While most Monster Hunter games are about hunters hunting monsters, the Stories subseries casts us as Monster Riders who raise, train, and ride Monsties. And I mean ‘ride’ in the sense of ‘sit on their back and fly around shouting weeee’, not the usual ‘leap on their back and cling on while stabbing them in the eyes’ sense. Stories does have combat, mind, with turn-based RPG battles instead of the usual hack ‘n’ slashing. It was first released on 3DS, then did spread to Android and iOS doodads. Now Capcom have remastered it for new platforms.

Monster Hunter Stories is coming for Windowsvia Steamon the 14th of June. The remaster is also headed to PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch.
The sequel, Wings Of Ruin hit PC in July 2021. In ourMonster Hunter Stories 2 review, Ed explained it’s “a turn-based take on classic Monster Hunter that lacks their vibrant worlds and fun exploration, but makes up for it with a fairly compelling story, moreish monsties and excellent combat.”
