Monster Hunter Riders gameplay details

Ahead of Monster Hunter Riders launch on 19 February 2020, Capcom has released more gameplay details via livestream, showing off the battle system. The upcoming mobile game focuses on the continent of Felgia, where Monster Riders are prevalent with a guild to themselves.

Similarly to Monster Hunter Stories, Riders and Monsters fight as pairs. Three Rider pairs will form your main party. Turn-based battles makes up the combat system, and you choose skills to use instead of an attack triangle. The characters seem to have a larger focus, with Riders having their own skills showcasing their weapon attacks and personality. There are skills that also utilize items from within the series too. SP is needed for skills, and should you save up enough, you can use powerful Tag Skills.
