### 4/5 — Fun but needs more worlds

*2021-07-22, version 4.4.0*

I am a huge fan of Kingdom hearts I keep playing it every day I want to heard about this new update I thought it was gonna be really good I heard that the service ended and I wasn’t very happy short there were three worlds added Wreck-It Ralph heroes duty and sugar rush but I may suggest if I may can I suggest of a few more worlds one I’d like to suggest monsters Inc. and the second one I’d like to suggest is I don’t at the Caribbean and fort the third one I like Toy story in there but two I’d like the player to blend into one I don’t want the player to be by giving it to worlds that I want the player blend in our monsters Inc. and toy story the world that I don’t The player when is Pirates of the Caribbean so for the next update I suggest that you add the world and have the player blend into the world and have a player do not live in one

### 3/5 — Engaging Story but Lacking Support

*2021-05-03, version 4.3.1*

The story is engaging, and I found that when I played KH3 that I was missing some information even with the “The Story So Far” pack. I really only play story mode because that’s what I care about, but the information on how to play is minimal outside of basics of slashing. I had to Google basically anything about medals, and honestly I still don’t know what half of the stuff means. It’s way too complex with little information. My other biggest issue is the game suddenly jumps to being nearly impossible to move along once you hit the Wreck It Ralph levels (around 800). Like honestly, it has no business becoming that difficult so suddenly. Originally I could beat levels in seconds with one SN++ medal that I barely tampered with, and now I can’t beat anything with 6 of those that I’ve done as much as I can with spending so many jewels and certainly without having to “continue” multiple times, thus spending more jewels. I know the game is converting to theater mode soon, but I just want to play and get all of the cutscenes. Haven’t done much with dark road because I wanted to finish KHUx first.

### 3/5 — Uhm

*2020-12-15, version 4.1.1*

To start off I love this game, I’ve been around to see this game grow since I played as a kid and coming back was good but bad-first of all the medals-see when I was done with the tutorial and farmed a bunch of jewels since I farm a lot so when it comes to pay to win I get confused-anyway I got gaunteed seven star medals-4 at least and they were op-but the problem is once you get them and use them the game becomes easier by a lot-the story seems ez the bosses that I had so much problem with are just to easy-I haven’t gotten to pvp yet so I’m not sure what it’s like but I’m getting a lot of bad reviews on it and I don’t want my experience to be shattered when I get there-in the meantime I wish for beginners you would get at least 1-4 star medals and when u get higher level wise the good banners come in-it would really help Becuase I feel like I’m cheating than actually playing the game with all these things I have and my key blade is still level 1 so it’s strange really.

### 4/5 — Good solo game. Multiplayer is flawed.

*2020-12-10, version 4.1.1*

So I really enjoy this game at least as far as I have gotten, but I have noticed one significant issue. In the union cross game mode, I always get paired with people who one hit all of the bosses and before I know what’s happening the match is over and I haven’t gotten any items or lux. This is an incredibly annoying issue, as there are multiple items and cosmetics that can only be earned through playing union cross and getting points. I think that there should be some kind of ranking system in place where people who have about the same damage level get paired together and go against enemies attuned to their skill level so that everyone feels as though the enemies they face are challenging and the lower level players have a fair shot at getting a lot of points rather than racing against the op players just to get some lux. I don’t think I’ve ever gotten anything higher than 0.1% in union cross, and it’s not because I’m bad, I just keep getting paired with people who can one hit every single boss before I can even contribute and earn anything. Other than that one problem, I have yet to notice anything in this game that I find unfair or don’t enjoy or at least tolerate. Would definitely recommend to fans of kingdom Hearts, or just Disney in general.

### 4/5 — Dark Road SPEED Up

*2020-07-09, version 4.0.0*

I’ve been a huge fun of the kingdom hearts franchise and I’ve played practically every game. That includes the newly released Dark Road. While the game is a great way to explore the back story of Kingdom hearts infamous villain (Xehanort), this games unforgivingly requires a lot of grinding just to level up.

While the ability to use gems acquired from KHUx, is a great way to provide some much needed help in making pills for new cards (or buffing cards you already had), it still isn’t enough to get your stats balanced with the games steep heartless. 

