Overview

The Monster Hunter franchise is best known for its similarities to Phantasy Star Online and insane popularity in Japan. It is an action-RPG that involves character growth by gaining better armor and equipment. The main goal of the game is to increase your hunter rank by completing quests.

Monster Hunter has 3 Generations of monster designs. 1st Gen appears in Monster Hunter and Monster Hunter Freedom, 2nd Gen appears in Monster Hunter 2, Monster Hunter Freedom 2 and Monster Hunter Freedom Unite, and the 3rd Gen appears in Monster Hunter Tri, Monster Hunter Portable 3rd, and Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate. Some Monsters also have a subspecies like the Silver Rathalos and Gold Rathian.
