The base move-set is pretty straightforward, having been re-designed for the Switch to make use of the twin analogue sticks (thank God). There are also the Hunter Styles and Arts, which were introduced to the series in the original Generations (which only had 4, compared to Ultimate’s 6). Even if you’ve spent a lot of time in World, there are new things to learn, not least because although the 14 weapon types are largely unchanged, there were several moves, combos, and abilities added later that are missing here. Initially you’ll take on the low rank 1-Star quests, but it’s advisable for newbies to jump into the training missions first. There are no Investigations or Expeditions, however questing in GU is all-business. Generations Ultimate has a mind-blowing 93 large monsters to hunt, which for the sake of comparison is about 60 more than World. The set-up is deceptively simple: it’s a case of selecting a quest, stocking your item pouch with essential tools, and then heading out into the wildlands to either gather ingredients or hunt and slay a monster. The starting village is Bherna, but you’ll progress through three more settlements as you play. The basic premise remains the same, but as your greenhorn hunter arrives in a new village ready to track and research the many dangerous species of indigenous life. There are elements of it that were brand new, and still weren’t carried over into future releases. This is an older Monster Hunter, and a much less streamlined experience than World.Įven within the franchise, Generations Ultimate is a bit of an anomaly. Speaking frankly, there’s a fair chance you’re going to be a little disappointed. If you’re one of the ten million people who bought a copy of Monster Hunter World, but are in the sub-category of players who have never experienced the franchise before, you’re probably a little unsure of what to expect.
This edition is enhanced even further with improved controls, more content, and more polished graphics, and was released to Japanese audiences around this time last year.
It was originally released a few years back in 2016, though it being an enhanced port of a 3DS title, you’d be forgiven for thinking it was much older. For those of you as confused as I was about Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate’s place in the franchise as a whole, it’s actually the updated Switch version of Monster Hunter XX (that’s Double Cross), which was the Japanese Switch version of the 3DS’s Monster Hunter Generations.
