• 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!

Ratings and reviews

This is a good game on the 3DS. I have a powerful phone that can run way more graphically intensive games than this but I've experienced a lot of very annoying audio issues, ( constant stuttering and skipping) and it makes the game unplayable without muting the sound. The frame rate doesn't dip but alot of the charm of the game is the music and SFX which I have to miss out on. Changing the graphics settings doesn't solve the issue.

This is a very fun game, and absolutely not made redundant by the sequel on switch. I could go on about everything good about the game itself for a very long time. But as a port....it's not great. After a few days of playing, the audio now skips every time a new sound (like walking) would play. I've tried every fix I can, both inside and outside of the game. No audio device or in game audio setting will fix it. It's so maddening I have to play without audio.

The game is great. I almost bought it on my 3DS ages ago, but overall I'm not a fan of the system. This port was a great price and gave me the ability to play on my phone without having to bring a second device. The reason for 2 stars off is that I bought this to play on some long plane rides, but it turned out the game gives me a license error if I don't connect to the internet. I'm not playing the multiplayer, just trying to keep myself occupied during some traveling.
