An enjoyable but very flawed experience – KINGDOM HEARTS Uχ Dark Road Review

This is a game I was excited for when it first came out, and at the time I was happy with it. But now, despite all the added content, the game is very flawed. The core gameplay is fun, if you’ve ever played kingdom hearts chain of memories, it’s like a revamped version of that. You are given a small handful of medals, each themed after a different Disney character or kingdom hearts character. Each one can be used to attack, or you can spend your special gauge to use the medals special attack. The combat is fun but very easy. The game has hundreds of quests and loads of content. The current level cap is 500 and you can power level to 300 no problem, but once you get to that the amount of lux (exp) needed to level up gets absolutely insane. This is a free game so of course it has micro transactions! The micro transactions are wildly overpriced and don’t give you enough medals to be worth it. However the game supplies you with several ways to get medals for free. As for story, for the first 100 quests there is none, just bland quests to different Disney worlds. As the game progresses the story does get very interesting and ties into the main plot of the KH series very well. The power your able to reach early on makes each quest very easy and makes getting to the games good parts bland and boring, leveling is extremely slow past 300, and the story is interesting isn’t revealed until around quest 100, the constant grind for more medals is tedious. Yet despite all these flaws this game is extremely addicting and fun despite its flaws. I recommend this to anyone looking for a fun base game and a interesting story if you can power through the beginning. 3/5
