The co-op is quite seamless and requires a simple press of a button or interaction with portals found throughout the world. Each player has their own version, and visiting players from the co-op or a hunting request can even enter the city if they desire. Between hunts, players will spend time in Minato, the hub city with traders and crafters. Wild Hearts is played in 3rd-person and features a combo-based attack system, where charging attacks or changing up how a combo plays out is important in staying alive and doing damage while dodging to avoid getting hit. I was constantly prompted to go do some side hunts or upgrade abilities before continuing with my main quest, almost feeling like these side quests were part of the storyline. This connection also meant the game felt whole, instead of separating from the main and side quests. With that being said, I never groaned about the story missions as they were enjoyable and featured some solid voice acting in many places. Many of the characters felt one note and didn’t really change over the course of my time with the game, and while I haven’t finished it yet I can almost sense the ending unless an epic plot twist is forthcoming.
While interesting, the story truly only felt like a guided tour for the main attraction, the monster hunting itself. Due to a distinct lack of powerful hunters to fight these beasts, the intervention of the player character is most welcomed by the remaining inhabitants of the city of Minato, their new home.Īs you continue through the game, fighting wilder Kemono and traveling to different regions, you will assist a multitude of characters with their troubles and help bring a land on the verge of vanishing to relevance again.
Each new beast is wildly unique and will test the abilities of even the most veteran of hunters. After encountering these dangerous Kemono, the hunter sets out to defeat them and protect the remaining humans by utilizing the ancient technology to give them an advantage. The player character is a wandering hunter who discovers an ancient technology called Karakuri.
The game is based in a fantasy world inspired by feudal Japan, Azuma, where fierce creatures fused with the powers of nature called Kemono have caused devastation and forced out most human inhabitants.
