    Wild Hearts is a solid entry in the “kill giant creatures and harvest their parts to craft new gear” genre, and with plans to add new Kemono to hunt and room for new areas to be added this is a game that you can sink your teeth into for a while to come.

    Wild Hearts has proved to be an immense surprise. It navigates the line between well-worn ground and exciting new innovation immensely well. It’s the best non-Capcom hunting game we’ve ever had, and a hugely enjoyable action RPG in its own right.

    It is safe to say, however, that Wild Hearts is a wonderful new IP in the hunting genre that not only stands on the shoulders of Monster Hunter but can also meet it eye-to-eye. It isn’t the most fleshed-out hunting game compared to its progenitor, but it proves that it doesn’t have to be. A razor-sharp focus on combat, player progression, and Kemono hunting is more than enough to make Wild Hearts an excellent palette cleanser for fans that need something new to sink their teeth into. Add in the game’s fun Karakuri crafting system, a flexible and versatile weapon upgrade system, and beast designs that inspire both awe and horror, and Wild Hearts can proudly stand tall as a new pillar in Omega Force’s diverse catalog of games.

    Wild Hearts is not flawless and you can see it was made on a budget, but it's a great starting point for a franchise. Most gameplay mechanics are good enough and some are even exceptional.

    While far from perfect, Wild Heart's still has the building blocks of a successful franchise. Its exciting take on monster hunting is a roaring success, especially for newcomers to the genre.

    Wild Hearts updates the hunting videogame catalog and proves that it is possible to create new franchises inspired by existing IPs. The only thing that separates success is the ability to create something with its own identity, and that's what Koei Tecmo did by delivering this new franchise to fans of the subgenre. Wild Hearts opts for a spiritualist theme that, properly contextualized, enriches the game world and gives a different purpose to the monsters, as well as to the playable character who has the trivial mission of saving the world. Despite the graphical and performance issues, it is always possible to contemplate the grandeur of everything, like weapons, creatures, buildings or even sights.

    Do not get Wild Hearts on PC right now. The game itself is great, and something you should pick up if you want to get into monster hunting, but the garbage performance me and many other players have experienced cannot be excused.

Sword fight combat action is very good. The story is also very good. The samurai army has invaded some army. It dealt with the war between the army and the wolves who retreated from such a powerful military invasion. The scale is very gigantic, just like Mononoke-hime. Expand

    游戏bug极多,优化很差。本手手感偏近于三国无双,武器种类不多,玩起来难度也不高。新的机巧机制是游戏的主要卖点和亮点,算是借鉴堡垒之夜的新共斗玩法?我不好说……反正就是一部试水的爽游,算是光荣在寻找新的制作方向吧……总体评价6到7分,能玩,但性价比一般。游戏bug极多,优化很差。本手手感偏近于三国无双,武器种类不多,玩起来难度也不高。新的机巧机制是游戏的主要卖点和亮点,算是借鉴堡垒之夜的新共斗玩法?我不好说……反正就是一部试水的爽游,算是光荣在寻找新的制作方向吧……总体评价6到7分,能玩,但性价比一般。

    ==========

    -30 - 45 hour long.

    -bad optimization, slow running, very repetitive monster hunter fights same 10 monsters over and over.

    -chapter 3 game will be grindy.

    -only good Karakuri mechanic.

    -buy monster hunter world or rise (easier than world) instead.

    Game is even unplayable.

    On top of that it requires a Bloatware app from EA.
