Monster Hunter Rise Deluxe Edition - Nintendo Switch

Okay so I wasn't sure what to expect from this since Monster Hunter World struggled on base consoles (at launch anyway they had performance problems). But here we are on a 30watt handheld and it runs really well and looks great. (yes it's not 4k, yes, I don't care, I'm referring to art design and the capabilities of the system. The RE engine really makes a big difference because some things (like special effects) look better here. Seems to be something the engine does well naturally. I have no idea how they crammed all this onto the Switch, it's one of the most impressive games on the handheld period. I loved World & Iceborne, LOVED it. Beat every monster the game had including Fatalis and this game improves on so many things. Rise has more monster variety, more weapons styles/looks, more armor looks/styles, better mobility, more attack moves, more options for your weapons with Switch-Skills & wirebug abilities. There's a lot of returning faces here but more from the older games so they got a big visual update & attack set. So, how does it handle online because Nintendo is notoriously bad with their online infrastructure. Well, I've gotten to HR7 and have had a total of one disconnect & getting connected with friends is really easy. You make a lobby, friends can join by finding you in the friends list and boom, in. Set a passcode or whatever. We've seen a few little hiccups with latency (monster sliding) but nothing that was "Oh Nintendo, you and your dodgy online". I can't comment on hooking up with strangers, that's not something I do with MH really. There's ONE new thing people might not like. There's active-tower defense missions. It's active because you can fight with your weapons & you man various turret types, but you also have to set them in set spots & choose if they're manned/auto or not. Mounting monsters is a huge deal in this (as is the whole game) so you can really slap around other monsters easier. There's the dragonator to use, a wyvern nuke etc, there's a LOT to do during these and they're chaotic for sure & it's deeper than you might expect, but it might not be your cup of tea. THE BIGGEST FIX FOR RISE OVER WORLD: ------------------------------------------------------------------- Co-op is VASTLY, BETTER. In World you'd be stopped from playing with friends at every turn because you'd have to go into the stage by yourself then find the monster to see an unskippable cutscene and they just kept, doing it. Even in iceborne they doubled down. In Rise? You can join any mission, even if you're a rank or two too low. The only time I was denied when I was in low-rank trying to join my friends high-rank mission. But after that? I was HR5, he booted up an HR6 mission and, yup. Got right in, got rewards and when I hit HR6 the mission was already counted as complete. THANK, YOU. I think the furthest apart has been 2 hunter ranks that I've tried and it worked fine. Also if you're looking for a deep story with characters & what not? The story exists, that's about all I can say. There's not a lot going on. There's too much to talk about here and I'm only HR7 and I'm sure there's plenty more for me to go. Look if you're on the wall about this, not sure if the Switch will be able to handle it or it'll be a step back: I don't think I can name anything besides the resolution that's a step back from World. Yes 30fps is a bit of a shame- especially if you're on PC with a 144hz monitor- but the game looks great, runs solid and has more than world did. I, love, this game.

This is an amazing monster hunter addition to the series. It carries over concepts from monster Hunter World while bringing its own new flavor of mechanics i found to be fun! Much like its predecessors, its not an easy game but with much practice its tons of fun. Been playing with friends and im happy I grabbed a copy!

Amazing graphics for a Nintendo switch game great game so far!

This is by far one of the best portable monster hunter games in the series. It takes many notes from it's big brother Monster Hunter World. The friend maps are open and aren't separated into smaller areas and there's a good variety. The movement is great. The wirebug adds a lot of verticality and makes getting to hard to reach areas easier. The gameplay feels fast and fluid; each weapon feels different and not too similar. With two handed weapons the attacks feel weighty but not too slow to make them unusable against a faster monster. The graphics are amazing. This is one of the best looking games on the switch hands down. If you've ever played a monster hunter game or played monster hunter world I would 100% recommend this game. It's absolutely fantastic

Its a good introduction to the Monster Hunter series for new players and an enjoyable game for old players with some fun new mechanics like wirebugs and Palamutes. A great move back to a portable system from Monster Hunter World and impressive graphics for the Switch. The multiplayer is easy to hop into as well. If you're into endless boss fights and crafting armor then this will be a good fit for you. If you're looking for a deep story with fleshed out characters I'd look somewhere else. It is fun to learn the behavior of each monster and explore different ecosystems though.

This is a 100% must buy for anyone already a fan of the series. Newcomers to the series will fall in love and play older games in the series because this game is so good. Capcom hit it out of the park with this game. It’s the best looking 3rd party game on the system. I’m amazed every time I play and think how amazing this game looks and plays on a handheld. You must own this game. You’ll get at least 100 hours of gameplay from this title. Through your single player story missions to your online multiplayer hunts, there’s so much content in this game with lots of free content coming soon.

The game is definitely amazing. You do not need to get the deluxe edition if you do not want the extra set or poses. Otherwise, Monster Hunter Rise is a great game. There is a lot of information for a newcomer, but is definitely fun to play with for multiplayer. This was my first time in this franchise and absolutely a buy. Free DLC expansion is on the way later this month and for the next year. If you are not interested on switch, there will be a PC release for 2022.

The Monster Hunter series Has always been held back by The fact that it was always more difficult for accessibility. Now that it is on the nintendo switch Now that it is on the nintendo switch Play ability of the game rises tremendously! This game is a great interpoint for people who are getting to know the Monster Hunter series as is the closest that has been to its original format since generations ultimate. You enjoy the games beautiful graphics and scenery as a result of the re engine! Enjoy!
