    Perhaps my biggest takeaway from Wild Hearts is that I didn’t once find myself lamenting for Monster Hunter. Wild Hearts was perhaps a risky endeavour, but it’s one that’s paid off with impressive results. While genre newcomers can treat the land of Azuma as a gateway to monster hunting, long-standing genre fans will find plenty here to keep them happy until the next Monster Hunter adventure arrives.

    Wild Hearts is packed with creative mechanics and delightful flourishes that make it a welcome and exciting addition to the monster hunting genre.

    Wild Hearts improves on all existing aspects of it's main competitor, Monster Hunter. The game adds a touch of originality with surprising and functional mechanics. Fun and challenging, the game is a visual spectacle that excites and also delivers unique rewards for the players.

    From the story and the karakuri to the kemono monsters themselves, Wild Hearts has some world-class mechanics and writing behind it. It falters in a few important places as well, especially regarding performance, but that doesn’t mean it’s not worth your time and money. If you love taking down fantastical beasts of every shape and size, this time in a world inspired by feudal Japan, there’s no substitute.

    While the premise remains the same throughout, the battles each offer unique enough enemies to ensure your tactics have to change per fight and progress is a must to move on. Well worth a look if you’re into lengthy epic boss battles.

    Wild Hearts have dismantled the beast, and retrofit its parts into something more accessible and highly addictive in its own right. Obnoxious exposition and an uninspired narrative can sometimes get in the way of its well crafted gameplay loop, but the thrill of the hunt is more than worth it.

    For every success, Wild Hearts makes several mistakes. There's a great concept behind all this, but the design problems, the poor balance and the technical errors make this title fall far short of what it was meant to be.

    사무라이들의 끝없는 계속된 전쟁으로 자연을 황폐화시키고,

    그 때문에 영역을 잃은 케모노(몬스터)와 사무라이 군대의 침략전쟁을 피해 피난민들이 변경으로 몰리면서

    그 인간과 케모노, 케모노와 케모노의 영역다툼에 자연이 황폐 하게된다는 세계관 배경, 스토리는 오늘 처음 알았네요.

    세계관 배경, 스토리도 굉장히 치밀하게 잘짜여져있네요 ㄷㄷ

    The monsters unfortunately are not very inspired, some make a good impact at the beginning but after you face them twice they already becomeThe monsters unfortunately are not very inspired, some make a good impact at the beginning but after you face them twice they already become boring, some have more than one similar attack between them and while you fight them they often tend to interpenetrate, they make you fight monsters huge in places that are not suitable for them in terms of size and therefore most of the time you end up penetrating inside the monster without understanding what is happening around you and then being hit by attacks that will surely take you because as mentioned before you do not see, last thing about the monsters, you don't have a huge variety. The weapons are interesting but very cumbersome on certain aspects, they are unsatisfactory on impact with the monster, some weapons are nothing more than copy paste of some already present in mh and with an attempt to change something of the moveset (such as the bow or the cannon), the graphic style is very generic and it doesn't really seem to be in the nextgen since this game is, technically it is unwatchable on PC because on certain occasions the framerate remains ok in other cases, especially in the middle of the hunt and this what is quite annoying for the experience that the game wants to give, an interesting thing is the karakuri or the constructions that if you are creative you could create some fun fighting style. In conclusion it is a game that I advise you to buy discounted if you feel like it because the modest sum of 80 euros is a big no especially for the quality of the product which is neither top nor bad but mediocre, my advice do it and give it a try Expand
