Some of Wild Hearts' weapons are sublime, and many of the monsters would rank higher than Capcom's pack on my personal tier list, but everything outside the heat of the fight could've used a little more love.
My parents didn't have a lot of money when I was growing up, but we were still a Cheerios household. Actually I preferred the sugar bomb of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, but the point is we could at least afford genuine Cheerios instead of"Nut O's" or"Tasteeos" or whatever the store brand was called. As a kid I cared about that name recognition, the same way I lusted after a pair of Nikes or a legit Jansport backpack.
The shapeshifting karakuri staff might as well be four weapons in one: every hit you land can be comboed into a form shift with its own set of attacks. The starter weapon, a katana,"awakens" when you fill up a hit meter, unfurling into a whip-like longsword that you can swirl around you in a flurry of cuts. Wild Hearts is still pretty anime, it turns out, at least when you're in the thick of the action.
Some of the kemono designs are clear standouts, but Wild Hearts recycles them disappointingly quickly—there are some clearly shared moves and archetypes as soon as you reach the second area, and later you get the standard elemental remixes of some monsters where you swap fire for ice. These are still tough, exciting fights, and my strategy going up against a kemono completely changed depending on what weapon I was using.
Wild Hearts' one big new idea for combat is letting you build traps and defenses mid-combat. You conjure karakuri out of thin air by holding down right-click and pressing one of a few keys—at first you're spawning simple crates to leap off or springs that'll catapult you towards a monster, but soon you'll unlock combinations that erect a defensive wall or shoot off fireworks to flashbang a flying monster out of the air.
