Monster Hunter Like Games For PC for Windows 7/8.1/10/11

Dauntless takes the Monster Hunter experience and streamlines it by removing the legwork between fights. That means you can visit the game’s bustling social arena, Ramsgate, in one moment and then be hunting a Dauntless Behemoth in the next moment.

All the usual loot-based incentive is still intact, too, and there are plenty of Dauntless Exotic weapons and armor to go after. If you’re unsure about taking on a massive game like Monster Hunter, this is a handy alternative as it’s free-to-play. So you don’t have to worry about forking out for something you may not gel with.

The idea in Toukiden 2 is to slay giant demons known as Oni to protect humanity from destruction. In short: take Monster Hunter and swap out the wyverns and dinosaurs for the horrors of Japanese medieval folklore, and, hey presto, you have Toukiden.

There are so many similarities between Monster Hunter and Toukiden that, in distinguishing them, you may as well be trying to spot the difference between a Rathalos and a Rathian. Both involve hunting gigantic snotty beasts, bringing friends along for the slaughter, upgrading your weapons and gear using resources from fallen enemies, and originating on handheld consoles.

You could buy Toukiden: Kiwami, the enhanced version of the first game released on PC. But for a better experience, you will want to try Toukiden 2 as it was made with PC in mind from the start. It is also the only open-world game in the Toukiden series, making it the equivalent of Monster Hunter: World for its respective series.

Capcom’s other creature-slaying PC RPG is Dragon’s Dogma. This game starts with a dragon ripping your heart from your body. It just snatches it right out of your chest—what a git. Understandably, you are not particularly pleased about the situation and set out to find that damn dragon to retrieve your absent vital organ.

That is not as easy as it… it doesn’t sound easy at all. You will need to get a lot of practice before you – a bloodless dimwit, let’s not forget – can go toe-to-claw with a fire-breathing beast of legend. Weak as you are, you are the ‘chosen one’ and capable of taking on hydra, griffins, and chimera with a bit of time and experience behind you.

Dragon’s Dogma ticks a lot of boxes if you are looking for an experience similar to Monster Hunter that you can play on PC: an open world, considerable beasts to mount and stab in the face, a plethora of armor and gear upgrades, and a party of armed fools to lead around. Unfortunately, that party does not consist of other online players but AI-controlled ‘Pawns’ that learn how to fight from you (poor things). Once you have trained them, other players can borrow your Pawns for their games. It is not a replacement for online co-op, but even without that, Dragon’s Dogma comes close enough.

The weapons you use in God Eater 2 are one of its biggest draws. God’s Arcs are developed from the cells of the Aragami – the vast monsters you are sent out to defeat. This means you can collect materials from the dead bodies of your prominent opponents to upgrade your arsenal. God Eater lives up to its name by letting you devour the monstrous corpses you create. Nom nom.

While all the weapons in God Eater 2 seem to have been manufactured in the same factory as other anime games – they are giant, glowing yellow, and cause a lot of blood to gush – they are as varied as Monster Hunter’s roster of blades, blunts, and ballistics. There is plenty of room to specialize here – you can charge into battle with a scythe dragging at your heels, stand back and take pop shots with a sniper rifle, or move in cautiously with a short blade to pierce enemies in fast flurries. Not only are there a bunch of weapons to choose from that allow for different playstyles, but they each also have different forms you can transform them into – knowing when to deploy the correct form can give you the upper hand in battle.

Another aspect of Monster Hunter: World that God Eater 2 nails supply you with hundreds of missions to farm for items and materials to upgrade your equipment. Some will find it repetitive; others will relish watching the numbers tick upwards as they get incrementally better at dishing out gobfuls of ultraviolence.

Despite some questionable assessments, Monster Hunter: World has little in common with Dark Souls III. But hear us out.

With dragon slaying, plunging attacks, and plenty of blunts and blades to specialize in, Dark Souls III is a decent alternative to Monster Hunter: World. The series is notorious for its challenging boss battles, after all. You can even cut the tails off some mighty lizards and turn them into weapons, just like in Monster Hunter.

Where Dark Souls III differs, however, is in its more significant interest in worldbuilding, atmosphere, and storytelling. Rather than your progress being visualized as a carved-up hide worn as a piece of grotesque armor, Dark Souls III metes it out through the campfires you springboard from throughout each area. There is a greater focus on learning how to conquer regions, not to mention an underlying interest in tying together convoluted plot threads between characters, locations, and item descriptions.

That said, you get the same sense of achievement when you return to an area with an upgraded blade and slice through enemies with the ease of chewing on a piece of cooked meat. You will still want to hunt for items, farm them before big battles, and acquire materials to upgrade your gear. One beast even has the head of a crocodile and the agility of a dog – squint, and you might mistake it for Monster Hunter: World’s dreaded Odogaron.

Imagine Dark Souls but with a rigid, mission-based structure, a lot more repetition, and plenty of ugly bosses to cut the flesh off. That is Nioh. If we were pushed, we’d say it is a game that sits somewhere on the spectrum between Dark Souls and Monster Hunter: World.

Nioh’s approach to bosses is not as wild as it could be. Whereas the Dark Souls series does well to mix up the horrors it throws you into an arena with, Nioh mostly sticks to giving you humanoid bosses to dance with, the variation often being their size and types of attack (the less said about the centipede boss, the better). Still, these are boss fights that require plenty of preparation. You will need to hone both your samurai fighting style and your use of support items if you are to progress. Failing that, you can always bring in an online friend to outnumber your foe.

Where Nioh taps into that Monster Hunter vein is in how much it gives you to do at all times. It throws missions at you as if it were a hunter trying to put a raging beast to sleep with a volley of tranq bombs. It gives you an absurd number of stats, skills, weapons, armor, stances, and god knows what else to manage inside and outside of missions. If you are into making the tiniest tweaks to your loadout and prepping for battles as a proper hunter should, then you will be in heaven.

Bit of a curveball, this one, but Destiny 2 does have its fair share of similarities to Monster Hunter. Yes, the sci-fi setting is worlds apart, and the first-person shooter format entirely puts it in another category of the game. But Destiny 2 is a game with instance-based conflicts against some large-bodied aliens.

The MMORPG side of the game also runs parallel to the item management and stats upgrades of Monster Hunter: World. You will run through the same areas, popping off headshots and grabbing left, right, and center loot. Unfortunately, you cannot cut the skin and body parts of the fallen to repurpose as armor in Destiny 2 – a real shame, as we quite fancy sporting a metallic Vex outfit – but there is Glimmer to spend, Shards to install, and Destiny Exotics to infuse.

As you can see, Destiny 2 can compete with Monster Hunter: World when it comes to irregular nouns, too. For every Ajanath, Malachite Ore, and Gajalaka that Monster Hunter has to offer, Destiny 2 retorts with Hunter Arcstriders, Telestos, and Xur. This, indeed, is where the actual conflict lies.
