Monster Hunter X is the next installment in the famous action RPG series started in 2004 with Monster Hunter developed on the PlayStation 2 console. This time, it is a game created for the Nintendo 3DS hand-held console. Once again, the game takes place in a fantasy world in which an amazing adventure awaits. The project was supervised by Yasunori Ichinose – the director of the previous portable installments of the series.
The game mechanics haven’t changed much, allowing the player to complete various missions that focus mostly on fighting monsters. A mountain village called Beruna is the player’s base of operations, but during the journey the player will also find locations known from other entries of the franchise. The developers added several novelties to the game that should seem familiar to fans of the series. Weapons in Monster Hunter X have four unique movement sets called Hunting Styles which are the equivalent of Skill Ranks known from Monster Hunter Frontier G8. The system is additionally supplemented by Hunting Techniques which fans know under the name of Finishers from Monster Hunter Online.
The game employs the technology used in the Monster Hunter 4G game, offering high quality 3D visuals.

Game Ratings for Monster Hunter Generations Video Game.
GamesBeat: 79 / 100 by Willie Clark
The new mechanics and features — well welcomed — don’t make up for just how overly familiar everything feels, or the overall lack of new monsters and material, and I’m not sure if Generations ever entirely justifies itself.
Eurogamer: by Dan Pearson
The fresh arts and styles help mask the musty taste of recycled material, but Generations is still a new recipe with old ingredients.
Guardian: 5 / 5 by Rich Stanton
Capcom’s brilliant Nintendo DS series about hunting fearsome creatures just got even better – but it still might not be for everyone
