About this game

The thrill of the hunt is calling. Begin your hunting adventure now!

🌎 Hunt monsters in the real world:
Embark on a global quest to track down and hunt some of the most formidable monsters from the Monster Hunter universe as they appear in our world. Forge powerful weapons and team up with fellow hunters to track down larger-than-life monsters and take them head-on.

⚔️ 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.

📷 See monsters around you with the AR Camera:
Experience what it’s like to have these iconic monsters appear in the real world with exclusive AR Camera features.

⏱️ 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

Pro: Visuals, monsters and weapon design are great. Frequent high quality updates. No ads Cons: Monetization is all over the show. No way to earn premium currency, and levels are pointless after the first dozen or so. Time limit for hunts is tiny. The game itself still is running better lately but connection is still very problematic. The slightest deviation from perfect connection and the game says nope, even at the complete screen, which is abysmal for a walking/gps based game

Very fun game. Love everything about it aside from how cash-grabby it can be. The potions are limited so you can't play very often unless you pay money to get 10 free potions a day. If they made the potions cost Zenny instead then the game would be much more fun. Overall it's an amazing game you won't want to put down, but you'll have to if you wish to save your money.

I played Ingress for a while and stopped when Pokémon Go came out. Been playing POGO on and off for years and still do more frequently cus of PVP. Got into MH Now few days ago. Quickly hit a paywall I never experienced with the other games. I have no potions. I literally can't do the basic function of the game without any potions. At least with pokeballs, you can always spin some stops or send/receive free gifts and keep going. It all seems to be paywalled in MH Now and less incentive to play.
