WILD HEARTS is a 2023 action-adventure hunting game developed by Koei Tecmo and published by Electronic Arts. Players face massive beast encounters across expansive fantasy environments, using an array of weapons that each play differently in combat. The core innovation is the Karakuri system, which lets hunters construct defensive structures, platforms, and traps mid-battle to gain tactical advantages against transforming monster threats. Gear progression and post-game content extend the experience significantly. The game supports online cooperative multiplayer for team hunts and currently costs $6.99 on Steam. Players describe the hunting atmosphere as immersive, though reviewers highlight that combat and the overall experience can feel challenging and stressful. Currently the game is not supported on Steam Deck. Based on approximately 4,030 Steam reviews, the game holds a 56% positive rating.

About WILD HEARTS™: Master ancient tech to hunt down giant beasts. WILD HEARTS™ is a twist on the hunting genre where technology gives you a fighting chance against giant nature-infused beasts. Hunt alone or with friends.