My one request is if the develops could add a speed up/fast forward much like what Xchi to help hasten some of the grinding. At the moment, at level 26, it takes me almost an entire day to level up. Not sure how much longer I’m willing to play Dark Road if the grinding time for 1 level up is only going to get longer.

### 4/5 — I’m Impressed

*2020-04-20, version 3.5.2*

This, in my opinion, is a great game! I’m usually not attracted to these kinds of games, the art style is quite nice! Though, for some reason, after I went through what seems to be a tutorial, I got a message that said, “Thanks for playing KHUx!” Then the game immediately restarted and the screen went black, and when it showed the beginning of the game, I had to go through the whole process of getting through the beginning! I have gotten frustrated by this, because I’ve actually played this before, and this has never happened to me until now. I’ve not tried that button that if you use your Facebook account, or something like that, your progress comes back, and the reason why I don’t use it is because this is coming from a 10-year old child. And no, I don’t have a phone yet. So, I have to go through it again.  So , if this isn’t supposed to be what happens, then please fix it, or at least change it, or whatever you people do, then do it. (I don’t really know about the work you guys do) Thank you for your time.

### 3/5 — Adjust.

*2019-04-20, version 3.2.0*

I love this game so so much and I play every single day. And I have just a little suggestion for the next update. If you could could you raise the gem value we get on daily quests like complete 3 quests and compete in PvP 3 times. Idk if I’m asking a lot or not but the amount your giving us is 30 jewels per quest. And if someone only does those daily quests once per day they only make 300 jewels a day. Now not including my self but the people who have finished all the story and stuff and has nothing to get jewels from besides dailys, weekly and purchasing with irl money. It’s really tough not being able to get the medals I want to get from the store if I’m not purchasing jewels. Because I only get about 300 jewels per day, the cost of a 10 pull is 3000 jewels. So by the time that medal pull I want in the store is gone I would only have about a week or 2 to get enough for that 10 pull. And is only be able to get 1 pull because of how much jewels I’m getting daily/weekly. So if it’s not to much trouble can you help a lot of people out.

### 3/5 — Game is good, customer service is bad.

*2019-04-05, version 3.2.0*

I love this game, I have spent money and many hours on this game. So for me to be locked out of my account because it somehow unlinked itself from my Facebook is ridiculous. What’s even more ridiculous is that I’ve sent two emails with no response, and then procedure to get access to your account again is unacceptable. You have to know the exact day you first played the game? How the hell am I supposed to know that? And you have to memorize attack medals names and their skill and their attack? Who does that? Not a single person memorizes medals. Ridiculous. And you have to play 10 levels and download high definition or standard view before you can get the player ID for your temporary character, it’s extremely frustrating and not a very effective way of getting someone logged back into their player account. The whole system is a mess and needs to be fixed.

### 3/5 — Pretty. Not worth money.

*2019-03-09, version 3.1.1*

As a an active, long-term player of this game and many other major gacha mrpgs, I see so much dissatisfaction from this player base that I’m amazed it has any positive reviews.

Premium items are regularly outclassed within a month to the point of total ineffectiveness in meta. Prominent boost items are entirely obsolete. Low gacha rates are completely normal in all of my games but this game is greedy/sneaky in that the rarest and most expensive items don’t retain value and therefore do not warrant their pricing. Also, the Powers That Be seem to be phasing out their guarantee/pity-break mechanic. With a consistent time investment, it is possible for a F2P player to be competitive in challenging content (even a brand new player because whatever banner they find on their first day will be entirely overpowered). Dollars won’t guarantee any long-term advantage unless someone is prepared to regularly spend hundreds. Once your free currency is depleted, wait a week for it to accumulate and you will afford something better. Dolphins in this community constantly feel cheated that their money has been put to waste. 

For free, there’s less reason not to enjoy this game; but I am personally more inclined to recommend the sustainable, user-friendly mechanics of Opera Omnia, Dragalia, Fate/GO, or FE Heroes.... in that order.

