Monster Hunter Rise SunBreak Free Download GAMESPACK.NET There are two sides to Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak. The first will see you out on a quest in a luscious jungle, gathering bugs and swatting away little monsters as you look for a snail: which you’ll then take a picture of, and be rewarded with a very fetching snail hat. The other side of Sunbreak is your hunter, helpless on the ground as a furious red-eyed monkey beast stomps your keyster into the ground. Or perhaps it’s a giant dragon with a rhino’s horn, one-shotting you with charges (which inflict poison to boot). It’s one of the cute aspects of Monster Hunter that, in a game built around brutal moves and nature red in tooth and claw, the hunters still ‘faint’ when a giant raging monster KO’s them. Don’t worry, everything will be fine. The real twist of the knife is the limited continues on each mission, such that ‘carting’ three times (you’re taken back to base on a cat-propelled stretcher) means a restart. It is a strange thing in 2022 to have an old feeling—that sense you’ve just spaffed 40 minutes up the wall on a fight and, because you went for an extra hit or screwed up a dodge, have to do it all over again. Monster Hunter Rise was first released on Switch in early 2021, and arrived on PC in January this year (here’s our review).TOP/BEST ADULT VIDEO GAMES IN UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

More in the lineage of the older portable titles than the all-singing all-dancing Monster Hunter World, Rise is absolutely crammed with weapons to try out, monsters to hunt, and loot to stuff away in boxes (and occasionally wear). It also greatly improved the player’s movement, made area transitions seamless, and was a more gentle singleplayer experience than what had come before. I wouldn’t say Rise is an easy game by any means. But it is one that is meant for most players to be able to finish, with the real nasties saved until the post-campaign hunts (one of the things about Monster Hunter games is they tend to have multiple points you could call the end). It also stopped at ‘High Rank’ hunts, where the series would traditionally go onto ‘G-Rank’ and later ‘Master Rank’ hunts and the training wheels really came off. Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak is the paradisal addendum and cold-hearted corrective to Rise’s more gentle on-boarding of players. This one is for the hardcore and goes for you more-or-less from the start. The opening of Sunbreak does, however, leave much to be desired. Your introduction to the expansion is a variant of the Hermitaur, a crab-like enemy. While it’s got some new moves and, hey, it’s a new Rise fight, this is an extremely familiar monster and encounter.

Deeper gameplay.

It’s a theme that continues for arguably longer than it should. Sunbreak quickly promotes your hunter to Master Rank, but you won’t see a truly new monster until you’re ready to go to Master Rank 3—which is a good dozen hours of hunting. To an extent this has always been the Monster Hunter endgame, and most longtime fans of the series won’t bat an eyelid, but a full-price expansion frontloaded with fights against palette-swapped versions of older monsters with a few new moves… it’s not as exciting as I was expecting. One change introduced almost immediately is the ‘switch skill swap’, which essentially lets you take two different loadouts of switch skills (think: special moves) into battle. At first this is just a nice thing to have, and comes with a neat bespoke animation that can transition into a dodge. Later it becomes even more woven-in to the fabric of your hunting style, as you acquire buffs that activate when skill-switching, allowing you to go overkill on things like weapon sharpening and minimise downtime. Skill-switching kind of stands for Sunbreak as a whole. This is a small change, but as you play more it becomes clear how much it improves the hunts. I main gunlance, and the switch skills are so different that I’m a bit set in my ways.Fairy Fencer F Advent Dark Force

But this adds a dynamism whereby you can now identify what might be really helpful against a given monster and deploy it. That’s kind of what this expansion is about: perfecting an already great hunting experience. Sunbreak only adds five truly ‘new’ monsters to Rise, and some of them, such as Espinas, have been in older games. Espinas is a good example of the kind of thing Sunbreak is really going for though. You won’t come across this thing until Master Rank 4, at which point you should say goodbye to your mother and make sure all your worldly affairs are in order. Espinas is like Diablos’ bigger, meaner older brother. It’s a giant dragon that adores charging at you, repeatedly, with huge wings that can catch lazy dodges and a horrible big horn that will without fail oneshot you. It doesn’t have a fancy moveset, it just runs at you again and again until it catches you, which it will, and the secret sauce is that it also poisons you. That means, even if you get hit and somehow survive, you now have to cure poison and heal while this thing keeps dashing around like Usain Bolt. It frequently stuns. Espinas hates me, and I hate it. Sunbreak holds back a lot of what it’s got. You don’t unlock the new switch skills until Master Rank 4, which is some chunk of time into the experience, and that’s around when you’ll start to see the newer monsters in action too.

New enemies arrive, old foes return.

Capcom may not have brought quantity in this regard, but it did bring quality. Five new monsters does feel stingy, but the later fights and Malzeno in particular deliver absolute fireworks. This elder dragon plays host to a swarm of vampire moths that can infest your hunter while he’s flying around blasting fireballs, shattering the ground, and whipping up the elements around you. Oh and it can warp. Get that stretcher ready. The elder dragons are my favourite fights in the series because Capcom’s designers make it feel like the entire world around you is responding to their presence, and Malzeno truly feels like an awful force of nature. Its armour set is also unbelievably sweet, adding the ‘Blood Rite’ skill that lets you heal when hitting broken monster parts: yep, they got some Bloodborne in there. Alright, let’s do this one more time: you are a hunter, and monsters are threatening your adorable little town. You’re given a quest list full of creatures to track down and turn into funny hats, and you’ll do just that until the townsfolk are safe, your build is optimized, and your outfit is as fly as your wirebugs. If you played Monster Hunter World’s Iceborne expansion, or pretty much any of Monster Hunter’s major re-releases before it, then Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak is going to be a very familiar Palamute ride through the park..

