#MONSTER HUNTER RISE DEMO NINTENDO TRIAL#
Speaking of large monsters, the demo contains two main missions which can be attempted a limited number of times in solo, local or online multiplayer before the demo trial period ends on 31 st January. Plus, when used to capture monsters as part of the Wyvern Rider mode during missions, the Wirebug becomes a highly useful addition to taking down larger and much more difficult monsters. Since the Wirebug can be used in battle (and works differently depending on the weapon type used), the potential depth to this ability seems quite staggering. Of course, mastering the controls can take a bit of time, as with any new Monster Hunter feature, but it’s entirely worth the effort. By combining your stamina gauge with the Wirebug, hunters can easily scale cliffsides, while moving horizontally and vertically across the field. For those who enjoy exploring, discovering secret areas and gathering unique items for quests, palamute riding will make gathering much swifter and deliver a more flexible and entertaining hunt.įor ultimate flexibility on gathering quests, the Wirebug mechanic is the perfect tool for hard-to-reach areas. With the inclusion of fast gathering and zero map loadings screens taken from Monster Hunter World, riding on your Palamute and scaling cliffsides to reach higher locations is incredibly fun. While there is a Zelda-inspired feel to both features (via Wolf Link from Twilight Princess and the Hookshot tool), they fit so wonderfully into the Monster Hunter world that I’m surprised they haven’t been implemented until now. A nice starting ground to find your favourite weapon.įor newcomers and veterans, these two solo missions are a great way to discover, learn and adapt to using the two new features in the game: Canyne companions known as ‘Palamutes’ and the Wirebug mechanic. Thankfully, the two solo tutorial missions available – ‘Training’ and ‘Wyvern Riding’ – enables new (and rusty) players unlimited attempts to try out all 14 weapon types available in the game.
#MONSTER HUNTER RISE DEMO NINTENDO SERIES#
Forgetting that the series (and arguably this demo) is notoriously unhelpful to those new to the franchise, despite having a training mission to get used to the basics, it took me several hours to get to grips with the gameplay. I’ll be one of the first to admit that I haven’t stepped into the Monster Hunter series since 2016, following the launch of Monster Hunter Generations on the 3DS. At My Nintendo News, we were lucky enough to get our hands on an early access demo to experience what the latest in the series has to offer – and it hasn’t disappointed. Returning with its light-hearted humour, refreshed visuals supported by the RE Engine from Capcom alongside two new features, Monster Hunter Rise is a wonderful return – as far as first impressions go – to one of the developer’s best-selling action RPGs.
