Monster Hunter Rise is Finally Released on Nintendo Switch!

Greeted with great enthusiasm as a promising new Monster Hunter series, finally Monster Hunter Rise has been officially released today for Nintendo Switch. The release of this game received a huge response in many countries, including Japan, where the Nintendo Switch market really dominates, plus a sizable Monster Hunter fan base.

Regarding the game itself, Monster Hunter Rise is the latest game series in the franchise that carries a Japanese theme. Apart from the presence of cool new monsters, this game introduces a new, more responsive gameplay system with Wire Bug. This gadget allows the player to execute a series of new weapon combo techniques as well as use it as a flexible Grappling Hook tool.

One of the new features that are no less cool is Wyvern Riding, which as the name suggests allows you to control monsters by riding them. Using the basic concepts that have been built from the previous series, players can ride monsters to fight other monsters as well or hurt them by crashing into walls.

In this game the players will be taken on a mission to investigate the mystery of the Rampage that threatens the peace of Kamura village. Later players are also given the opportunity to engage in large-scale battles similar to tower-defense, where they must use all available access to weapons to trap and defeat monsters before they can penetrate the defense.

For additional information, Monster Hunter Rise will release the latest update towards the end of April. This update will bring Apex Rathalos to hunt as well as various other overhauls.
