Monster Hunter: Frontier

Monster Hunter: Frontier, released on PC and X360, is the first multiplayer-oriented installment of the incredibly popular in Asia series of action RPGs created by Capcom. The title takes the series into the world of MMO games. The game was designed with the Korean and Japanese markets in mind. It requires players to pay a monthly subscription fee. In 2010, developers ported the title to the Xbox 360 console.

Mechanics

In Monster Hunter: Frontier, players participate in hunting for various monsters, among which we will find many species known from the main console series. When we start the game, we create a new character and choose one of 11 character classes. Each uses a different tactic and type of weapon. These can be e.g. bows, hammers, swords or even firearms. Other players, with whom we can form alliances and create specialized guilds, can help us to compete and fight for survival. Unlike many RPGs, the title is rooted in a fast, action-oriented combat system that requires dexterity and speed rather than high levels or statistics. We strengthen the attack power of the heroes by wearing new armor pieces and using better weapons. We obtain the equipment by crafting it from the skins or claws of the defeated monsters, as well as using collected minerals and other materials, which can be found in many locations.
