    Great Game that breaks away from the traditional Monster Hunter formula. This game plays more like a Pokemon game, allowing you to capture and battle alongside plenty of monsters.

    I wasn't expecting much when I popped this title in. I couldn't have been more wrong. The world is massive and colorful and you will not be putting this game down anytime soon.

    This is a great game, loving it so far. I never played a monster Hunter game previously, but building off of the existing franchise has helped! Highly recommend this game

    Like any Monster Hunter game, you'll have to dedicate some time to really get to the meat of the game but once you do it's an incredibly satisfying and fun experience.

    It's like a Monster Hunter-themed Pokemon, where you can hatch, raise, and battle with your monsters, as well as get Monster Hunter themed armor and weapons.

    While I know it's not a "real" monster Hunter game, it's still something you can dump a ton of hours in to. It has that Pokémon "gotta catch em all" aspect to it. My 5 year old lives watching me hatch the eggs and rise around on the monsters.

    This is a cute colorful and charming addictive pokemon style type of game set in the Monster World Universe. It pushes the graphical capabilities of the 3DS so the visuals are very nice. The gameplay is also very fun. Highly recommended.

    I don't enjoy the core Monster Hunter games, but I really enjoy JRPGs in general. And this game is a fun, though sometimes simplistic, combo of those.

    Been a MH fan since we got it in the west back on ps2. This is a great mix of MH elements with a Pokemon collecting and battle type system.

    This is where anyone new to the series should start. It is cutesy and fun yet bold and imaginative. Quite the cool Monster Hunter game!

    I don't like my beloved series being messed with. I know this isn't a main series entry (I have been playing the series since game one), but I was skeptical. It's an amazing RPG, however, with only one week component -- the story. The game is about 38 hours if you do some extra things, and there is plenty of extra content after the main storyline.

    Delivers something different from the Monster Hunter world. If you like the series but want to try more RPG based, this is for you!

    This game is a lot of fun, with an interesting combat mechanic, and fun story, but it does fall into the usual turn based combat tropes, and you'll recognize it very quickly (it's rock paper scissors)
