Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings Of Ruin is the sequel to the Nintendo 3DS spin-off game. It’s Monster Hunter but as a turn-based JRPG where you collect monsters to be your monstie and fight together in battles.
Capcom has revealed that there are plans to update the game further post-launch, with five free updates until October.
