WHAT FOLKS ARE SAYING...
"Monster Hunter offers a truly unique and thrilling experience for solo RPG players. The game combines elements of adventure, exploration, and combat, but does so in a way that affects the balance of how you'll approach each challenge over the course of the game. It is a very elegant Guided by Firelights game that builds on the original system, but shifts it in new and very interesting directions." - René-Pier Deshaies.
"A flavorful punch of Weird West, side-scrolling Metroid style monster hunting action! Find the Legendary Bullets, find the Evil One, and don't lose your shit while you're at it!" - Perplexing Ruins.
"A wild experience. Like a bullet flying through a valley full of sinister shadows and ferocious monsters that are trying to rip you apart."-Role Per Second
En castellano:
Cuando el Maligno llegó a las Tierras Fronterizas y se hizo con el control de todo, persiguió y asesinó a todas las personas que eran miembros de la orden de Cazadores de Monstruos. Los cazadores de monstruos tenÃan la responsabilidad de contener y eliminar al mal que atormentaba a todos los habitantes del mundo.
Las Tierras Fronterizas están destruidas y a merced de bestias y monstruos violentos que corrompen todo lo que tocan. Los habitantes son desconfiados y el mundo ha cambiado tanto que nadie lo recuerda. Pareciera que ha llegado el fin de los tiempos, pero todavÃa hay una esperanza.
Eres el último Cazador de Monstruos y en tus manos está restablecer el orden del mundo. Tienes en tu poder la Escopeta del Destino, la única arma capaz de hacer daño al Maligno, pero para poder utilizarla necesitarás las Seis Balas Legendarias que se encuentran ocultas en diferentes lugar de las Tierras Fronterizas.
Tu misión será encontrar las Seis Balas Legendarias y recuperarlas todas para poder derrotar al Maligno. Cumple con tu misión antes de que te conviertas en un monstruo.
