Capcom's Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection Brings Fresh Action-RPG Mechanics to JRPG Genre
Capcom's latest installment, Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection, is set to bring a fresh blend of action and RPG mechanics to the JRPG genre. This fictional world game maintains the series' signature monster-hunting while introducing a darker, more grounded story and a new protagonist, Captain Leo.
The game is set 200 years after its predecessor, amidst a conflict between two warring kingdoms. Players take on the role of Captain Leo, who is more involved in the story than ever before. The demo focuses on early exploration and monster-slaying battles alongside Leo's party.
Monster Hunter Stories 3 emphasizes the interactions between human characters, known as riders, and their monster allies. The game increases the focus on exploration in the overworld, with monsties having unique abilities to aid traversal. This promises a larger world to explore in its own unique way.
Capcom aims to contribute to the JRPG genre with Monster Hunter Stories 3, combining action elements with RPG mechanics. The game feels like a promising step forward for the sub-series, maintaining the blend of action and tactics from previous games while introducing a more grounded story and a greater focus on swapping monsties in battle.
