Monster Hunter Now

Monster Hunter Now is a location-based action RPG where players hunt monsters in the real world. The game features intuitive one-handed combat and encourages exploration to find and battle various creatures. Players can collect monster parts to craft gear, but progression is often hindered by energy limitations and a pay-to-win monetization model.
