Monster Hunter Stories

Monster Hunter Stories recruits/hatches companion monsters and explores a story with eligible network battles.

Our take

Consider after checking the exact supported device/edition

Monster bonds and team building connect exploration to battles.

Keep in mind: Paid saves cannot import to AppleArcade; uninstalling erases local saves. Network battles unlock later and only match compatible paid non-Japanese iOS users; several handheld features excluded.

What you can do

  • Find eggs and raise Monsties
  • Explore story/dungeons
  • Use entitled GameCenter battles/autosave

Good for

  • Players wanting this specific companion-monster RPG

Consider alternatives for

  • Users expecting handheld/Arcade parity or unrestricted cross-region multiplayer

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 8.0.
  • Paid saves cannot import to AppleArcade; uninstalling erases local saves. Network battles unlock later and only match compatible paid non-Japanese iOS users; several handheld features excluded.

Privacy & permissions

GameCenter and saves need protected account access; preserve supported backups before app deletion.
