![]() ![]() A charging boar the size of a house, on the other hand, is no match for the impenetrable walls you can instantly build like you’re taking sniper fire in Fortnite. Or you can just construct a zipline launcher to take you to the top of a beached pirate ship, hopping off at the last second to plink a beast with a supercharged arrow from your bow. The mallet then extends to comical proportions as you swing - like something Tom use to try and flatten Jerry. You might build a fireworks launcher to knock a gorgeous and horrible rainbow-colored rooster out of the air, for instance, then assemble a tower of blocks to launch yourself 25 feet in the air for a downward strike of your hammer. The game never stands in the way of doing whatever you think might be the silliest, coolest possible way to smack a big cat in the face.

Later down the skill tree, however, there’s a giant monocycle to carry you across the game’s island environments, mini-tornadoes to send you flying on pinwheels, and harpoon guns to pin down your foes. Early on, you can only use wood-and-thread launchpads to throw yourself a few feet in the air, dishing out aerial damage as you crash back down on a kemono’s head. The obvious outlier being that bit about summoning walls and other contraptions - beating and burning down foes as well as allowing you to slingshot yourself around the world. The Monster Hunter comparisons come fast, frequent, and easily. Defeating these “kemono” then grants random crafting materials you can turn into new weapons and armor to take on even bigger and badder creatures. ![]() Set in a pseudo-magical world where natural disasters take on physical form as monsters, you hunt the beasts down with an absurd mix of weapons and LEGO-like technology called “karakuri” that shapes itself into boxes, springs, hammers, cannons, and a whole lot more. Wild Hearts is one of those games that wears its influences on its sleeve. ![]()
