Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin - Nintendo Switch

Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin

Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin is a charming and deep turn-based RPG developed and published by Capcom for Nintendo Switch, set in the beloved Monster Hunter universe. Play as the grandson of the legendary Rider Red, forming bonds with monsters called Monsties and battling alongside them in strategic turn-based combat. When a mysterious young Wyverian girl named Ena entrusts you with a Rathalos egg prophesied to bring ruin to the world, you set out on an epic journey to uncover the truth behind the Wings of Ruin and forge an unbreakable bond with your Monsties.

Bond with Monsties — Collect & Ride

The heart of Monster Hunter Stories 2 is the Monstie system — discover monster dens hidden throughout the world, steal eggs, and hatch them to raise your own Monsties. Over 80 monsters from the Monster Hunter universe can become your companions — including Rathalos, Tigrex, Nargacuga, Zinogre, and many more. Each Monstie has its own unique abilities, attack types, and genes that can be combined through the Rite of Channeling system to create the ultimate customized companions.

Deep Turn-Based Combat

Monster Hunter Stories 2 features a rich turn-based battle system built around a Head-to-Head rock-paper-scissors mechanic — Power beats Speed, Speed beats Technical, and Technical beats Power. Reading your opponent's attack type and countering with the correct response is the key to victory, while Kinship attacks unleash devastating combined moves with your Monstie when your bond is strong enough. The strategic depth rewards careful planning and deep knowledge of your Monsties' abilities.

A Rich Story & Expansive World

Wings of Ruin features a fully voiced, cinematic story spanning dozens of hours across a beautifully realized Monster Hunter world. Explore lush forests, volcanic regions, snowy mountains, and ancient ruins as you uncover the mystery of the Rathalos egg and the prophecy of ruin. The world is filled with side quests, rare monster dens, and hidden secrets that reward thorough exploration.

Online Co-op Multiplayer

Monster Hunter Stories 2 supports online co-op multiplayer — team up with a friend to tackle special co-op quests and battles together, combining your Monstie rosters for powerful team strategies.
