KINGDOM HEARTS 3D: DREAM DROP DISTANCE – (3DS)
The one and only Kingdom Hearts game to grace the 3D handheld that was Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance. The game bridges the gap between Kingdom Hearts 2 and the long-awaited Kingdom Hearts 3, and is a must-play for any fan of the franchise. Being on the 3DS, console owners might have pushed the game to the side thinking that it was just simply a spin-off and nothing more, when it’s in fact a very important title that pushes the story in the right direction.
Kingdom Hearts 3D contains your typical action RPG gameplay that KH fans know and love but the 3DS game pushes the envelope further and adds in flowmotion that lets you perform actions like bouncing off walls, swinging on poles, and grinding on rails. And not only do you switch off between Riku and Sora throughout the story, but there are some other friends to help out the duo in the form of Dream Eaters. You can create these spirits by experimenting with recipes and fusing items and spells together. They can help you on the battlefield and you can raise their stats by feeding them, petting them (which is adorable), and by playing mini-games with them.
Using the Dream Eaters to your advantage will ultimately make the Mark of Mastery exam that much easier. And who doesn’t like to pet the top of a critter’s head with a stylus and making hearts come out of them?
