, 99% of time you got rare 1 or 2 items. Players has to pay so much $$ and physical effort to play a game like this, it’s 100% insane. I’d rather sitting in my couch and playing MHW or MH rise, for the real fun..Version: 63.0
✓ This game will die soon [READ]Rate drop rate are horrendously way below than usual MH games. Super low for a mobile game. I know that this has been a culture for the franchise but man, if you need this game to stay then you need to work on this! People will get bored as farming for rare items takes a while because of this super low drop rates! Shop items are just potions. Potions that are too expensive! I would understand if they're selling layered armors and stuff, but no! Just make the game fun and enjoyable! Imagine, people needs to be out there hunting for monsters. Risking safety going to places just to hunt but you'll not going to be rewarded and all you'll get are just pieces of junk! I know it requires patience but man, this is too much! I am already getting tired playing this so it's up to you all if time that you'll spend here is going to be worth it!.Version: 62.1
✓ Fun, but predatory cash shopGame is a lot of fun. Combat is a solid simplistic MH game. Expect to grind for gear, but even more so than the average MH. Unfortunately your hunting circle is pretty small and respawn times are absolutely atrocious. You can pay to have a slightly larger circle for a very little amount of time, but the insanely low respawns make it not worth it in the slightest. If I move faster than a slow pace it will trigger the moving too quick feature and lock me from playing for a minute. Can’t craft potions which as anyone that plays the series knows this is like a souls game, the monsters hit hard and unforgivingly. Potions, along with everything else in the cash shop, are priced way too high for what little they do. If we are going to have to pay money for a potion, why not have it at least full heal? Update 9/24 They had their first event! Updating review from 3 to 1 stars. They chose a 5 star monster (Diablos) that anyone under around HR 35 would have no chance with. It hit like a truck and unless you weren’t hard farming to get well over 400 armor you will get 1 shot constantly. Additionally there was the black diablos that was even stronger. I was HR 36 and was able to kill 1 during the whole event. Had to do it solo since bringing anyone in just made them have too much HP..Version: 61.1
✓ Can no longer log into my accountSince the update I can no longer access my account. Everything is reset, I’m mad becauseI actually enjoyed the game and played it daily..Version: 66.1
✓ Honest opinionSo for the combat, hits the nail on the head, but there is one major issue with the game, like Niantic’s Pokémon go the idea is to go out, explore, exercise and have fun, but you are unable to do so when you have no potions, you decide to take a stroll and play, first monster takes you out, now there’s no fun. We should be able to craft or find potions or gain HP by killing the small monsters, otherwise it’s not a game you can always just go out and play. Everything else is really good and worth a 5 star, but the potion issue really does hold back some potential..Version: 61.1
✓ Love the game but needs improvingIt’s definitely getting me out and about and enjoying going on walks with friends. Potions should heal you to 100% especially when you only get 5 free a day and have to pay to buy more. Drop rates are extremely low. Killing high star monsters only to get 4-6 rarity 1 mats most of the time is like a slap in the face. Finding the timer you have to kill the monsters is too short at higher levels especially when grouping with friends. Game sometimes freezes during fights but the timer still ticks down can get annoying as well..Version: 61.1
✓ Great startFun game I personally like the character customization and visuals the most. however I would like for the game to change what you can wear without changing armor types. Resources dropped by the boss monsters are lackluster/not plentiful enough resulting in a very heavy grinding experience. Resources have to be trashed instead of sold which for a game that has very little drops for currency/resources, this results in a boring repetitive struggle. The potion system deters players from having longer grind groups with friends if you aren’t perfect dodging or spending money. The displays for the weapons you have unlocked is scattered, leaving you to scroll up and down constantly to check stats or what you want to upgrade. The range of interacting with monsters and resources needs to be increased. The game needs to get rid of the speed lock. Some people have bikes/skateboards or passengers that want to play but can’t due to the speed lock. I want this game to succeed because its very fun/interactive but as of now the game is above average at best with amazing potential. Please don’t let it go to waste and update/fix these problems..Version: 60.3
✓ Doesn’t launchApp keeps crashing whenever I open it. Have tried all the troubleshooting the website suggests, and no luck. Would’ve rated 1 star if I wasn’t already a Monster Hunter fan..Version: 60.3
