Look, you know what you are getting into. this game knows its audience VERY well.

Anyway this game is basically Furry Third-Person Battlefield with Characters instead of Classes. No vehicles, but everyone has a four legged sprint to go faster.

I do not agree with its battlepass released in early access on day 1, The characterse are also constantly talking. You can hear both enemies and allies yelling things making it difficult to distinguish sound queues. Some of the characters seem a bit powerful, but thats to be expected in early access.

This is definitely a game that will make you say "I'm not a Furry, but....". The Characters are all very stereotypical, yet adorable. The Skunk uses Gas, the Bear is tanky, the Panda does kungfu and launches rockets, the Bunny is mobile, the Fox is thirsty.

Great game. Highly recommend to anyone who likes furrys or battlefield. Don't worry, we wont judge either way.

I played a bit of the playtests and the beta of Wild Assault, and I thought they were decent. Now that the game has launched into Early Access (And now paid), I've got some good things to say along with some bad.

- Fun gameplay
- Fun character designs that fit their abilities
- Good progression for each character, allowing different playstyles.
- Easy to unlock other characters

- Servers. I played on US East, as it's the only one in the US. The servers will say 50-75 ms of ping but I'm rubberbanding all over the place. It seems to have been fixed for the most part, but expect odd hit reg. Not 2042 bad, but pretty poor.

- Premium Battle Pass. I might get flak for this, but an early access game launching with a paid battle pass imo is scummy. I bought the special early access bundle and I don't even get it? The battle pass doesn't even give you the full amount back in the premium currency. The new items are in the battle pass as well, which is fine.

- Player Numbers. It's a little worrying seeing the game launch with 1k people on Steam. A multiplayer game needs people in order to thrive, unless there's some PvE content.

- Mobile Game-like Elements. There's daily tasks, daily logins, rookie rewards, etc. That's fine to me, I just hope it doesn't go down the path of something like Cod Mobile to where there's egregious gacha elements added.

Overall, Wild Assault is a fun anthro shooter that allows good customization with each character to change the playstyle. In my personal opinion, the game needs a form of PvE. Either a story-based mission or just against bots, since it's pretty obvious that bots are already in the servers. Games like Midnight Ghost Hunt are still worth playing imo because the gameplay loop and progression are still achievable with the game's ai. I really hope the game can fix these issues because the game is a load of fun.

tl;dr: Game is fun, but balance is a *complete* joke. There are fun moments to be had between being one tapped by all the wolf dents jiggling around behind trees and waiting to redeploy because 4 medics ran over your uncontested body while you listen to 15 layers of the same AWOOO.mp3 play, but there are more consistent fun moments to be had in games that don't cost $20CAD. Game should be free to play, especially in the state it's in now.

Longer Review:

This game could be worth the price, but it's not even close yet.
Progression, matches, and gameplay are all fine. Some animations are very stiff and janky, but they don't tend to actually break the flow. They just look kinda rough.

The main thing I'm gonna mention that is actually a fault of the devs that makes me want to not recommend this game is the balance. This is one of, if not the single most poorly balanced game I've ever played, and I've played Dead by Daylight for almost 3K hours. Shotguns are sniper rifles and do an obscene amount of damage from absurd ranges. The wolf sniper character has every single tool you could ever need, and none of it seems to be on a cooldown. His sniper rifle is also the only thing more effective at long range than shotguns. You will consistently get one tapped seemingly by complete accident and then he will nuke a quarter of the map while you're running around blind in his smokes and simultaneously being visible to his whole team, all thanks to just his kit multiplied by however many of them are on the enemy team.

The matchmaking is also pretty bad as others have mentioned, but name the last game that had good matchmaking so whatever. I'm only gonna mention this because even though it's not a fault of the design per se, I feel it's still worth mentioning for people thinking about buying the game.
It says there are medics in the game, but there aren't. I could count the amount of times I've been revived on one hand if I was a quadruple amputee.
