So what's all this monster hunting about, anyhow?
Like any hero's journey, "Monster Hunter: Legends of the Guild" kicks off with a young, adventurous spirit, comfortable but possessed of dreams unbefitting of their station in life. Aiden, a villager with a penchant for hunting small things, finds himself and everything that he loves in the path of a terrifying Elder Dragon whose migration path has it on a collision course with the young buck's home.
Luckily, Aiden comes across Julius, an established member of the Hunter's Guild with the rad armor and swords to prove it. Alongside a crew of colorful characters, they'll have to find the weapons, defenses, and courage to slay this terrible beast. If bipedal anthropomorphized cat-people Felynes and a fair number of Kut-ku show up along the way, so much the better. Maybe there's even room for a message about the importance of preserving the balance between man and nature, too. If being more at one with the ecosystem means shooting a dragon to death for an hour, then so be it. "Monster Hunter" has always been pretty clear on that point.