It’s a formulaic DLC full of exciting new foes and a couple cool new locales – and even though it doesn’t really have a ton of interesting surprises of its own, the quality of those additions reinforces just how fun that formula can be. Sunbreak is essentially structured like a brand new game, introducing the functionally identical hub town of Elgado to operate out of and a fresh storyline to follow there. That story is, once again, a largely ignorable and entirely predictable tale about how something is making the local monsters all hot and bothered, this time set in the European-themed Kingdom rather than the Japanese-inspired Kamura. Its characters are at least slightly more interesting this time around, but plot has never been the draw of Monster Hunter and that certainly doesn’t change here. As has become a time-honored tradition, the expansion immediately makes all of your gear irrelevant by introducing Master Rank: a higher tier of hunts full of more difficult versions of the base game’s monsters, as well as an assortment of new and returning monsters to take on. That’s not a complaint, though, as it is legitimately fun to have the bar reset so drastically, with plenty of powerful armor pieces and weapon upgrades to gleefully chase all over again. And while it’s by no means a new trick in Monster Hunter’s bag,

A new adventure in a distant land.

one of Master Rank’s greatest strengths has always been that it gives monsters altered behaviors and fresh moves to make them a renewed challenge without just raising their stats. Both the brand new monsters and the ones returning from previous Monster Hunter games continue Rise’s trend of being as stellar to look at as they are to fight. A new trio referred to as the “Three Lords” are all particularly great: Garangolm’s rocky ape-like appearance disguises its explosive mobility and surprising elemental effects; Lunagaron puts a fun twist on a traditional werewolf theme; and Malzeno’s vampire-inspired moveset genuinely shocked me the first time I saw it blink around the battlefield. Older returning foes like Astalos and Gore Magala fit right in as well, looking better than ever while providing an excitingly fresh challenge for anyone who hasn’t had a chance to face them before. As for where you’ll do that, Sunbreak adds two new locales: the Jungle, a tropical island originally introduced in Monster Hunter 2 that has been masterfully reimagined thanks to Rise’s seamless 3D maps, and the Citadel, a delightfully eclectic space that can stretch a single hunt from poisoned swamps to snowy peaks to a huge ruined castle. While I liked the Citadel more thematically, the Jungle’s condensed layout makes it Rise’s most convenient map to hunt on yet.

It feels as if it learned the valuable lesson that collecting Spiribirds for a stat boost at the start of each quest shouldn’t be such a hassle, giving you a huge patch of them just a Wirebug-ride away from your starting tent. But both locales are quite entertaining to explore in their own ways, packed with even more little secrets waiting to be found. Speaking of fixing some of the mistakes of Rise, Rampages have been given the boot to an almost comical degree. The Rampage weapon tree is practically the only one that doesn’t get extended with new upgrade options, Rampage quests don’t seem to have been updated in any way, and new weapons scrap the Rampage Skill system entirely in favor of a decoration slot only fillable with special Rampage decorations (which have no connection beyond the name). It’s a stunning reversal, though not an entirely surprising one given how dull the repetitive nature of Rampage quests eventually became. While I’m not shedding any tears over the abandonment of Rampages, it also stands out that nothing has been introduced to take their place. I was glad Capcom decided to experiment with a new quest type like that, even if its appeal ultimately didn’t last, and the fact that a central feature of Rise has been gutted rather than improved in Sunbreak leaves this expansion feeling far thinner.

That’s especially true compared to Iceborne, which introduced clever new ideas of its own to World, most notably the Guiding Lands as an interesting take on its endgame. In contrast, later on Sunbreak just ramps up monster difficulty with a small but amusing twist I can’t spoil – and while that’s certainly kept me happily playing, it doesn’t inspire the same sort of newfound excitement. To be clear, there is plenty to do in Sunbreak. After 45+ hours I still have gear I want to chase and optional tasks to complete, but there just aren’t that many fresh ideas to help it stand out as a whole lot more than a bunch of cool new monsters to fight. To that end, nearly every mainline quest sticks to the standard hunt format, with nothing like World’s colossal Zorah Magdaros fights, Iceborne’s Seliana defense against Velkhana, or even Rise’s admittedly one-note Rampages to at least try and shake things up. Again, every single quest I went on was still a ton of fun, but Sunbreak can start feeling pretty familiar by the end. The one place it does do something truly interesting is in its Follower quests. As you progress up Master Rank, townsfolk in both Elgado and Kamura will ask to accompany you on specific single-player quests as AI-controlled hunters. Doing their quests will unlock those people as options in Support Survey quests (also limited to single-player) where you can pick two as your party members.Guns Gore and Cannoli 2
