Capcom’s Monster Hunter Stories for iOS hits all-time low at $5 (Reg. $20)

Reg. $20/$5

We are now tracking a solid price drop on Monster Hunter Stories for iOS. Once a full-on Nintendo 3DS title that sold for $40, the iOS version features the same story line and much of the same content (outside of Nintendo-specific amiibo features, local Network Battles, and StreetPass). Regularly $20 on the App Store, you can now score this highly-rated RPG for just $4.99. We have seen one light price drop since it released back in 2019 with today’s deal being a new all-time low on iOS. Players become riders — “people who don’t hunt but instead form bonds with monsters” — and recruit their own creatures to take into battle, all set against an overarching narrative that “begins in a forest near the village of Riders.” Rated 4+ stars from nearly 800 gamers. More details on Monster Hunter Stories below. 

The game kicks off as “three young friends — the hero, Lilia, and Cheval — stumble upon a shining egg.” But once their village is attacked by a “monster infected by the Black Blight,” the trio must manage to drive it away before setting out on the rest of the adventure. If you’re a fan of the Monster Hunter series on console, this is great way to take the world and your “monsties” with you on-the-go.
