MH4

MH4, also known as Monster Hunter 4, is an action role-playing game developed and published by Capcom for the Nintendo 3DS. It was released in Japan in September 2013 and worldwide in October 2014. MH4 is the fourth main installment in the Monster Hunter series. The game introduced several new features and mechanics, including verticality and wall-jumping, allowing players to traverse the environment in new ways and engage monsters from above. It also featured a more robust narrative compared to previous titles, with a story that follows a customizable hunter and their companions as they journey across the land, encountering various monsters and unraveling a mysterious plague.

MH4's gameplay centers around the player hunting large monsters in various natural habitats. Players can choose from a variety of weapon types, each with its own unique moveset and playstyle. Success in hunts yields resources that can be used to craft new weapons and armor, allowing for progression and customization. The game features both single-player and multiplayer modes. The multiplayer component allows up to four players to team up online to tackle challenging hunts together, fostering cooperative gameplay and strategic coordination. MH4 received critical acclaim for its refined gameplay, expanded content, and engaging multiplayer experience, significantly contributing to the series' popularity. It was later followed by MH4G, an updated version with additional content.
