  • gameplay10 mentions

    Gameplay reviews highlight a stark contrast between experiences: one player finds the mechanics clunky and frustrating, likening movement to a "drunken clown" and criticizing unclear controls and bugs, while another praises the refined mechanics of a sequel, emphasizing the satisfying hunt and strategic combat that retains the essence of its predecessor. Overall, the gameplay appears to be polarizing, with some enjoying the core mechanics and others feeling let down by execution and clarity.

    • “After putting in over 800 hours into this game's predecessor, Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, this game plays with the gameplay mechanics a bit while still retaining the good feel of victory after each hunt.”
    • “Like the other games in the series, the main gameplay focuses around your character hunting monsters, with the key focus of avoiding their attacks and attacking at opportune moments between their attacks, often times hitting their weak points for massive damage.”
    • “One mechanic that I abused greatly seemed to have been removed until the final boss, and that is the popular tactic known as sleep bombing; towards endgame, you're given the only weapon with the sleeping status effect.”
    • “The walking mechanic makes you feel like a drunken clown in a cartoon every time you take a step.”
    • “There really isn't too much to say about this game except that for the price it costs, I had expected a bit more. Honestly, the gameplay was just plain sad and underwhelming, not to mention the game isn't clear at all on what the controls are, so you have to figure it out as you go.”
    • “We have missing options, a non-existing story, short gameplay, and bugs/glitches here and there.”
  • graphics5 mentions

    The graphics of the game are generally described as decent, with some users noting that they are average but not terrible. The atmosphere is praised as fantastic, contributing positively to the overall experience, though some feel the graphics could be improved further.

    • “Nice game, just bought it and the graphics are nice.”
    • “The only good thing I can say in its defense is the graphics aren't terrible, but even then they're just average.”
    • “Beside some sensitivity and graphics settings, we do not get anything regarding our controls.”
    • “The graphics are pretty decent, the atmosphere is fantastic and the concept is solid.”
    • “Ok graphics”
  • story4 mentions

    The story is perceived as a mixed bag, with some players appreciating its moral about perseverance, while others criticize it for being underdeveloped, short, and plagued by bugs. Overall, the narrative lacks depth and coherence, leading to a frustrating experience for many.

    • “Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
    • “We have missing options, non-existing story, short gameplay, and bugs/glitches here and there.”
    • “Enjoyable enough for a fifteen or twenty minute game, but it can't be completed due to weight issues for the two final mission items.”
    • “I fear creating another knockoff of a game and have put several months just into my storyline, not including classing up on and matching Unity and others into a growing nightmare of a game from the mind of an 80's kid.”
  • atmosphere4 mentions

    The atmosphere of the game is widely praised as fantastic and effectively creepy, enhancing the overall experience. Reviewers note that while the concept is solid, the atmospheric elements could have been leveraged even further to amplify the game's creepiness. Overall, the atmosphere significantly contributes to the game's impact, with some players finding it intensely unsettling.

    • “The atmosphere is so fantastic that it enhances the creepiness of the game, making it a truly immersive experience.”
    • “The graphics are pretty decent, but the atmosphere is fantastic and really elevates the overall experience.”
    • “The atmosphere creeped me out enough to leave a lasting impression.”
    • “The concept is solid, but with an atmosphere like this, they could've made a concept that would go much more into how creepy the game would be, since the atmosphere is so goddamn fantastic.”
  • monetization3 mentions

    The monetization strategy of the game has been criticized for being exploitative, with accusations of plagiarism and cash grabs due to the use of uncredited assets and the presence of fake reviews. However, some users express respect for the developers' commitment to their creation, suggesting a mixed perception of the monetization approach.

    • “The developers here didn't credit any of the artists and real, actual game developers who created the assets, so this is plagiarism, as well as a cash grab.”
    • “They all appear to be written in either Russian or broken English, show up almost exactly at the same time shortly after the game launched on Steam, and all have a direct Steam purchase of the game. The accounts are consistently used to write fake reviews for asset flips and other cash grabs/scams.”
    • “I don't feel this is a cash grab, but the developers definitely have more faith in their creation than I can put out for mine, so I have respect for that.”
  • music3 mentions

    The music in the game is noted for its ability to evoke strong emotions, ranging from relaxation to creepiness, enhancing the overall atmosphere. Players appreciate the intense battle themes associated with the main monsters, which stand out as a highlight of the franchise, alongside the familiar map themes for regular hunts.

    • “Also, the music is creepy as all hell.”
    • “I relaxed for 5 minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay.”
    • “Perhaps the best part of the entire franchise is that the main 'large monsters' get their own battle theme, and this game is no exception, providing intense battle music for the two flagship boss monsters, as well as the usual recurring map theme for regular hunts.”
  • humor3 mentions

    The humor in the game is highlighted by its absurd scenarios, such as a professional hunter struggling with a 10kg weight limit while exhibiting exaggerated speed and antics, like scaring away bears with a gun. Players find the comedic elements entertaining, making the gameplay experience amusing and enjoyable.

    • “Basically, you try to hunt grizzly bears while also trying to find tools for your car to start again, but you have 10kg of space. It's funny because even I can lift at least 30kg on my back, but this professional hunter can't do that for some reason.”
    • “It was actually a bit funny to play; the character runs through his house faster than Sonic, and you can scare the bear away with the gun.”
    • “Checking this game out was funny as hell.”
  • stability1 mentions

    The stability of the game has been criticized due to missing options, a lack of a coherent story, short gameplay, and the presence of various bugs and glitches.
