![]() This is where things might get a bit more confusing as new characters and timelines are introduced, but it’s important not to skip this one as it seems like it’ll play a vital role in Kingdom Hearts 4 when it does eventually release. Heavily linked to the mobile game Kingdom Hearts X, Back Cover is another cinematic film set during the events of X, but told through the Foretellers' perspectives (which are introduced in the mobile game) instead of the player’s. Unlike last time where you played as all three keyblade wielders, this time you only play as Aqua as she explores a and revisits fragmented versions of some of the worlds she visited in the original game. Game: Kingdom Hearts 0.2: Birth by Sleep - A Fragmentary PassageĪcting as a mini-sequel to the other Birth by Sleep, A Fragmentary Passage reveals what happened to Aqua, Terra, and Ventus between the events of Birth by Sleep and Kingdom Hearts 3. Originally released on Nintendo 3DS, this remake stayed true to the original (with the addition of some technical upgrades), and gives us more story which helps inform Kingdom Hearts 3. Technically taking place after the events of Re:Coded, Dream Drop Distance has players taking on the role of both Sora and Riku as they explore dream worlds in order to pass their Mark of Mastery exam. Game: Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance HD Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue collection Set 10 years prior to Kingdom Hearts 1, it would make sense to play Birth by Sleep early on but it’s more important to set the foundation of the series before playing its prequel. Things pick up again in Birth by Sleep as we are introduced to three brand new and playable characters - Aqua, Ventus, and Terra - who all play a bigger role in the series down the line. ![]() It’s probably the weakest of the 13 games all told, but if you’ve got this far, you might as well give it a go. The plot of this game doesn’t really bring much else to the table as Sora just revisits data versions of his memories to decipher a small clue found in Jiminy’s journal (stay with me on this). Just like 358/2 Days, Re:Coded can only be experienced in movie form - that is unless you can get your hands on the Nintendo DS copy. Don’t let that put you off, though, as 358/2 Days not only answers several burning questions but also contains more important characters and some of the best storylines in the whole series. The 1.5 version of 358/2 Days is actually a close-to-three-hour movie that recalls the events in the original Nintendo DS game. Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days fleshes out Roxas’ backstory and fills in what happened between Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories and Kingdom Hearts 2. Plus, Kingdom Hearts 2 is also a big fan favourite, so that alone makes it worth playing. You only get to play as Roxas for the first few hours of the game but he’s actually an incredibly important character in the grand scheme of things. Set a year after the events of Chain of Memories, in Kingdom Hearts 2 we are introduced to new playable character Roxas, who has a strange connection to Sora. ![]() The story of Kingdom Hearts: Re: Chain of Memories follows on directly from the ending of the first Kingdom Hearts game and will set you up well for Kingdom Hearts 2. Originally released on the GameBoy Advance, Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories was upgraded from a 2D pixel game to a more fleshed out 3D game (in the form of Re: Chain of Memories) but both versions contain the same story and gameplay style. ![]() Game: Kingdom Hearts: Re: Chain of Memories The reason it’s best to start with the first Kingdom Hearts game is because it establishes the basic lore of the series who Sora is, what a keyblade is, why darkness is so bad, etc. Our journey begins with Sora, Donald, and Goofy who, after a chance encounter in Traverse Town, have decided to work together to find Sora’s friends Riku and Kairi, and King Mickey (yes, THE mouse) by exploring various Disney-themed worlds.
