What is Wild Hearts?

Wild Hearts is an adventure RPG similar to the Monster Hunter games. This stunning RPG allows players to hunt down massive monsters in Azuma, a made-up fantasy world inspired by feudal Japan. In addition to hunting down gigantic beasts, players are also given control over karakuri, a powerful and ancient technology coursing through the veins of Azuma. Karakuri can be harnessed to coordinate attacks on prey, erect emergency structures, and even help you unlock mighty weapons and tools to help you take down the evil beasts that plague Azuma. No monsters are safe as long as you wield the karakuri!