✓ NianticAnother great game runied by the greed of Niantic. The game at the start is great there is so much to do and the monsters are easy to hunt. Although as you progress monsters health begins to ramp up on top of that their attacks ramp up too. Without proper gear you will likely get one shot by most attacks and this is where the game falls flat. Lack of resources due to the only way to get them is to go to a resource area that refreshes once per day. Also progression is rng is depended on what the monster drops when you kill it. But wait you can carve the monster… WRONG you can have to pay to carve the monster to get extra parts. Also remember how I said monster will start getting stronger well you only get 5 potions a day which at the start is fine, but when you progress monsters attacks will start doing so much damage that after a fight you are using 1-2. Progression after rank 30 is hard at monsters that I need in order to upgrade my weapons don’t spawn and when they do I can’t carve them because I’ll need to spend gems in order to do that which are unobtainable without spending money. Niantic is known to be money hungry and has done similar things with Pokémon go and they of course are doing it with this game and it’s sad it’s at the start maybe if they allow 3 carves a day just like Palico paintballs it would make the game much more appealing for higher rank hunters and increase the time for fights cause 1:15 is not enough..Version: 61.1
✓ Good so far. Needs more content in its future.I’m HR 21, all I’ve done is log on and do things. I haven’t walked around yet. From that, it’s still pretty good. Can make progress because new things spawn every 10 minutes it seems. It does what it’s supposed to do. It’s early, so it’s likely that improvements will be made, but it needs more content. It does what it’s supposed to do now, im the future it could really use more. There’s no good purpose in doing anything at the moment. No leaderboards so far, teams, or much socially in the game as a whole. That’s my stance at the moment. I do expect more content in the future, but given what Pokémon GO, their other game, looks like, it can hardly be a guarantee..Version: 61.1
✓ UnresponsiveRecent updates have made the game nearly unresponsive making combat near impossible with delayed inputs.Version: 61.1
✓ I wonder if the devs play the game themselvesProbs not, and that’s why they don’t see the problems. Potions can only be purchased with real money, hunt-a-thon monsters have 1.7x more hp than those at the same star level, yet timer stays the same. Drop rate is ridiculous too.Version: 69.1
✓ WhyI was at 24 bones for two upgrade. My switch acts to level five but it restarted to eight then zero is there a way to make my switch to level five please do it I spent way too long just to give up now please it’s still going down.Version: 74.1
✓ Great game potential ruined by greed.This game had some great potential but that has been ruined by these fly/jump/roll all over the map during battles, making it pretty much impossible to hunt with lower level gear. This is all to push their in game micro transactions, I’ve played this from day one and now it’s just not enjoyable or worth playing any longer. Whoever brought these new monsters into the game should be immediately fired from the dev team. Also there are no ways whatsoever to get gems unless they’re bought, again greed over making a decent game..Version: 68.2
✓ Monster hunter cheat.If you like games that cheat this is the game for you. As soon as you get to 4 star and 5 star monsters there energy bar doesn’t go down even though you’ve battered them and your life bar goes down even if you’re not hit by the monster. Levelling up weapons once you hit a certain level is ridiculous. Levelling up your armour doesn’t make any difference as you can still be killed in one hit. This game could of been fun but sadly it’s cheating just makes it annoying and frustrating..Version: 67.2
✓ Gets repetitivePlease add more loadouts.Version: 68.1
✓ Bad late game contentIt’s been a few months and early stuff is fine with progression, gear upgrade to difficulty collecting materials despite monsters drop rates being ridiculously low. The health monetisation system is in desperate need of a rework if you want to challenge yourself leading to my main point, the lategame is massively off putting. After a while you run out of currency and realise the rate of earning is poor, limited material storage space is a problem as more monsters get added, the roster is understandably limited for now but that will probably change if the game continues to be supported. Events featuring limited time or exclusive monsters are more difficult with unlikely chance of other players to match it which will be more of a problem as people get put off by this system. Personally I was affected by the bowgun nerf in the last update as that’s the weapon I specialised in increasing difficulty even more. Premium currency can’t be earned like PoGo, meaning the store is only for people that can spend on these things. Gathering points based on the pokestop system are fewer and far between for some reason and health items can’t be found from them. I’m currently debating between taking a more casual approach to the game or completely uninstalling it, I don’t want to as I have spent hours a day playing and enjoying it but changes and lategame have made this game more and more of a struggle..Version: 67.1
