Monster Hunter NEO

Monster Hunter NEO is the second in a series of fangames for Monster Hunter created by T1GREXHUNTER. Unlike normal Monster Hunter, this game is set in the future, meaning real guns, and new technology advances. It has no ranking system, but is far more story driven. It has an entirely different campaigns offline and online.

In order to test a new type of 3D printer called the Digital Material and Behavioral Creationist (D.M.B.C.), a programmer and modeller work together to create a model, animation set, and behavioral code for the first creature, codenamed Neo Animus. Once he is 'printed', he begins the behavioral code he was given. He is then locked in a disc and stored in a drawer. A few years later, a former marine is called in to witness this invention. The programmer inserts the disc containing Neo Animus into the computer system, and prints him again. This time, he looks different. He has an oddly shaped ridge on his back, and instead of the normal webbing it was given, it has binary code running from it's wings. He turns towards the humans and roars. Your character's first fight begins.

Almost everyone in your city (San Francisco) leaves, leaving you and one other survivor to fight off Neo monsters from other affected cities. Once you finish 3 Star quests, Neo Animus will appear in San Francisco for your urgent quest. Once you defeat him, he will fly into space and wait for the hunter.

You fight until you reach Russia, where you must hold a military base for one hour as your first quest. If you fail, you must go back to your last savepoint. You take on a few quests here, then return to Seattle to fight Neo-Iblis as a penultimate boss. After you defeat him, you are open to either fight Neo Animus immediately, or take on the next two ranks to grind and practice. Once you beat Neo Animus, the game ends and must be replayed from the start.

Online
Before you do anything, you get to create a custom online character.

You begin by breaking into the D.M.B.C. Testing Facility with some fellow hunters to stop Neo Animus from being re-printed, since you know the power of the D.M.B.C. Even the creators can't predict the same things that you can about the machine. You arrive just as Neo Animus is re-printed and you must fight it until it break out of the lab. You must then make your escape.

You are then seen under a canopy made of cowhide in Austin. You can accept quests from the Map on your table. Once your party has completed 3 Star quests, you can fight Neo Animus again, but he utilizes forms for each element. He retains his Kill Code weakness in all forms.

You will then fly an abandoned cargo jet to Russia. En route, you are attacked by a Neorai and Neolos. You must fend them off on the back of the plane. You then crash into a forest in China, where you must gather electronic materials from Neo monsters to repair the plane so you can get to a Russian military base. Once you finish, you can take off and land in the base undisturbed.

Your party must hold a fort when a stowaway Neovaldo climbs out of the plane. If a fort wall falls, you must hold it off from destroying the generator. Once you defeat it, you must complete all five star quests. As soon as you do this, you must challenge Neo Animus and fight him on his turf.
