Game plot

The game takes place immediately after the proceedings of the original Kingdom Hearts. This game is not just only a sequel but a bridge to Kingdom Hearts 2. The game picks up with Sora, Donald, and Goofy as they chase Pluto down a long, curvy path, where they eventually confront a mysterious, black-robed figure. The stranger tells Sora that there is something that he urgently needs, but to claim it, he has to lose something important to him. To solve this mystery, Sora and her friends continue their journey and eventually see a strange castle known as the Castle of Oblivion, and it serves as the center for the rest of the game. The player encounters various friends, enemies, places, and a few surprises throughout the game.

Features

• Combat with card-battling aspect.
• Combat is a mixture of card-battling and action in the game. The cards rule any action the player takes in the current deck that appears at the bottom left of the screen. Players can see four cards in their hand at any one time. There are different cards for different attacks, like melee attacks, items, magic spells, and summoned characters. The enemies will also use cards to attack, and if the players have run out of cards, they can reshuffle and start again.
• Room synthesis
• This feature is a new addition to the game to go forward in the game; the player has to utilize Map cards gained after winning combats to synthesize rooms. The Map cards determine each room's properties, which includes the strength of enemies and quality of items. Each card has a precise effect:
• Red cards affect the type and number of enemies.
• Blue cards affect the room's properties.
• Green cards affect the power of the player's deck.
• Three modes of gameplay
• The first two modes are a story that features either Riku or Sora, and the third one is a 2- player battle mode. After only the completion of Sora's story, Reverse/Rebirth mode becomes available. Reverse/Rebirth enables the player to play the story mode featuring Riku and also the third link mode where players battle it out with each other.
