Although it retains the core gameplay of previous mainline entries, Monster Hunter Generations is considered a spinoff title according to the developers.
Major additions in this installment include special attacks, new combat styles, and the ability to play as Felynes who have traditionally only appeared as a companion to the player.
Like other titles in the Monster Hunter series, players undertake quests that involve hunting large dangerous creatures, either solo or in multiplayer. Announced in May 2015, the game was released in Japan as Monster Hunter X in November 2015 and internationally in July 2016. Monster Hunter Generations is an action role-playing game developed and published by Capcom for the Nintendo 3DS.
