Hunter Blade, is it legit?

[DinoGeekProductions]

From what screen caps I can find online it looks like a cheap Monster Hunter knock off (read: carbon-copy). What I want to know, though, is it a legit game or a scam? I don't know how to tell with these RPGs, but it's not reported by any major gaming site. . . But the homepage looks real enough.

Perhaps someone with a keen eye could weigh in.

EDIT: Okay, evidently it's a Chinese knock off of Monster Hunter, and is being developed by an actual company. Capcom's feeling all grumbly about it, but of course little legal action can be taken. I'd like to say "shame on you, JoyChina," but evidently Chinese gamers are going nuts because Monster Hunter inspired a lot of interest over there and has never been released.

Full quest walkthru. Honestly, it doesn't look too bad. Also, check out the trailer at the main site to see a larger array of monsters.

Monster designs aren't bad. Reminds me of a Nintendo DS game which is also like Monster Hunter but with Ultra Monsters.

Looks like fun, but it's Japan only. So far as we know Hunter Blade will have an English server, and it's free. (I'm really hoping Capcom can't take legal action ).

While we're on the subject of MH lookalikes, similarities to MH may be superficial, but Dragon's Dogma looks like fun! . . . But I don't have a PS3 .

Meanwhile Capcom's Monster Hunter 4 will be released on the Nintendo 3DS, and will probably never hit U.S. shores. The trailer showcases platforming elements new to the series.

I just found some artwork from the main site of saddled monsters. I really hope that ends up into the finished game, and isn't just a concept that they explored then went nowhere with like the saddled Bulco concept art on the D-War DVD. Anyways, here they are. First one's awesome. Looks like Battle Cat from Masters of the Universe.

Man, this game is whacky. Not too long ago there was an event quest to hunt down a villain and reclaim Chris Cringle's Christmas Gifts, until April 11th bunny outfits are available for female avatars, and the game will soon be introducing a pet system. You take the pet into combat with you, you can load it up with unwanted items and send it to sell them. . . So pretty similar to Fate and other pet systems. Check it out:

You gotta love the Hello Kitty staff.
