More Details of Monster Hunter Generations Unveiled

Capcom have given us some more details of hte upcoming new entry in the Monster Hunter franchise, Monster Hunter Generations. The new trailer shows a new feature called Hunter Styles. With Hunter Styles players can now tailor their chosen hunter to how they want to play by selecting from four very different styles. Whether it’s focusing on mounting monsters by selecting Aerial Style, or maximising the Hunter Arts abilities that can be equipped with the Striker Style, there’s a way of play to suit every player. Each Hunter Style possesses unique movements and attacks only available to that particular style, encouraging players to experiment and find the perfect fit for how they want to play with each of the game’s 14 weapon types.

As well as the differing styles, you can now also take advantage of Hunter Arts; spectacular special moves which can provide a powerful offensive flurry, a quick escape from attack, or even a helpful healing boost for a hunter and their teammates. Unleashing a Hunter Art at the right time can often make the difference in tight battles against powerful monsters. Only a limited number of Hunter Arts can be equipped however, so players will need to carefully strategise as to what suits their style of play best. The game is so far shaping up to be the most customisable entry in the series so far when it arrives on the 3DS this summer.