✓ Mehh, time wasterHonestly, played for like two days… Being a MH player since Wii era, I don’t understand why anyone who actually enjoys MH would spend time on this… Boring combat… And the whole location based is just horrible, you have to walk around looking down at your phone… Plus sooo many GPS spoofers, like 2h after game release and dudes HR 40+ hahaha Don’t waste your time, buy MHW, maybe mod it a bit, and enjoy the real thing..Version: 60.3
✓ The event is so lame and no monsters show in my areaI really enjoyed the previous MH. This game is not great at all. Have been 2 events, neither are player friendly. Either the monsters hP is too high or no monsters showing at all. So what’s the point for having a event without letting everyone participate?.Version: 67.2
✓ Plays decently, but doomed to fail.I’m only an hour or two in but there appears to be no evidence of pvp, a ranking leaderboard, or any resemblance of a ‘player flex’ system. If so, you completely missed the F2P model. Without these, nobody feels a drastic desire to speed up their progess to compete against their peers. Meaning, you haven’t monetized the game… Either tell me isn’t so, or… fire the entire roster of executives working on this game for (apparently) 4 years who missed the most important part. They deserve to work in retail..Version: 60.3
✓ Could be betterThis game needs developers who don't have their heads up their asses, for one, like Pokemon go, levels are meaningless and confer nothing of substance like improved powers in fighting etc. Number two, some of the quests are stupid, some of the quest monsters need equipment at a certain level to complete, but you can't upgrade your equipment without doing the quest.Version: 73.1
✓ This game brings shame to the franchiseIt's like a bad version of pokomon go. God won't forgive the creator of this game..Version: 69.1
✓ Decent game.Monster Hunter Now is an alright game with fun combat. It’s quite greedy with how it wants you to spend cash though, especially if you want to double your rewards. What I especially hate about the game is the limited amount of reattempts. There’s no need for it, it should be unlimited instead of 3 retries. The difficulty spike is also annoying, since you need to struggle fighting higher level monsters in order to MAYBE get the materials you need, just so you can upgrade your gear and actually be able to defeat them within the irritating time limit. Overall it’s an alright game that’s got some ridiculous and irritating mechanics..Version: 72.1
✓ Pas de sonJ’aurais laisser à 5 étoiles mais j’ai pu de son dans le jeux et même une fois réinstaller je n’ai toujours pas de son.Version: 72.0
✓ Money hungry poo holesThis game is legit made to try and get you to spend money every step of the way. Greedy company that wants money nothing else. Can’t beat a monster well spend money to grind faster is the motto here. 10 dollars to send 3 paintballs to friends is a joke..Version: 67.2
✓ It’s okGame is fine. It’s very much a Niantic game, however, if you are sitting in a car, even if you nominate yourself as a passenger, it doesn’t allow you to interact with anything on the map. This needs to be fixed asap..Version: 60.3
✓ Good hunting, need more timeThe gameplay is fantastic bringing the monsters and the game mechanics from World and bringing it into a AR experience on your mobile, I just wish we had more time with each large monster hunt. 3 minutes would be fine and perfect for a average hunt but having something so less then minute and a half just felt like you’re defusing 4 bombs while under enemy fire, maybe in the update there would be a timer increase to fit the feeling and the enjoyment of Monster Hunter and what MH Brings Still a good game though.Version: 61.1
✓ Irritating pay walls and level blocksThe only real saving grace I’ve found is the graphics and simple combat style. However, very quickly get to the point where monsters are well over levelled compared to damage that the player can deal, also very irritating that there is a pay wall for items that barely do anything for you, not even attack or defensive ability boosting items like any other decent game..Version: 68.2
✓ It was good to begin withI’ve played most of the monster hunter games in the uk and was existed when I got to play the beta of this but now since its been released my friends who I got to play have all uninstalled it and I’m close to as well even with being HR40. The maps need a big sort out as apparently I live in water EVERYWHERE! Which makes no monsters spawn at home or out for walks. Difficulty spike after the anjanath is shocking. Hard to get materials I need to level anything as all I get is gray when a monsters eventually spawns as 4 star plus. The first event I didn’t even get to play because the Diablos doesn’t spawn in water and the Prices to buy things are way to expensive..Version: 63.1
✓ Great game now but..The decision to tie progress gating equipment to important key locations is going to hurt a lot of people. I live in an area where there is 2 of these main nodes within walking distance and only one of those can give equipment with only a slither of a chance to get the materials I need. This is going to hurt a lot of rural players..Version: 61.1
