[리뷰] Anytime, Anywhere Hunting Life’Monster Hunter Rise’ trial

‘Monster Hunter Rise’, the latest work of Capcom’s hunting action game’Monster Hunter’ series, is scheduled to be released exclusively on the Nintendo Switch on March 26th. Prior to this, Capcom is distributing a trial version of’Monster Hunter Rise’ through the Nintendo e-Shop, and this trial version will be distributed for a limited time from January 8th to February 1st at 17:00.

‘Monster Hunter Rise’ is a new work released after’Monster Hunter World’, which has achieved great global success. ‘Monster Hunter Rise’, which I enjoyed as a trial version, is remarkable that it maintains the various advantages shown by the development of the Monster Hunter series and adds a new system within the limits of the device called Switch. And the first thing you notice is excellent optimization.

The predecessor,’Monster Hunter World’, introduced a new world to Monster Hunter fans around the world with high-quality graphics, including PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. Here, even if it has been a complete version of Monster Hunter, it has shown perfection without lacking. In particular,’Monster Hunter World’ has sold over 20 million copies globally, including’Icebone’, an expansion pack.

‘Monster Hunter Rise’, which has returned as a device called Switch, provides a stable play environment through excellent optimization despite the device’s insufficient performance. I didn’t expect much because the previous work was so excellent in terms of graphics and completeness, but this is the level of graphics quality within the switch device. In addition, the frame retention ability is also satisfactory. You can enjoy 30 frames per second in both portable mode and dock mode without much trouble. This is the moment when the power of Capcom’s reengine is revealed.

In this trial version, four types of quests are provided to help you learn the process from the basics to real-world hunting.

The existing 14 types of weapons are provided, including a great sword, attitude, one-handed sword, double sword, hammer, hunting flute, lance, gun lance, slash ax, charge ax, Cho Chung-gon, light bow gun, heavy bow gun, and bow. When you choose a weapon, the quest starts with the basic items set.

Gamers can enjoy a total of 30 quests in the trial version. In the quest, in addition to the quest monsters, you can also meet the monster hunter’s representative large monsters, such as Rio Leia and Ao Ashira. In addition, the subjugation quest can be enjoyed in local play or online multiplayer. By playing the game through matching settings with users who speak the same language, network play was possible without much difficulty.

The biggest feature of this’Monster Hunter Rise’ is the gameplay using rope bugs. Rope bugs, like Spider-Man’s webswing, send bugs in any direction to help them move or climb high places. Basically, it uses the ZL key, and the rush consumes 1 rope bug gauge.

Through a rush using a rope worm, you can climb into spaces on rocks that are not normally accessible. Using this, even if there is no road on the map, it is possible to move using a rope bug. The map is more three-dimensional.

It is also possible to use rope bugs to evade or approach quickly. The dragon control system was also prepared in a way that utilizes a rope worm. When you perform an attack using a rope bug, the strings get tangled and you can control the dragon. Attacks using rope bugs are different for each weapon, and two types are prepared.

In the dragon control state, it is possible to attack a monster for a given time or to attack and move other monsters by controlling the monster. It can also rush against the wall to induce a blow, and if you are a good-sense gamer, you can make a monster hit the wall again.

In addition, rope bugs help to avoid quick avoidance. The use of rope bugs seems to be a key point for smooth hunting. Of course, if you are a gamer who has enjoyed the existing series, you can enjoy it the way you do it.

Here, there are large rope bugs, which are a kind of warp system, throughout the map to help you navigate the map. Since it is possible to move in a variety of ways than before, a form that allows you to enjoy the map in three dimensions has been completed. The map is filled with various environmental creatures and collectibles.

In particular, even though it was introduced as a portable device, it is commendable that it deviated from the existing area method and implemented the entire map like’Monster Hunter World’ without additional loading.

Overall, there may be some regrets when compared to the world directly, but the fact that it is portable and can be enjoyed anytime, anywhere can fill that regret. We look forward to the official release in March.
