When a monster strikes, the fearful hide, but the brave? They ride.
Venture into monster nests to collect eggs and hatch a wide array of
species with uniquely powerful skills. Form teams, battle alongside
them, crush opponents with combo attacks, and ride into the sunset a
champion. Need more muscle? Then mix and match genes to create monsters
with more abilities!

When a monster infected by the Black Blight attacks your remote village
of riders, tragedy will thrust you into an exciting yet dangerous world,
where you must bond with monsters on your adventure. As the story snakes
along, you'll encounter a wealth of side quests and hours of challenging
turn-based battles where you must coordinate monster skills, rider
skills and enemy attack patterns. The instinctive rock-paper-scissors
combat system is a series first, a breath of fresh air for veterans and
newcomers alike. It's the perfect entry point into the popular Monster
Hunter universe and a game unlike anything else in the series! You can
even battle other players online, locally, or via the StreetPass™
feature!
