Lord of Arcana Expanded Slayer Edition

Lord of Arcana: The evolutionary Monster Hunter, direct clone, or a completely different game-

First off, if you are interested in this page, you are most likely to be either: A Square Enix (Final Fantasy) fans or a Monster Hunter fan.

This game took the core of Monster Hunter, and then revamped it into a completely different game. There are many new aspects of the game, as-well as removed contents which differentiate them from Monster Hunter.

The cons:

1. Much less detailed armor and weapon crafting. There are at most only half the amounts of gears compared to MH.
2. No outside-battle activity. No such thing such as pokke farm, hot spring, or feline chefs.
3. Less strategy in battles due to lack of traps, bombs, and environmental doodads.

The pros:

1. Very smooth and utilized fighting system. Simplified, less frustrating, many more strings of combos, the use of magic, and finally for the Final Fantasy fans: Summons. (PS: Yes, FF's aeon/mate­ria/GF cameos)
2. Extremely intense gears of wars/Shenmue cinematic battle which is even more megafun when done in co-op.
3. At least twice or three times faster than Monster Hunter. There are no silly potion-drinking poses, the gathering speed is much faster and the character movement is incredibly fast. Me, I like my game fast and brutal.

In a nutshell, if you like MH and thinks “This game is just a lousy clone.” or hates MH and thinks “This game is just a lousy clone.” Well don't. It's a brand new experience with the same basic feel.

Lord of Arcana is your ‘Marvel vs Capcom 3’ to Monster Hunter's ‘Street Fighter 4’. I'm not reluctant to give it 5/5.

This game is HARD, and I mean it.
Levels right from the beginning are a great challenge for an intense gamer! Graphics are awesome and really bring out the potential of the PSP handheld system. Although a bit more content needs to be made to give the game a little bit more oomph. But anyway great job square enix for a truly enthralling game. :D

This game is basically a more bloody version of Monster Hunter which means that it's AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!­!!

if you like Monster Hunter, Square Enix games and/or just games with alot of blood then this is the game for you (so what are you waiting for- play it!!!!)

If your into
Hunting /god of war/ monster hunter
Then you will love this game!
The price is great! for what you get
The game its self is just plan awesome
And if your into games where you have team mates helping you out when things get tough of your girl friend says we need to do more things together this is perfect for you

At first, it's quite hard but once you get the hang of it, it's an absolutely fantastic game!! I love how you can equip different types of weapons and how you can increase experience on each weapon and learn new skills and techniques on it.
