It tells the story about the group of specialized monster hunters, who explore newly discovered continent and in the meantime they have violent ecounters with local wildlife. Human characters have anime-like looks with big eyes and round faces, and also we are often acompanied by small, antropomorphic race of cats in our adventures. It has typical, Japanese style with frequent fights and oversized weapons for oversized beasts. In Monster Hunter World we hunt various huge, fantastic monsters. Monster Hunter World seems to have it all, yet I doubt that this is the “typical japanese game”. Yet we got some stereotypes on games from there, which are: anime-like graphics, oversized weapons and things like that. Eastern market of games seems to be very isolated from the western one and most of the western players know very few games from there, mostly on Nintendo console or MMO’s. That means, that a lot of western players might be confused. It’s the first game in the series that made it’s debut on japanese and western markets at the same time. It was not only developed for stationary platforms, such as PS4 or PC, but also game had a very sucessful marketing campaign before it’s arrival to stores around the globe. First games of the series, which got recognized outside eastern markets are Monster Hunter 3 and Monster Hunter 4, yet since they were made for mobile platforms, they didn’t had the same chance, as Monster Hunter World has.

Monster Hunter series isn’t well know to most of american or european players.

Monster Hunter World is an action RPG game, developed by japanese studia Capcom.
