About the Game
Sora's world is shattered when a violent storm hits his home, and he is separated from his two closest friends. The storm scatters the three to unknown worlds. At the same time, there is turmoil in the Disney Castle. King Mickey is missing, and Court Wizard Donald and Captain Goofy are out to find him.
Gameplay & Core Systems
In Kingdom Hearts , players step into the very large shoes of Sora, wielder of the keyblade. Sora can attack with the blade, and as he levels up he will gain more attacks that are automatically chained together. Their equipment and AI can be adjusted, but they can not be directly controlled. Sora can take these to the Synthesis shop in Twilight Town to turn them into usable items, accessories, and weapons. Traveling between each world requires Sora's party to fly through space in a Gummi Ship.
Standout Features
- Sora can learn magic and put healing items into a quick menu, and both can only be used in real time.
- Gummi Ships: The Gummi Ship can be completely customized, from speed and armor to weapons and shape, out of parts picked up from destroyed Gummi Ships, found in worlds, or bought from a store.
- Larger, more complex ships can be built as the game progresses, and plans can be found from destroyed enemies or from an NPC that will automatically build a Gummi Ship of given specifications.
Presentation & Atmosphere
Upon discovering the link between the Heartless, the storm, and the disappearance of King Mickey, Sora, Donald, and Goofy join forces and help familiar Disney heroes to save their worlds from the Heartless. Donald and Goofy (as well as an additional character exclusive to each world/disney movie) will follow Sora.
