Monster Hunter Outlanders

App Store Editors’ Notes

Monster Hunter To-Go

I was definitely a little nervous when I first heard this game announced over a year ago, but please be a assured Timi has done a great job so far in their handling of this IP. I’ve played ever generation of monster hunter to-date so I say with years of experience with the series backing me, this game fits prefect alongside everything else. They did simply the controls a bit, but not so much that it feels brainless, still challenging with the learning curve we’ve seen come to love and expect from the series. The gatcha doesn’t get in the way, so if that bothers you, rest assured, to can get by without spending a dime. If you love Monster Hunter and Breath of the Wild style exploration, you will easily lose yourself here. Will note there is a slight change to the stamina system during exploration but it makes sense in the context of everything else, and we don’t have all the weapons yet, but I know that will come with time. Try it, I think you’ll love it.

Few Hour Review from MH1 Vet

Bit of review of this game with probably around ten or so hours in now, will later update as I get to later content. First off, I’m fairly impressed how the game runs on my iPad and that the pair dual sense PS controller is mostly pick up by the game. Still, controller support needs a bit more improvement. On to combat, it is for sure more arcade like Rise but the weapons still feel like there is some heft to them and the parry windows are nice (seriously can Hammer get that in the future MH games going forward). Difficulty wise atm, the monster are fairly easy but I not going to full judge on that just yet since this mostly like low LR fights still and well being a MH1 vet these gonna seem easy to me. Hopefully the later content brings up the heat on the fights once I get those unlocked. Environments are nice and large which kinda surprise me for a mobile game. Crazy how far the tech has come on that. Okay, on to what I don’t like…can there please be better voices? I’m in agreement with some others about female voices being too high pitch and just to be blunt very over generic in sound. Overall, I am enjoying the game and will update the review once get to later content.

Pretty happy.

I’m very stoked about this game app. I feel very connected to the monster hunter games. Graphics and character build is the same fun. Takes so much hours to get my character the way I want it. There’s so much things to do and honestly almost too much. The only complaints I have is the builds for your characters. I can’t tell which armor or weapons I have copies of. I cannot tell if I already have them either equipped or even in my storage. So I end up making more armor or weapons than I need to. I can can’t tell. Other than that. I have serious fun on this game. The recruit your own ai team and being able to switch to co-op brings a nice feel of if I want to mingle with everyone or just do my own thing. Everything on this game is going the right path. So not anything really bad to complain about. More so a lot to be happy with. Especially being a mobile game.

Wi-Fi only again

Come on guys I was really hoping this wasn’t another online only game. I don’t understand what the obsession is when it comes to these types of games. even if more money was the case if you look at the long time replayability of most of the games that are on the App Store, I guarantee you you would make more money if the game at least had an off-line single player mode where you don’t need constant Internet connection to even boot let alone play the game look at monster Hunter world and some of your other monster hunter games that do not require online only access and the funniest part about all of this is you can still add your micro transactions or whatever else you want to add. The only thing that some of us ask is to be able to play it. Without the need of constant Internet connection a lot of players rather play off-line as well not just multiplayer. I get that you’re trying to appeal to the majority audience, but what about us off-line single players?

Phenomenal. So much to do!

I’m having such a great time just fighting. They don’t have the gunlance (🥺🥺🥺) so I have been having an absolute BLAST with heavy bowgun! There’s so many different gachas and such though, I just hope it doesn’t become pay to win. I don’t get super into gachas like some people (I like my money) but this is the combat I wished Monster Hunter Now had. That combat became so formulaic, I got a strong enough gunlance and could beat any hunt in like 30-45 seconds. This game keeps combat relatively fresh, being able to move around and unleash ultimate attacks and all the things you can build in the overworld and just…. It’s so great for being a mobile game. I can see this game being one of the best mobile games of all time if they play their cards right and continue drip feeding free content on top of the microtransaction stuff! Deserving of 5 stars so far! Blew me away!

First Monster Hunter game I’ve played

As the first game of the series for me, I’m now a huge fan. I’ve played several hours on the iPhone 17 Pro and I’m going to play many hours more. I keep the graphics at the highest setting cause it only skips frames when a lot of players are loading in but it’s generally smooth and visually amazing. My phone doesn’t get hot but then again I’m not playing in the sun, I’m in cool weather. Outside in the sun you’ll have a problem cause the game will work your device to its limits. It’s not a cheap port, it’s made from the ground up for mobile, with an amazing graphics engine, lots of unique animations, pre rendered and real time cutscenes from the engine, awesome textures like wet mud on mud creatures. Very impressive game, I’m gonna have to play the PS5 monster hunter after I’m done with all chapters in this. It’s now my defacto game to play until GTA VI.

WHAT A BLAST! 💕

I absolutely love this game. I played the first monster Hunter the world that came out and after that I hadn’t played any other titles I saw this in the App Store, downloaded it and here we are after three days of constant playing and just love the game, the energy part could be a little bit you know smoother waiting and then as you progress, the ability to upgrade slows down unless you invest money in it but other than that, love the game I hope the developers see this and hopefully there’s something that can be done regarding the monetization part of it. I understand monetization is a it comes to the company part, but make the upgrading part just a little bit easier especially the three other champions because collecting all the resources and exploring, it does take a little bit of time other than that great game.

FANTASTIC GAME

I was a little hesitant at first, I definitely thought a game of this quality had to be a try before you buy situation. Turns out you can play the entire game for free, with the option of spending money to unlock certain characters or aesthetics faster. The download was an absolute beast, but when I got into the game I realized why. The gameplay is fantastic and far better than just about any other mobile game I’ve played. Skippable cutscenes, fast travel, and many other simple quality of life features allow you to enjoy the real meat of the game, which is the hunts themselves. Not to mention the epic design featured in the world of monster hunter. Overall, I’ve been blown away by this game and still find it hard to believe it’s really free!
