This game is currently in the Humble Choice for April 2022, this is part of my coverage of the bundle. If you are interested in the game and it's before May 3rd, 2022, consider picking up the game as part of the current monthly bundle.
An Indie Pikmin
The Wild At Heart starts with a kid named Wake running away from home. He takes a few supplies he has stashed around the house and a special vacuum cleaner and from there embarks on a journey into the woods. He gets lost and meets a strange Pikmin. Oh, wait I’m sorry, they are called Spritelings. But come on, we know where they’re going with this.
The thing is while it takes a lot of influence from Pikmin, it’s also a more narrative-driven game, with a focus on puzzles rather than time management. The story here is interesting with unique characters, and the gameplay is solid so far, but it’s the characters that have me interested in returning to see more.
Pick this up if you like Pikmin and want to see indie studios take on this. The nice thing is this is in the Humble Game Collection and technically on Game Pass, so if you want to check it out you can pick it up at any time. I am looking forward to playing more of this title and seeing what else it will do with the premise.
