Kingdom hearts characters are bland series#
Melody of Memory is both held back and lifted up by the sheer scale of the series it is trying to sum up. Immediately it starts throwing out phrases like “heartless”, “nobodies”, and “replicas” and gives almost no context as to what they mean within the universe. This is definitely a game for long-time fans of Kingdom Hearts, both because Melody of Memory is essentially a recap of almost twenty years’ worth of story and because it does very little to ease you into the convoluted mess of Kingdom Hearts. I found myself getting too easily distracted by the pretty visuals and remastered environments of Melody of Memory to focus on the music and actually play the game. There is a definite learning curve to the game and fans of the game’s music will have a much easier time clearing levels at higher difficulty than people like myself who lack the required rhythm to do well in games like this. Enemies approach Sora, Donald, and Goofy at a regular pace, representing the melody of the song you’re currently playing through. Inputs are generally limited to two or three buttons in normal mode, though increased difficulty will increase these inputs. You visit worlds that represent different films in the Disney catalogue which have a number of songs from to play through.
The gameplay is pretty straight-forward for a rhythm game.
All the tracks in this game are from the Kingdom Hearts series and Disney is notoriously guarded when it comes to their music (though you will get to play through my absolute favourite scene in the whole series). That’s not to say you won’t get to listen to some of the music Disney is rightly known for, but don’t expect a lot of musical numbers featuring Ariel or Cinderella. From the swelling trumpets of Olympus Colosseum to the brooding tones of Hollow Bastion, the music of Kingdom Hearts is front and centre throughout this game. Like we’ve said before, Melody of Memory is a clip episode cleverly disguised as a rhythm game as well as a celebration of the iconic and epic music that has come from the Kingdom Hearts series. Our Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory Review From the first moments building a raft on Destiny Island in Kingdom Hearts all the way through to the newest downloadable content for Kingdom Hearts III (actually the thirteenth game in the series because the naming convention here is as weird as the plot), this is a chance to revisit the most important moments of the series as narrated by Kaori, the occasional damsel in distress and keyblade master in training.
