Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance Review

 

It took ten years and a move to handhelds to get me to care about Kingdom Hearts again.

Just in case you've been living under a rock for the last decade, Kingdom Hearts was a weird Square spin-off series that combined original characters with Final Fantasy and Disney. While there were some flaws, like a finicky camera and stale combat, Kingdom Hearts ended up being a surprisingly great game that was a lot of fun to play.

Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance separates itself from other handheld entries in the series by not being a prequel or interquel--it's actually the set-up game for the upcoming, still-not-actually-announced Kingdom Hearts III. This allows the game to go off on its own instead of making sure players are on the up-and-up with KH's hilariously convoluted story, showing Sora and Riku protecting parallel worlds while completing their Mark of Mastery exam, in the hopes of becoming full-fledged Keyblade Masters.

I'm wondering just what a "Keyblade Master" can do, since Dream Drop Distance has some of the fastest and most dynamic combat the series has yet seen. While Sora and Riku only have a few animations each (it's unfair to expect this game to be Bayonetta or Arkham City), each of the characters is agile enough to evade most attacks and control easily in combat. The new Flowmotion combat system lets you use scenery fixtures like lampposts and stairway rails for flashy, hard-hitting attacks to quickly clear crowds of enemies.

KH3D is basically this generation's equivalent to Chain of Memories--whenever Kingdom Hearts III does come out, you can simply jump right into it and play, but certain characters and situations will seem alien to you if you're not caught up. Unlike Chain of Memories, though, this is a straight action-RPG like the rest of the series, with some pet raising and training elements in the form of Dream Eaters.
