Wild Hearts is Omega Force’s attempt at a monster-hunting title, and while it isn’t as polished as Capcom’s iconic Monster Hunter games, the potential is definitely there. You can check out our review of the game here. We gave the game a solid 8/10, with the game’s major drawbacks rooted in performance issues. Here’s an excerpt: “The game is, in a word, solid, save for its glaring performance woes. It may very well be the “start of a saga” that Koei Tecmo hopes it to be, though we’ll have to see how well they handle the game’s post-launch support. Until then, Wild Hearts stands as the best title we currently have as competition in the monster-hunting subgenre, and a pretty good one at that.”
