Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8: Final Chapter Prologue

The plot of Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8: Final Chapter Prologue takes place after the ending scenes of Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep. The players follow Aqua – a popular hero in her journey through the world of darkness.

The story of Kingdom Hearts X Back Cover takes place long before the events of other installments of Kingdom Hearts, and throws a new light onto the whole series, and shows the beginning of the great conflict between Keyblade users.

Mechanics

Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance HD for PS4 uses an expanded gameplay model, introduced in Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep. We are still left with an RPG seen from a third person perspective. During their travels, the players acquire abilities that allow them to get to know the surrounding world better, and discover various secrets. The combat system was upgraded with the “Drop Gauge” that allows the combatants to use special attacks and enable interesting special effects. During the gameplay, the player can be joined by up to three companions, who are caught Dream Eaters. The party members can be trained, and endowed with new abilities through the usage of appropriate items.

Kingdom Hearts 0.2: Birth by Sleep-A Fragmentary Passage offers a gameplay model similar to the one found in Kingdom Hearts III. The players control only one character, and as an effect of the short playing time, they have limited possibilities of character development, the same situation applying to his abilities or equipment.

Technical Aspects

All components of Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8: Final Chapter Prologue had been prepared with PlayStation 4 possibilities in mind, offering a native 1080p resolution. Both Kingdom Hearts 0.2: Birth by Sleep-A Fragmentary Passage and Kingdom Hearts X Back Cover were build based on Unreal Engine 4, which was used to power Kingdom Hearts III.
