One key feature of Wild Hearts is its Karakuri system, which is basically a way for players to build contraptions across the map for various purposes. From food buffs to companions called Tsukomos, it sometimes feels like they may be too similar, but there are a few things that Wild Hearts does to separate itself from the pack, resulting in a more accessible and beginner-friendly outing. Wild Hearts wears its inspiration on its sleeve, and Monster Hunter veterans will surely find many similarities between both titles. This simple yet highly addictive loop is a tried-and-tested formula, thanks in large part to its satisfying and challenging combat.
To excessively simplify things, Wild Hearts is a game about hunting larger-than-life monsters, picking up the spoils of the hunt, and using them to craft many weapon and armor pieces that will allow players to hunt the next monster in line. Does Wild Hearts do enough to stand outside the looming shadow of Capcom’s beast? Or will it fall prey to the behemoth like others have before it? Sadly, even when trying to avoid comparisons, it’s tough to talk about one without bringing up the other. With the introduction of the Karakuri mechanic, a Fortnite-esque system that allows players to build contraptions that will assist them in and out of battles, the game looked poised for a good outing, further reinforced by our final preview just a few days ago. We first got to play the game back in October last year, and we thought that the game had what it took to carve out a player base of its own. Now, with backing from EA Originals, the time is ripe for a potential competitor to Capcom’s unrivaled Monster Hunter series. This isn’t KT’s first dance with the genre, releasing the Toukiden series to moderate success a number of years ago. Wild Hearts is an upcoming action RPG that is EA and Koei Tecmo’s entry in the hugely popular monster hunter pie.
