The game progresses through 20 levels with the core gameplay mechanic evolving as you go.
At the end of a level you receive a ranking of Gold, Silver or Bronze. The game includes a hidden multiplier which increases every time you collect an item without dying. High scores revolve around trying to string together as high a multiplier, balancing risk and reward. The gameplay centres around surviving any obstacles the game presents whilst trying to earn as high a score as possible by collecting the hearts and other collectibles scattered throughout tracks. As you travel through each level you come across a series of hearts, a bit like note tracks in a Guitar Hero game, or even like the rings in some of the 3D Sonic games.
This streamlined setup ensures you can focus on the flow of gameplay without getting tripped up with complex controls. The game controls simply with the analogue stick controlling your movement and one button used for context sensitive actions. Thankfully the game itself looks, plays and sounds so beautifully that this didn’t matter one bit!Īt the start of the game you control your character as she rides along a floating highway in the stars on a skateboard. I love games, films and books where the meaning of things isn’t quite clear, but I found a lot of Sayonara Wild Hearts’ story went right over my head. A series of tarot cards fly through space and things get a bit confusing! A beautiful version of Clair De Lune fades in as a fairy flies into the room, transporting you to a twisting, undulating highway in the stars for a rollercoaster ride on a skateboard (really). The game opens with the protagonist, who seems to be a close relative of the female Wii Fit trainer, lounging in her flat. A voice over tells of three divine arcana which watch over the universe before the harmony is upset by some evil arcanum. It goes without saying, that this is something a bit different! What’s i n a h eartbreak? If that wasn’t enough of a departure from the norm, Sayonara Wild Hearts is a story about heartbreak played through the medium of a psychedelic auto-runner structured like a Guitar Hero game. This is a bit of a departure from your usual hero tales or shooty-bang stories found in most other games. Sayonara Wild Hearts is billed as a game about heartbreak.
