ABOUT THE GAME

Monster Hunter: World is an action role-playing game developed and published by Capcom. The game is played from a third perspective similar to their previous games. In the game, the gamer takes the role of a Hunter, tasked to hunt down and either kill or trap monsters that roam in one of several zones. When the monster is killed or captured successfully, the player is rewarded through loot consisting of parts from the monster and other elements that are used to craft weapons and armor, amongst other equipment. The game allows the player to craft appropriate gear to be able to hunt down more difficult monsters, which in turn provide parts that lead to more powerful gear. Players may hunt alone or in a group of up to four players via the game's online multiplayer.

 

The character joins a research commission and is tasked to find monsters. The character does not have any intrinsic attributes, but instead, these are determined by what equipment the character is equipped with. This includes a weapon, selected from the previous series like a long sword, bow, or hammer. There are different types of combat moves and abilities the player can use, and pieces of armor, which can lead to beneficial or detrimental combat skills if matched properly.

 While some basic equipment can be purchased using in-game money, most equipment is built from loot obtained by slaying or trapping monsters, rewards from completing quests, or items gathered while in the field.

Once a monster is located, the player can take several approaches to either slay or capture it using traps once sufficiently weakened, using a combination of their weapons and items they are carrying. As a monster is weakened, its tactics will often change, frequently becoming more aggressive, or fleeing to a lair to rest or find food to recover. In combat, the player must watch their health because if it falls to zero, they faint and are taken back to camp but then can set out again at a reduced reward; however, fainting more than three times (it really depends on the quest) will cause the quest to fail. Further, the player must watch their stamina, which is consumed for dodging and certain other attacks and actions; stamina will recover quickly but the player must not take other aggressive actions for this to happen, which can be tricky in the heat of battle.

You can and upgrading of armor and weapons at a forge using the monster parts and resources gained from combat. As you defeat tougher monsters, they can make armor with more defensive value or particular elemental resistance or can improve weapons to be more lethal and deal elemental or debuffing damage. Weapons and armor also carry various skills that have a number of different effects for the player.

 

The game supports both single-player and up to four-player cooperative mode while being online; there is no local offline multiplayer. The game's quest system is the same in both modes. Players gather in multiplayer servers supporting up to sixteen players, during which they can post quests to invite others to join or join other existing quests as long as they have progressed far enough in the game's storyline.
