In the world of these giants’ minds, the players are ‘mistakes,’ somehow. From what I gather, the name ‘Glitch’ is a reference to the weird and accidental ways independent life or culture forms in an ecosystem. Plot-wise, you play a tiny person who lives in a universe that is currently being ‘imagined’ by eleven sleeping godlike giants. It’s not quite released yet, but when it is I’m sure that it will do well– it’s a heap of fun, no matter what I have to say about it. Glitch is a sidescrolling cooperative crafting MMO with a freemium payment model, played in Flash in a web browser. The conventional and the radical often mix well in Glitch, but occasionally they don’t, and I can’t help but notice. There’s also a lot about Glitch that’s astonishingly tired and conventional. There’s a lot about Glitch that’s incredibly new and refreshing– stuff that will influence the way some more-traditional MMOs are made, I hope. Wild Hearts whirs its little wooden helicopter onto Steam, Origin and the Epic Games Store on February 17th 2023, and should cost $70 (UK pricing TBC).According to Glitch’s website, I haven’t seen something like this before:Īfter playing the game pretty intensely for about three weeks, I don’t know what to think of that statement. From what both companies have said, it very much sounds like this is a deal to publish Wild Hearts outside of Japan, which doesn’t seem in keeping with what EA Originals were set up for. ![]() They’re known for the similarly fantasy, monster-hunting Toukiden games, as well as their Musou series Dynasty Warriors. The game’s an EA Original, which is a title previously reserved for indie games from smaller studios than its creators Omega Force. There’s even a snazzy victory finisher when Kingtusk’s finally taken down.ĮA and Koei Tecmo announced they were working together on a new monster-hunting game at the start of last month, revealed as Wild Hearts last week. It seems like some Karakuri set off discrete animations when they’re activated too, which are a nice touch. Your character can do some handy Souls-esque rolling to dive underneath Kemono for attacks on their underbellies as well as all the death-from-above shenanigans afforded by Karakuri platforms. I’m digging his fiery gnashers when he’s enraged, and gnarled root-like tail. Speaking of Kemono, Kingtusk has a cool design. The scale of the pig is genuinely massive, so having the ability to jump up high and use Karakuri platforms to boost your character above Kemono is useful. That reverse zipline thing would be amazing for getting to the shops quickly on a weekend too. Wild Hearts seems to have a pleasant amount of verticality to it, and I should note that the personal helicopter can be used to get around its world as well as during combat. All that stuff’s in play in the trailer above, where players take on the Kemono boar Kingtusk. It’s probably worth calling on some chums to help out too, which is where the co-op comes in. ![]() You’ll need to use Wild Hearts’ wooden Karakuri technology to help you finish the job. They aren’t going to finish these beasties, called Kemono, off by themselves though. ![]() Wild Hearts is all about thwacking colossal critters upside the head with large swords. Monster-hunting fest Wild Hearts is out in February. Take a look at the footage below, and try not to giggle when the sproingy hammer whacks the giant piggy. It also reveals some co-op hunting action for the first time. Upcoming monster-hunting but not Monster Hunter game Wild Hearts has debuted seven minutes of gameplay, which gives us a proper look at how the game’s wooden tech can help take down its hulking prey.
