Rise’s more modern sensibilities don’t eliminate deaths that feel unfair or stuns that seem too long. Rise’s new Rampage battles offer turrets like this one to help fend off monsters. These are the kind of frustrations that cause Monster Hunter vets to look at you and shrug because. It still offers those bullshit moments, like watching helplessly as your Hunter gets carted back to town because you couldn’t get them up fast enough. The freedom to fly from one turret to the next prevents Rampages from ever being dull, and leaves me juggling turret repairs and setting new traps for the monsters - a welcome departure from the more structured hunts.ĭespite my Wirebug zipping, Rise is still Monster Hunter at its core. The arenas have to be large to accommodate the size of some of these monsters, so a tower defense mode like this wouldn’t work without the Wirebug’s added mobility. I need to zip up and around the map to set up turrets and level up my base as I progress. But the arenas are huge, and the distance between where I am and where I need to be makes walking feel far too slow. Rampages play out in the game’s normal third-person perspective. But it’s worth knowing what you’re signing up for if you’re a hardcore player.

It’s a satisfying feeling, being in complete control of my movements. I can zip to dodge an attack, dodge again in midair, and bring my hammer down on the monster’s head with a crack. I started Rise using the Wirebug just to dodge and recover, but it didn’t take me long to learn how to zip around fights and bash on the monster from creative angles. As it lowers Rise’s skill floor, it also raises the skill ceiling, allowing for incredible plays. I have more chances to save myself from the often brutal enemy AI.īut that mobility cuts both ways. I can escape a fight by scaling a mountain, or follow a retreating monster by zipping over some buildings. I don’t only have to choose between dodging left or right I can also dodge up. It lets me pull myself to safety and heal before the monster can catch me again. Instead of lying on the ground after a big hit, I can use my Wirebug to recover in midair. This mobility helps give Rise a more modern feel than its predecessors. The Rakna-Kadaki is a new monster in Monster Hunter Rise. The Wirebug opens up the entire map as playable space, instead of the prebuilt alleyways and arenas from previous games where I can battle beasts and collect mushrooms. I can climb a mountain by alternating between zipping and running up the side. I can use them back to back to dash twice as far, or just one at a time to get myself in the air for a quick strike. The Wirebug is not a tool you need to equip in Monster Hunter Rise it’s an unlimited system with a short cooldown, and it’s always with you, even back in town when you’re crafting weapons.
