• Story
The story begins in a forest near the village of Riders. Three young friends—the hero, Lilia, and Cheval—stumble upon a shining egg.

The trio perform a playful imitation of the Rite of Kinship, only to be shocked when it actually succeeds!

The egg hatches, revealing a baby Rathalos, a flying wyvern also known as “the King of the Skies.” The trio affectionately name him “Ratha,” and take him back to the village.

Days later, without warning, the village is beset upon by a monster infected by “the Black Blight.” They manage to drive it away, but not before it devastates the town—and leaves indelible scars in the hearts of Cheval and Lilia.

A year passes...

The hero receives a Kinship Stone from the Village Chief and officially becomes a Rider. Cheval and Lilia both leave the village, each on their own path. The hero, though separated now from childhood friends, partners up with the cheerful Navirou, and embarks upon a new adventure into the world of hunters.

A story of friendship and triumph await you—ride on into the world of Monster Hunter Stories!

This so called Prolog / Free Version is very good. You will get used to the gameplay in no time. The graphic, story, plot, are outstanding. Although I prefer the open battle system rather than turn based, but it's not a big deal for me. I need 5 hours of gameplay to finish this free version. Absolutely will buy the paid version. Good job Capcom.

Nice game. It's refreshing to see something like this in the Mobile area. BUT Unfortunately it still feels like an unfinished product because it's Not translated in English. With a $27.99 Canadian Pesos price tag I would expect the game to be fully completed for the Western Market. I also experienced a serious bug where the game would not run if it was on an external storage SD. So I had to switch it to internal storage just to get the game going. The error I was getting was that there was not enough storage on my device but I have over 40 GB's on my external and my internal with a total of 80 GB's free on my device. So if anyone's experiencing this issue just try to do a swap of your storage.

As a rpg, it's good. The controls are clean, the story feels good. No complaints. As a Monster Hunter game, I feel like it's missing a lot I like about the series. Of course combat is different, very simplified to make it more rpg-like than action-like. As far as I can see, multiplayer is also less interesting. No more groups cooperating to complete a difficult hunt. Now it's just a Pokemon duel. It's not a bad game at all. If you're long for an rpg, this is a good pick. If you're looking for a mobile Monster Hunter, this isn't it.
