Item Description

Sora and Riku have saved the worlds more than once, yet according to Master Yen Sid, neither has ever earned the title of Keyblade Master. Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance sends them into the Mark of Mastery exam, a journey through sleeping worlds trapped in dreams, and the test turns out to be far more dangerous than it looks. This is the chapter where Master Xehanort's long-laid plans come into focus, setting the stage directly for Kingdom Hearts III.

The defining mechanic is the Drop system. Sora and Riku explore parallel versions of each world, and a gauge counts down until you drop from one hero's story to the other's, even in the middle of a battle, which keeps the pace brisk and gives both characters their own path through the same places. Flowmotion is the other big idea: kick off walls, swing around poles and grind along rails to launch straight into attacks, giving combat a speed and verticality earlier games never had. The deck-based Command system returns from Birth by Sleep, and Reality Shift adds world-specific touch-screen moves for flinging enemies and objects around.

Instead of Donald and Goofy, your partners are Dream Eaters, Spirit creatures you create, raise and customize, each with its own Ability Link board for unlocking skills and stat boosts. Petting them and feeding them treats adds a light creature-raising layer to the action. The world lineup is one of the series' most unusual: La Cité des Cloches from The Hunchback of Notre Dame, the digital Grid of Tron: Legacy, Pinocchio's Prankster's Paradise, Fantasia's Symphony of Sorcery and Mickey's Country of the Musketeers. Traverse Town returns too, now home to Neku, Joshua and Shiki from The World Ends with You, a delightful crossover for Square Enix fans.

Square Enix used the 3DS's stereoscopic effect for depth rather than pop-out tricks, which suits the long falls and soaring dives through the dream worlds. Dream Drop Distance was later remastered in HD for PlayStation 4, but the 3DS original is where it began, and its story is required reading for the Dark Seeker saga: it ties together threads from Birth by Sleep, Kingdom Hearts II and coded and points straight at the final confrontation with Xehanort. Skip it, and Kingdom Hearts III's biggest moments lose much of their weight.

About the game

Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance is the seventh game in the Kingdom Hearts series. It was originally developed for the Nintendo 3DS hand-held system. It is a direct sequel to Kingdom Hearts II, Kingdom Hearts coded, and the epilogue of Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. Utilizing the 3DS's high-spec graphics processing, the game's graphics are near on-par with those of the PS2 titles, and make use of the system's 3D technology to add immersion when falling from high places and flying far distances. The 3D effect is used more for "going into the screen" rather than things popping out.
