Gameplay: 4/5
Although its a geo-location game, it doesn't force you to go out around the neighborhood all the time since monsters spawn on your location in a few minute intervals. But the leveling up will be slow if you do this since you just have to "wait". 😅
What's annoying in this game?
It's the limited gameplay when you're inside a fast moving vehicle. In some geo-location games, I enjoy travelling by bus while playing the game BUT here in MHNow, I am forced to actually put the game down while I'm inside a vehicle... And No, I am not the driver. I find it so disappointing that I can't collect resources while riding, all those iron ores.... 😫 left untouched.... haayy..
Suggestion:
Please add some sort of lure item so we can attract monsters without having to move all the time. Kind of similar to some geo games.
Please remove the movement restriction. It's a turn off to those who want to play while being a passenger in a vehicle.
Controls: 4/5
I LOVE that I can play this with just one hand. It's not perfect but it's already fun as it is. You just swipe your character to dodge and tap/hold finger on the monster to attack. However, I feel there's something missing... maybe more skills perhaps?
Skills/Actions: 3/5
The skills are limited to the type of equipment you have. So to get thay perfect skill you want, you have to craft that specific armor... and grind for it. Well, it's not that bad, just that you will have to be lucky enough to encounter that specific monster often if you plan to grind it.
Multiplayer: 3/5
Heavily relies on stable internet. There have been many times where we couldn't see other players because of slow mobile net. Slightly annoying but playable anyways. However, some monsters do need some teamplay when you're high level.
Item Shop: 3/5
Very limited items for now. And hell bent expensive.. well for me. The cheapest one is not that tad useful but only for those impatient players. Those who aim to be the top hunter will for sure, buy these things, to grind faster and level up faster. But for now, players can just survive without buying.... just need some patience... lol 😆
Overall, it's a good game. Not for impatient ones. But for those who just want to chill in their couch, and hunt some monsters every now and then, like me.. well you may enjoy this game without the need to rush.
