Monster Hunter Rise

Monster Hunter Rise is a hunting action role-playing game from Capcom, where the main loop is simple and endlessly deep: track a monster, learn its weaknesses, win the fight, craft new gear from its materials, and go after the next, bigger target.

Unlike Monster Hunter World with its realistic biomes, Rise opts for a Japanese folklore aesthetic: Kamura Village in the Edo-period style, mountains with cherry blossoms, Shinto shrine architecture. Key mechanics that were not in World: Wirebug, an insect grappling hook for acrobatic dashes and vertical traversal across maps; Palamutes, dog-like companions that replace mounts (you can now ride them right in the middle of a hunt); Wyvern Riding, temporarily mounting a downed monster and setting it against another.

14 weapon types with distinctive combat systems, from the Great Sword to the Hunting Horn. Each weapon gained new moves through Wirebug skills.

Online co-op for up to 4 hunters, plus local multiplayer. The Sunbreak expansion adds a new region, Master Rank, and dozens of additional monsters. It is a separate purchase and worth it.

The game's content is complete: the final update came out in June 2023. The interface and subtitles are in Russian.
