Sure, you need the right equipment (weapons and armor) but you will also need to learn the behavioral subtleties of each species, as well. Play a while, though, and you quickly find out there's plenty foresight and strategy needed to bring down the game's toughest creatures. And at first, that's about all there is to it. You head off in search of specific beasts and slay them. In short, it's Monster Hunter.portable.įans already know what to expect. It's just not a fast moving game, and that's ok. More importantly, this pacing permeates most of the quests as well. This includes the way characters walk and run, and also how they attack. And yes, just like in previous versions, the game tends to move slowly. Freedom suffers from lengthy load times and very long quests, which simply shouldn't exist in a handheld title. This isn't a stripped down version of Monster Hunter for consoles. It's practically identical in terms of what it lets you do.
Fans of the console games will definitely appreciate the flexibility in Freedom's hunting system. And while running around butchering animals may sound simple and straightforward, it actually forms a bulk of the depth in the game. These have you roam the countryside in search of specific beasts to kill. The first, and coolest, are hunting quests. Quests in Freedom split into two categories. Also, you need to run back to your humble abode to gather your weapons and armor before accepting your very first quest. Still, you need to get your bearings and locate the many shops and merchants scattered about your hometown. This preliminary conversation doesn't take very long, thankfully, and you don't need to wait long before leaving the village. No, you don't have amnesia, but you do wake up in a quaint village and talk to the village elder before starting your journey. You start the game in typical RPG fashion. Freedom literally has only two kinds of beasts: the kind you've slain and the type waiting for you to slay them. Instead, it's just you, your gear and hordes of beasts on your 'to do' list. There's no serious love triangle or universal threat. It swaps dramatic story arcs and characters for a no-nonsense hunter who wants nothing more than to be the best in the world. And just like its predecessors, it shoots for a decidedly niche approach to the RPG genre. Monster Hunter Freedom is the first game in the series to hit the PSP.
