5 Reasons Why World Fans Should Play Monster Hunter Generations
Hunting Styles and Hunting Arts
The Monster Hunter games have never really been about flashy moves and special attacks up until Generations. The game brought in two new special features, the Hunting Styles and Hunting Arts, that added in another layer of flexibility and customization to the series. Hunting Styles are basically different forms for your hunter, giving them a nice little boost depending on what play style you prefer.
The Aerial Style, for example, is perfect for those who love mounting, giving players all the tools they need to stay afloat and hunt monsters from the sky. This style lets players stay airborne longer, thus opening new possibilities for veterans in the series. Meanwhile, those who have great reflexes might want to look into the Adept Style, which is a more punishing play style that gives you extra buffs when you manage to dodge an enemy’s attack at just the right moment.
Hunting Arts, on the other hand, are your super moves that can turn the tide in combat when used correctly. These skills can range from weapon-specific attacks to extended dodging, and the specific Hunting Style you choose limits how many Arts your hunter can use during a hunt. Those new to Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate might want to stick with the Striker Style, which lets hunters use four different Arts. Capcom apparently decided to remove Styles and Arts from World, so Generations Ultimate is pretty much the only game to have it.
