Over six years ago, Capcom released Monster Hunter Stories on the Nintendo 3DS. Monster Hunter Stories was a drastic shift in comparison to traditional Monster Hunter, trading its real-time action combat for a turn-based system. On top of introducing an entirely different battle system, Monster Hunter Stories put players in control of a Rider instead of a Hunter, which saw them befriending monsters and riding them, as opposed to simply hunting them down for crafting materials and new armor and weapon designs. Now, Monster Hunter Stories is making a comeback to the Nintendo Switch, PS4, and PC via Steam with remastered visuals and fully-voiced characters on June 14, 2024, and Game Rant recently spent a little time previewing the game.
