Monster Hunter Stories vs Pokemon Legends: Arceus
Monster Hunter Stories
Monster Hunter Stories is a Pokemon-like version of the famous Monster Hunter game franchise where you venture into monster nests to collect eggs, hatch them into a wide variety of monsters, assemble the best of the hatchlings into teams and challenge the game's AI or other players via the multiplayer mode to battle. The combat system in this iconic series has been reworked to fit its new gameplay, opting for a turn-based, rock-paper-scissors combat system that is the series' first. Best yet, you can even get into customizing the skills and attributes of the monster hatchlings you get by breeding. And of course, the game is made complete with an exciting storyline that will keep you hooked to the game til the very end.Monster Hunter Series is honestly a breath of fresh air from the usual action-adventure gameplay you might be familair with. This unique combination of features also made this game a great entry point for newcomers looking to get into the Monster Hunter game series.
Pokemon Legends: Arceus
Pokemon Legends: Arceus is the exciting new "prequel" to the highly popular Pokemon franchise. Step into the world of Hisui, which will be known as Sinnoh in the future, the era way before the mainline Pokémon games in this game. Go on excursions to explore the vast region, surveying, catching, and studying Pokémon you meet along the way. Set out from Jubilife village, and visit the neighboring areas throughout the region, like other settlements and breathtaking locales. Though there are no gym leaders, you’ll meet wardens and Frenzied Pokémon who need your help. Apart from intense Pokémon battles, you’ll need to calm down rampaging Frenzied Pokémon through balms and other tactics.In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, you’ll play as either Rei or Akari, part of the Galaxy Team of the Survey Corps. Your goal is to meet and survey every Pokémon in the region to complete the region’s first-ever Pokédex. You’ll meet various characters along the way, like Professor Laventon, Commander Kamado, various merchants, and the members of the Pearl and Diamond Clan.
Pokémon Legends: Arceus is not your typical “come-of-age story” and “challenge the Pokémon League adventure”. It’s an all-new type of quest where you don’t have to be the best: you just have to catch’em all!
