5/20/2023 0 Comments Kingdom hearts dark road chapter 2![]() ![]() ![]() Of course, like any social MMO, most of your time was spent doing repetitive tasks like daily hunts while you waited for new updates. The mobile game’s central gameplay loop involved navigating the worlds to follow the story, just like any other Kingdom Hearts games. The Heartless, while narratively confounding, are just delightful, and the teams’ artists were frequently called on to create dozens of new breeds, after so many years of copy-and-paste. ![]() It all makes these old locations feel fresh and new, even if the plots are starting to sag under the weight of so many return trips. The new 2D, vector backgrounds are gorgeous renderings of the original films, and the puppet-style characters used by the game are cute and articulate, if maybe a little mismatched with the backgrounds. The browser game saw the player adventuring across multiple Disney worlds, all return worlds from previous games. The mysteries continue to mount as the plot goes on, and the original browser game ended with the climactic, inter-factional Keyblade War mentioned in many of the previous games. That faction’s leader eggs the player to collect the light in the form of “Lux,” earned by battling the Heartless, who by all rights shouldn’t be in this time period, at least not in this form. Kingdom Hearts χ begins with the player, a Keyblade wielder, choosing one of five factions. Some fans have also noted a visual similarity to Smile-Lab’s Nicotto Town, another browser game, which crossed over with the original Kingdom Hearts χ during its lifetime. The game makes use of a vector character graphics style originally created in Kingdom Hearts Mobile, and later developed in Square’s Theaterhythm series. The Kingdom Hearts χ game was a Japanese exclusive, created for browsers using Flash and developed by SUCCESS corporation. While the original games made a twist out of this, Back Cover reveals right from the off that Chirithy are Spirit Dream Eaters. Not so bound to the Master of Masters, they begin to question his irrational orders, and find more than they bargained for.Įvery one of the Keyblade wielders involved in this fiasco, including the player, are accompanied by an identical cat named Chirithy. The new faction that takes over in the game’s second arc, led by Ephemer, Skuld, Brain, and two other characters better kept secret. His job is to abandon the others and simply watch from a distance, but to what purpose, even he can’t really say. The Master’s final apprentice, named after luxuria, Lust, but also the “Lux” that makes up an important part of the game’s setting. Between loyalty and humanity, they seemed doomed to fail, but each has their own path to damnation. Each has a role to play in the Master’s plan, some contradictory, as if designed to incite infighting. Ira, Invi, Aced, Gula, and Ava, each named for one of the Seven Deadly Sins. ![]() Far from the aged sage you’d expect, the master is energetic, erratic and quirky, and his instructions strangely insidious. CharactersĪ man who can see the future, the master has put his disciples in charge and then vanished. In other words, players were signing up to play on a sinking ship from the start! But the exact form of their inevitable demise would be just as complicated and weird as Kingdom Hearts fans had come to expect. In short, the narrative is about an oft-repeated story in Kingdom Hearts lore: the “age of fairy tales,” when everything was great until people began to fight over “the light,” leading to the utter destruction of the world, before being reborn into the form we know today. The umbrella label covers four separate iterations with fives eparate titles, most of them defunct. Kingdom Hearts χ was the series’ second social game, after whatever the heck Kingdom Hearts Mobile was supposed to be. ![]()
