Fan Game:Monster Hunter: Primal

Plot[]

Monster Hunter: Primal takes place mainly in the wild. This is because at the beginning of the game, the player is given a prologue, giving context as to why. Long ago, two brothers fought over control of Konan Village. The brother who lost was exiled from Konan village, along with his followers and family. They eventually found themselves in the wilderness, where they created their own home. The main character is a hunter who was born in this village. As they and their handler prepare for their first hunt, the village is attacked by a(n) [Currently unspecified monster], and it is completely demolished. The hunter spends the game hunting monsters and helping rebuild the village. At least, until they find the source of the attack...

Gameplay[]

Open World: Similarly to previous entries, Monster Hunter Primal has a variety of open-world areas, with each locale having a large map with no loading screen between areas. This allows for hunters and monsters to clash throughout different areas without interruption, or for vicious chases where the monster can barrel through areas as they trail on fleeing hunters. With the variety of pets brought to the table, multiple modes of transportation are at the hunter's disposal.

Partners: Both Palicoes and Palamutes are returning, alongside a new partner to help the hunter on their journeys. Palicoes would be with the hunter at all times, and the hunter would be able to swap between 1 of 2 mounts. Palamutes are fast, land-based mounts that ferociously slash and bite at monsters in combat. Palamand is the slowest and most defensive of the two, but is able to swim quite fast, perfect for aquatic transportation.

Gadgets: Hunters are able to make certain items that can help them traverse the world or fight monsters. They are made by the craftsman in the village, a new occupation to help the hunter on their quests.

Countering: When a monster does a certain attack, the hunter would be able to counter their attack, giving them the upper hand. See the list of counters [here.]

Assigned Character: In the singleplayer campaign, the player's hunter is assigned a specific name in the story. The name will be different depending on which gender the player picked. This name is spoken out in cutscenes, and each of the two hunter characters have their own voices. These do not apply in multiplayer, and like previous games, the hunter's name, voice, etc. are completely customized outside of the story campaign.

Setting[]

This game takes place in the New World. When the hunter enters high rank, the Deserted Island from the Old World becomes a playable area. There are also small areas dedicated to fighting certain Elder Dragons, or certain monsters of their level.
