What does the trade press say about the game? On Metacritic, Wild Hearts stands at 78% in the PC version – the user score is even significantly higher at 86%:

  • It has been described by the trade press as a “fantastic video game with flair and personality” (God is a geek).
  • GameRant speaks of a “wonderful new brand in the hunter genre that can stand comparison with Monster Hunter.”
  • GameStar gives 78% and judges: “Skillful Monster Hunter clone that convinces with fresh ideas, but weakens in terms of technology.” However, the tester issues a technology warning for the PC version. He criticizes a “clumsy console port” that refuses to scale with PC hardware.

  • Spqkii writes in a positive comment: “In Germany we say: brother, actually bad awesome game, but price higher than FPS in the game.”
