Cross Hunter - Monster Hunter Version (Japan) (GBC)

Cross Hunter - Monster Hunter Version is an action RPG for the Game Boy Color system, putting players in the role of a monster hunter. The main objective of the game is to hunt various types of monsters, gather materials from them and the surrounding environment to craft more powerful equipment.

The gameplay of Cross Hunter - Monster Hunter Version focuses on the loop of hunting, gathering, and crafting. Players will accept quests from the central town, then embark on expeditions to explore different areas such as forests, deserts, or caves. Each area harbors unique monster types and resources.

The combat system is real-time action, where players must use various weapons like swords, hammers, and bows to attack monsters. It's crucial to learn the behavior and weaknesses of each monster type to defeat them effectively. Players can dodge, block, and use support items during battles.

After hunting monsters or gathering materials, players can return to town to craft new weapons, armor, and accessories. Upgrading equipment is a key factor in dealing with increasingly stronger monsters. The game also features exploration, allowing players to find secret areas and rare items. Although not an official part of Capcom's main Monster Hunter series, Cross Hunter - Monster Hunter Version still delivers a similar hunting experience with graphics and mechanics optimized for the GBC.
