Product Description

The twin dragons are born, and their destinies intersect.

·story
Azral and Burion are two countries on the path to destruction.
In the midst of this crisis, a Rathalos, a creature thought to be extinct, is born from an excavated egg.
The birth of the Rathalos plunges people from hope into despair. The twin Rathalos that were born were the same blue-scaled twin dragons that were considered a symbol of ill omen during the civil war 200 years ago.
With the environment devastated and monsters on the brink of extinction, an ominous shadow finally appears between the two countries, threatening to provoke war once again. Two countries, two Rathalos.
What truth will the rider, who has formed a bond with Rathalos, grasp amidst the torrent of fate?

- Game System
・Field actions have evolved!
In this game, you can experience a monster ride in the field, designed to be athletic and comfortable.
You can now change your Otomon without switching screens, making riding actions such as wall climbing and flying necessary for exploring the field more comfortable.
If you hit a monster on the field with a [Breath] or [Melee Attack] ride action, you can start the battle at an advantage.

・Battles with more options for winning
The turn-based command battle system, based on the rock-paper-scissors system of [power], [speed], and [technique], has evolved even further.
While retaining the "satisfaction of winning rock-paper-scissors" that was well-received in the previous version, the game now offers more options for winning, allowing for more strategic play.

・Three attack types
There are three types of attacks: [Power], [Speed], and [Technique], and each has a rock-paper-scissors-like relationship with the other three.
Power: Beats technique
Speed: Beats power
Technique: Speed wins

・Head-to-head battle and double action
When your and your opponent's monsters' targets overlap, a "Head-to-Head Battle" will occur. If you can attack with an advantageous type in a head-to-head battle,
It deals great damage to the opponent and increases the bond gauge greatly. Furthermore, if you target the same opponent as your Otomon and win a head-on battle, a [Double Action] will occur,
In addition to increasing damage and the bond gauge, it is also possible to block opponents' attacks.

・Part destruction
Monster parts have durability values, and when a part's durability value reaches 0, it can be destroyed.
If you successfully destroy a part, you will receive various bonuses, such as dropping materials or preventing certain actions.

・Dragon Energy Gauge
The [Dragon Spirit Gauge] represents the monster's energy, and when it reaches 0, the monster can be [Break].
A broken monster's [Dragon Energy Stock] is reduced and it becomes [Fatigued], making it easier for it to avoid attacks.
Furthermore, if you deplete the dragon energy stock, you can [Down] the monster.

・Synchro Rush
By knocking down a monster, you can activate [Synchro Rush].
When activated, it will deal great damage to the opponent and greatly increase the bond gauge, giving you the opportunity to follow up with powerful moves such as bond techniques.
