Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate 2014

Is it still worth playing?

Capcom's 2014 action role playing game for the Nintendo 3DS, released in Japan as Monster Hunter 4G and in North America and Europe in 2015 as Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate. You hunt monsters in quests and craft weapons, armor and items from their materials, and your character does not improve by itself, since abilities come from equipment. There are fourteen weapon types, including the new Insect Glaive and Charge Blade, you can climb walls and mount creatures, and bases are spread across several camps. Combat is deliberate, as long attack and healing animations leave you exposed after a mistimed move, and up to two Palico companions join a hunt. Guild Quests give each player different missions with randomly generated equipment. Hunts built on learning a monster's patterns and committing to each attack still reward patience today.
