WILD HEARTS™

The old saying goes that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but what they never tell you is just how difficult imitation is. With Wild Hearts, developer Omega Force has not only succeeded at the absurdly challenging task of imitating the Monster Hunter games, but it has actually managed to carve out a compelling identity of its own. At Wild Hearts’s outset, after creating my character, I was thrust into a land known as Azuma. Specifically, I was wondering through the dense forests, dark caves, and shallow rivers of Harugasumi Way, one of the game’s four main regions. It wasn’t long into my exploration before I was confronted by a beast—a giant rat, to be exact, but not a normal rat. This creature is known as the Ragetail, and it had what appeared to be a massive flower sprouting out of its eye and some sort of fruit growing out of its tail.

I was a bit skeptical about this game… something about it was throwing me off… I wasn’t sure if it was the fornite looking boxes or what…after countless of video reviews that I saw And the fact that my bf had as well told me “look at reviews up, you won’t be disappointed” - to my surprised HE got it for us. I do want to say both of us are a Monster Hunter fan and we had also played Monster Hunter Rise which sadly was a disappointment for us 😬 we had prefer more the first one. Anyways that being said, it IS worth it, it’s a lot more easier to understand and manage. It’s very refreshing and exciting, the monsters look beautiful yet intimidating, since they are a mix of flora and fauna it’s very unique. I’m looking forward to playing more of it and see where the franchise goes with this. 🙌🏼

Wild Hearts may look like a Monster Hunter-clone at surface level, but it’s much more than that, with various twists and additions to the formula by way of incorporating elements from other games like Fortnite, Ark: Survival, and even Death Stranding. 🟩Pros +A well-realized tactical combat system +Base builder elements that blends well with the Monster Hunter gameplay +A fully integrated multiplayer experience