✓ Great game but needs workGameplay is great firstly. Gear progression walls is frustrating at times and connection issues while out and about. Wish there was a way to farm monsters more efficiently, and that solo hunters are just as efficient as group. Not being able to hunt below 30hp - why? Just to MTX from the store for potions? Throughout the franchise I’ve bested fights well below 30% health. Let our palicos do more than just collect whilst walking. Use palico safari from the main games or something similar? Tier set bonuses would be good, and optional quests / consumables crafting eg demonpowder etc..Version: 61.1
✓ GrindyThis game is incredibly grindy. Starting off is fun and easy, combat feels nice. But if you are just casually playing this game you are going to get stuck kind of quickly. Once I hit 5 star monsters I wasn’t dealing enough damage to kill them in time, materials to upgrade are a pain to get for higher level gear since it’s all random and it’s super rare to get higher level materials. The rarity makes sense in the mainline games since you can just grind the monster repeatedly and you get a lot of monster drops. But once you kill the monster in this game you get 4 drops, plus one drop for each break, and you can’t fight that monster again unless there’s one you can travel to nearby. This makes it even harder for people to get the rare drops you need to level up your gear. Eventually you are going to hit a wall and you won’t be able to deal enough damage to kill monsters in time, and you will be stuck at that wall for a loooong time. There’s a video talking about the cost of getting a level 10 weapon and it would cost around $400 do get 1 weapon. At that point, just buy Monster Hunter World and have an amazing time with that game..Version: 67.1
✓ A Really Good Game, But One Issue…This game is really good! It’s essentially just Pokémon Go, but there’s monsters instead. I love the gameplay of it! The one thing that’s annoying me is the gameplay restriction. Essentially, when you go up to a certain speed (I.e Driving), it locks up your gameplay and it won’t unlock until you get the speed down. I understand that it’s supposed to prevent people who are actually driving from playing the game (Some people are actually idiots who does that), but it’s really annoying and frustrating for players who are actually in the passenger seat playing the game. There is a menu that pops up that has a button with, “I’m not the driver” written on it. Even though I press it (because I’m not driving while playing it), it doesn’t do anything. It still locks your gameplay. I understand the reason and purpose for this, but I wish that it could be removed. Or at least fix it to where it won’t lock your gameplay when you tell the app that you’re not the driver. If it does get fixed in the future, I would be more than happen to change my review because as I said before; it’s a really, really good game and I’m having a blast playing it! I know the game was just released and it’s not gonna be perfect immediately. It’s just something to maybe consider for the future updates. 🥰🥰.Version: 60.3
✓ UnplayableI cant even launch the game, I’m on iOS 16.3.1, iPhone 14 Pro Max, it just crashes whenever I try to launch. I’ve rebooted my phone to try and fix the problem, but it still persists. Cannot open or play the damn thing..Version: 60.3
✓ Interesting Game, But Tough For Rural AreasI was initially unable to start the tutorial due to my neighbourhood being too remote, and am still mostly unable to play the game nearby my home. The few hunts I did were fun however, and I might keep playing when I occasionally go to the big city again. I would very much enjoy a wider area for things to spawn around roads, etc, so that going to an urban area is a bonus not a requirement. Or having travel as mainly a way to change environments rather than needing to travel to find more resources..Version: 60.3
✓ Doesn’t load unless connected to wi-fi?!Good game, however currently (for the past couple of updates) I have been unable to load the game unless connected to wi-fi. It just hangs on the loading screen. Kind of makes the game completely pointless and unplayable if I can’t leave the area of a wi-fi. Please fix this asap. I’m not the only one who has run into this either, as I have gone searching for solutions online..Version: 71.1
✓ Seriously disappointingI really want to like this game. As a hardcore monster hunter fan, having played over 6 different games and put the better part of 2000 hours into the game I was so excited to hear a monster hunter mobile game like Pokémon go. Sad to say it has fallen short on most fronts. Riddled with microtransactions you very quickly get stuck behind a paywall where monsters are too hard to fight and give so little drops you spend ages farming only to be hit by an attack that one shots you. Combat is unresponsive at best and downright atrocious at worst. Even with a good phone you’re most likely going to get hit by a easily avoidable attack where in any monster hunter game you’d easily be able to dodge. I don’t mind micro purchases but the items available are so useless it doesn’t pay off. Evidently it’s just a money hungry company looking to leech off of a promising franchise. If you’re going to have such extortionate prices, make it at least worth it ? And add a bigger variety of buffs, sword and shield oils, demon drug, armour drug, would be easy additions for quality of life. Make paintballs freely available to find not stuck behind a paywall for gods sake it’s a basic item in the game. Make items to craft, health potions shouldn’t be a scarce item. Disappointing and upsetting. I don’t think I’ll be playing much longer unless I actually see some quality of life changes. Do better..Version: 61.1
