⚔️ Authentic hunting action carefully adapted to mobile:
Discover a variety of monsters depending on the habitat around you – Forest, Desert or Swamp – and engage in thrilling hunts solo, or band together with fellow hunters to take on these large monsters. The simplified tap-based controls and high-fidelity graphics enable you to engage in enjoyable hunting action wherever you go.

⏱️ Master the hunt in 75 seconds:
Can you complete the hunt within 75 seconds? Master the weapons, craft armor sets and hone your skills – exploit weaknesses and utilize every element at your disposal to take on the hunt.

🔴 Mark monsters even with your phone in the pocket:
With Adventure Sync, you can use a Paintball to track monsters while you explore your town and bring the hunt to your doorstep afterwards. As you explore, your Palico can mark passing monsters with Palico Paintballs, even while you aren’t actively playing, allowing you to return to them later, ensuring that the action never stops.

Ratings and reviews

Very fun to play if you're out and about, especially walking through parks and running errands. Problem is, it keeps crashing and just today I've lost two hunt tickets, which cost premium currency, which costs money. Additionally, the location has been really weird lately, jumping around and not being accurate. Like, showing me as across the street or too fast when I'm standing still. It's frustrating, I like the game but I don't know how much longer I'll put up with the shortcomings.

Update 9/2024: Issues have improved significantly and the updates continuously improve the QoL. Occasionally the character will stop responding to inputs, allowing you to take damage, but it's not as common now. Additional vanity items are expensive, especially considering I'm paying for the seasonal passes. The special Nerg event, too, is way too much $.

This has turned out to be a pretty good game. I like that the game is location based, different creatures in different areas spices the game up a bit. This isn't your typical hack and slash for sure. There is a bit of strategy that is required. Mindlessly attack the monster without paying attention, you will easily find yourself on your butt, or even worse, incapacitated. The updates for the weapons and combos... Chef's Kiss. Sound effects on point on headphones. This game 👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿
