For the unaware,Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruinis a sequel to the 2016 3DS game and is a series that branches off from the mainlineMonster Huntergames. Instead of participating in fast-paced action-RPG combat, likeinMonster Hunter Rise,Monster Hunter Storiesis a turn-based RPG, similar toFinal Fantasy. Players will take control of a monster Rider as they travel across the land to uncover the truth behind the Razewing Rathalos.
Players will engage in turn-based combat with iconicMonster Huntercreatures such as Royal Ludroth, Rathian, and others. However, many elements of the series remain inMonster Hunter Stories 2, such as crafting and upgrading weapons and armor. There are also items to use during combat, like Herbs, Potions, and traps. Besides the combat, one of the main differences here is that this is meant to be a solo JRPG experience, and working together with other players is only possible through side modes.
