That apart, the turn based battle system is what truly stands out, with its simplified take on battling presenting players with a simple triangle mechanic (Power, Tech, and Speed), but layering nuance on top of that with combos, special skills, items, multiple different types of weapons with each, true to the mainline Monster Hunter games, playing differently, a Pokemon style weakness and resistance mechanic, and the Kinship Gauge.
#MONSTER HUNTER STORIES TRANSLATION SERIES#
Monster Hunter Stories is largely different from the previous games in the series, its bright, cel shaded graphics a far cry from the murky, realistic look the series has generally striven towards (and the first difference most will notice between this game and the mainline franchise). Eschewing the franchise’s usual loot grinding and action RPG tendencies for a turn based JRPG style of play, Monster Hunter Stories nonetheless retains the core essence of Capcom’s monster franchise, and delivers a charming, compelling game that will be great for newcomers and series veterans alike. But before that happens, the series has its one final hurrah with Monster Hunter Stories, the just released, gorgeous, charming, and addictive spin off of the franchise that offers an alternate take on the series’ lore and mythos.
