Story

In Monster Hunter Rise, you step into the role of a newly promoted hunter tasked with safeguarding the peaceful Kamura village from the periodic Rampage—a calamity that unleashes enraged monsters across the region. As you gather your arsenal and assist the village in its preparations, unravel the mystery behind the Rampage before Elder Dragons join the fray, starting with the formidable Magnamalo.

Gameplay

True to the Monster Hunter series, MHR revolves around epic boss battles where each large monster poses a formidable challenge. Combat demands strategy and precision; flashy moves belie the danger, akin to the demanding gameplay of Dark Souls.

You're never alone on your hunts. Whether solo or in multiplayer mode supporting up to four players, you're accompanied by a trusty Palico—a cat-like warrior—or a Palamute—a canine companion that doubles as a mount and battle ally. Both can be equipped with their own gear and weapons, enhancing their effectiveness in combat.

Mastering the wirebug system is crucial. These versatile beetles act as grappling hooks for exploration, grant special weapon moves, and even temporarily bind monsters, turning them into powerful mounts.
