The value story
The lowest price on record is $4.89, set in January 2026. 30 discounts in the 4 years on record. They run about 80 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 3 days ago.
It is pricier than 99 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 99 percent. On the same math Nobody Saves the World ($24.99, scores 71) and Wayfinder ($2.99, scores 7) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.
28 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written May 2025 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,814 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 222 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 2 of the 28 refunded reviewers were past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 14 percent of the 2,161 reviews written there were positive, against 47 percent overall, and those are 20 percent of everything written about it.
The main story runs 39.4 hours. Doing everything runs 121, 3.1 times as long.

What players say
This game is really fun, but it has bad stuttering and hitches with no hope of ever being patched.
imo this game is the most wasted potential i have ever seen. $70 flop aside, I think the game is actually fun and scratches the monster hunter itch with a breath of fresh air in the building mechanic. too bad it's an unoptimized mess with no more updates. buy on sale at like $30 max
One of my favorite Monster Hunter type games. Big fan of the weapons and karakuri stuff. Truly hoping for a second Wild Hearts to be made. If Wild Hearts had more creatures/content and better optimization, I might put the game above Monster Hunter itself. It's just that fun
