Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection is Capcom’s latest turn-based RPG adventure, bringing the beloved Stories formula back with a broader scope, refined combat, and a heavier, more dramatic storyline. You play as a Monster Rider—someone who forms deep bonds with monsters and fights alongside them, rather than hunting them.

The world is spiraling toward disaster as a mysterious crystalline plague known as Crystal Encroachment spreads across the land, warping environments and transforming creatures into dangerous new threats. At the same time, tensions between two rival kingdoms—Azuria and Vermeil—rise toward open conflict, fueled by fear, misinformation, and competing agendas. Caught between collapsing nature and political division, your journey begins with the discovery of a rare egg that hatches into something thought impossible: twin Rathalos, long believed to be extinct. Their existence becomes a key to the truth behind the corruption—and a symbol powerful enough to change the fate of both nations.

Gameplay centers on hatching and raising Monsties. You’ll track down eggs in monster dens, bring them to your stables, and grow a team through shared battles and exploration. As your bond strengthens, you build Kinship, unlocking decisive Kinship Attacks that can swing difficult fights in your favor.

Combat returns with an upgraded turn-based system built around predicting and countering enemy behavior through Power, Speed, and Technical attack types. Smart matchups, timing, and team synergy matter—especially as Encroachment-altered monsters and hostile forces push your party to its limits.

Outside of battle, explore a vast, interconnected world spanning Azuria and Vermeil: thriving settlements, hidden dens, and striking regions ranging from plains and forests to crystalline wastelands reshaped by the spreading plague. Along the way, you’ll uncover secrets, meet characters with personal stakes in the conflict, and make choices that ripple across alliances and ideologies.

Twisted Reflection delivers an emotionally driven campaign about legacy, trust, and survival—where your role as a Rider becomes a beacon of hope in a world that’s losing itself to crystal and war.
