About Wild Hearts
Wild Hearts is a third-person action-adventure game set in a feudal Japan-inspired fantasy realm. Developed by Omega Force, the studio behind Dynasty Warriors, it partners with Electronic Arts to deliver a mix of exploration and creature-hunting. Released on February 16 2023 it runs on PS5 Xbox Series and PC. Players track and battle massive creatures with a bow grappling hook and melee weapons while crafting gear to upgrade their arsenal. The game blends solo play with co-op multiplayer where up to four players team up to take down beasts. It’s a fast-paced loop of hunting crafting and battling with a focus on open-world traversal.
Gameplay
You spend most sessions tracking creatures through forests and mountains using a bow to weaken them before closing in with a spear or sword. The grappling hook lets you scale terrain quickly and strike from high angles. Battles require timing dodges and using elemental arrows against weak points. Crafting uses materials dropped by enemies to forge better weapons and armor. Side quests involve solving puzzles and collecting resources. Multiplayer matches pit teams against a shared creature with roles like tank and sniper. Controls feel responsive but combat can get repetitive after hours. Exploration is brisk with fast travel and secrets hidden in every zone.
What Players Think
PlayPile users average 22 hours with 30.5% of 48 achievements unlocked. IGDB rates it 74.8/100 from 25 critic reviews. The rarest trophy "Tsukumo Whisperer" sits at 5.5% completion. Community moods skew determined and fun but some note grindy crafting. Reviews praise creature battles as "exhilarating" but criticize side content as "filler." Multiplayer co-op is highlighted for chaotic teamwork. Achievements like "Master Hunter" (22% unlock rate) reflect the grind for high-tier gear. Over 60% of players finish the main story but few hit 100% completion.
PlayPile's Take
Wild Hearts is a solid co-op action game for fans of monster hunts and fast traversal. While creature battles shine the side quests drag for some. At $59.99 it offers 20+ hours of core content but 100% completion demands 40+. With 48 achievements and a 5.5% rare trophy it rewards persistence. Skip if you dislike repetitive combat loops but play if you enjoy grappling through open worlds with friends. The crafting depth and creature designs make it worth the cost for co-op enthusiasts.