✓ BrokenThe game can't handle walking by a known wifi network, you will immediately disconnect and lose any items and the hunt you're in..Version: 65.0
✓ Unplayable for some reasonCan’t get through the tutorial at all, pick up my starting gear when the cat is talking then nothing. Hopefully this is fixed eventually..Version: 61.1
✓ MehGame is not that good I’ve played monster hunter since wii and all tell you they’ve definitely lost it with this you can’t buy anything with the zen y you make so there’s that drop rates are trash and whatever weird idea of a story line they have is also horrible don’t waste your time.Version: 74.1
✓ Is this monster hunter?In every other monster hunter game you start off with full health at the start of a hunt, yet in this one you need to heal up after. The time-limit is super short. The red flashing makes attacks too easy to read. No item crafting. I’m going back to my old monster hunter games..Version: 63.0
✓ BoringI can’t believe they abandoned Catan World Explorers but this game was brought to market. So boring, just tapping to kill monsters. Catan at least had people who were not interested in the original franchise interested. I feel like this game is only for those who are already interested in this franchise..Version: 62.0
✓ It’s alright but trashy performanceI gave it a 2 star due to it having pretty fun gameplay, but the performance issues are insane (mind you I have a semi old phone, but not really bad) I feel there should be a setting to load in less ground clutter like plants as it can take 5 minutes to load into the game, and especially when going into upgrade menus (usually weapons) my game freezes for up to 30 seconds, but I can still interact with buttons (they change colour ) which is bearable but the main issue is whenever I load into combat, even on the great wifi in my house, I get “connection issues” which causes the enemy to be able to attack me, making me lose health, but I cannot attack back and the timer still counts down, and sometimes even kicking me out of combat (which is extremely frustrating as I wait 60 seconds of no attacking before finally being able to attack in the last 10 before being kicked) so I feel that the devs should at LEAST stop the timer and maybe stop the enemy attacking you. Anyway, that’s why I think the game gets 2 stars as of rn, but maybe if the connection issues were fixed it would go to a 4 stars for me, thanks..Version: 72.1
✓ DO NOT play any game by NianticNiantic ruins all great IP games! You have to pay super unfair prices to get very limited stuff in game. Total lost money if you pay anything in game. Very not comfortable in game control design, and you cannot change setting for anything make it better. There has no meaning to play this game other than wasting time and money!.Version: 70.1
✓ Needs improvement, then it’ll be a 5 star game.As a veteran Monster hunter player, the time you have to hunt a monster and how much the monster attacks and the time you spend evading. You actually only have 60 seconds to fight. Which on the lower tier monsters it isn’t that big of a deal. But when you get to the part of the game where you get to 4-5 star monsters. Their health, attack rate far exceeds your ability to hunt them in under two mins. Plus not to mention the lack of farmable resources and how much this game demands you need to further craft your gear to get it up to par with the monster to stand a chance. For instance the Legiana has maybe a 10% chance you’ll find one maybe two in the swamp area if you are lucky! So good luck walking to hunt the one if it’s available. Now on to the drop rates for rare materials. It’s worse than a console or pc monster hunter game. Like they really want to to walk, walk some more and fight and fight. Just to be denied the parts you need. Nothing like fighting a 5 star, slaying it and getting tier one or tier two parts. Maybe even a tier three part. Absolutely a disappointment to monster hunter so far. Like y’all have plenty of time to make this game. Pokémon Go has better rates than this game and it’s been out for years. Just take what you have in polemon go and apply it to this game. Seriously don’t disrespect the monster hunter franchise with a game like the you just released do better Niantic! We deserve more than this crap..Version: 61.1
✓ What’s the pointYou hit a wall where monsters are too strong to fight, yet the ones you can actually beat can’t drop the materials you need to upgrade..Version: 68.1
✓ Timer too shortShould increase the timer to 3mins, a lot of people got frustrated with the whole timer even existed..Version: 61.1
