Our take on the Monster Hunter Stories Collection

Monster Hunter Stories Collection bundles two turn-based monster-collecting RPGs on Nintendo Switch: the original Monster Hunter Stories and its sequel, Wings of Ruin. Unlike the mainline hunting games, these are story-driven adventures where you raise and battle monsters in rock-paper-scissors style combat. It is a download-only release, so there is no cartridge. The collection holds a 5 out of 5 rating from 23 ratings, though no current store price was provided.

Questions and answers

Is the collection worth it if I already own Wings of Ruin?
Only if you want the original Monster Hunter Stories, which is the older and simpler of the two. Buying the bundle is usually cheaper than the first game alone at full price.
Do I need to play the first game before Wings of Ruin?
No. Wings of Ruin has its own cast and story, so you can start there. Playing the first game adds context but is not required.
Is this a download code or a cartridge?
It is a download edition. You get a digital copy tied to your Nintendo eShop account, not a physical cartridge.
How long are the two games?
The original runs roughly 20 to 30 hours and Wings of Ruin about 40 to 50 hours for the main story. Completionists can double those times.
Does it support multiplayer?
Wings of Ruin has online co-op quests and versus battles. The original game's multiplayer is limited, so check before planning to play with friends.