### 3/5 — I keep leaving and coming back...

*2018-12-28, version 3.1.1*

In the beginning the leveling system for regular noob medals was discouraging. I left. Then came back and finally figured it out. Got up to a decent level but it seemed everyone had overpowered medals and I couldn't beat anything anymore. So I left. I recently came back to find there are crazy strong medals and I did have enough to get SN Seph and Xion. And now there will be tier 9?! I feel like everything below tier 7 is just dead now. How are new players supposed to compete with that? It sounds super discouraging and I personally have not and will not pay a cent for this game unless jewel prices are lowered. I think more people would purchase jewels if they were cheaper. $99 can't even get you a 5 mercy banner pull! I also wish we could gift or trade medals. It feels like a waste to sell good stuff for room when you could give it to a friend or someone who needs it to fuse. Speaking of fusing, I wish we had an option to fuse EXP medals. I have a hoard of 1★, 2★, and 3★ exp medals that I don't use because at this level (referring to the above tiers and overpowered medals and whatnot) these are utterly useless and would take too long to use. If we could fuse them into 5★ or 6★ medals that would be great (for overall less munny).

### 5/5 — Very fun, but maybe a bit scary at first

*2018-12-21, version 3.1.1*

I see a lot of reviews mention how a lot of factors like PVP and Over powered players/having low tier medals can really effect this game. I think if your a consistant player, youll find more joy in this then somebody who is very new or comes on every so often. There are a lot of oppurtunitys to obtain lux and the currencies, with pretty much every other week being AP free, consistant updates to the actual story mode as well as raid and event missions. But to really tale advantage of it, its not just a game you log in every day and do a single mission, then expect to make alot of ingame currency. The game does actually take time to play, there is a Lootbox style medal system, and you will take a while to reach higher levels (and if your not active enough, youll be trapped at 300 for what will seem like forever). Game isnt as bad as people make it, but as litterally majority of app-based games are, it takes time to get to a higher tier and it takes a lot of play to get through the game. (This coming from someone who plays a lot and still stays high enough to one-shot most raids, stay high in pvp, and not spend 15 dollars every week. Trust me it doesnt take money and cheating to play this game...)

### 5/5 — Easy to Level Up without hacking

*2018-09-27, version 3.0.0*

An amazing addition to the kingdom hearts series, in this installment you can level up very fast if you have Friends who have strong medals and you put some time and effort into the game. With new events and strong medals in the shop, there is always something fun to do, and keep an eye out for raid boss events. I was able to go from level 1 to level 300 in a couple days, which is great for me because I lost access to my old level 327 account recently. Saving up Jewels without paying real money is pretty easy, just play through story mode and they give you thousands!

Right now is the best time to play for new players and fans of the Kingdom Hearts Series. If you can figure out the best way to play, you can challenge powerful enemies and have lots of fun doing it!

### 5/5 — I used to love this game

*2018-07-29, version 2.7.0*

Kingdom Hearts is my favorite series out of everything I love. I even have kingdom hearts tattoos and I was one of the first people to download this game when it came out. It started off crazy fun but then it started to get repetitive with the worlds. Whatever, I stuck it through. A few years later... and I’m starting to dislike the game more and more which really hurts since I love KH so much. The rewards in the game are cheep, it’s turning into a pay to play game. The strong get stronger and the weak get weaker. It’s so unfair to people who can’t afford to spend hundreds of dollars a day on this game and there’s never enough time to save up enough jewels since the deals only last for so long and the jewel rewards are such garbage which forces you to pay or not get any strong medals. Only reason my rating is two stars and not one is simply because it’s kingdom hearts. I’m so disappointed in this game and I’m no longer going to give them a dime of my money. So disappointed and heartbroken it’s come to this. Please fix your game.

### 1/5 — Broken

*2020-01-25, version 3.5.0*

I really love the KH franchise and been with it from childhood to my adult hood. I was so excited about hearing this game will unravel most secrets for the KH3. Well KH3 came out like a year ago and still not everything is unraveled and there is still more story to come. I should be happy about it but I’m not... 900 chapters and still there is more question than answer.

But that’s not the case here. The case is that every time I get a nice medal, study the perks of each medal and try to use it means nothing cause every time there is newer and bigger medals that you can only get with Jewels that you either get on days of celebration or daily or get money to waste it here. I understand doing this stupid thing for PVP or some special quest with no meaning to the story... But please keep it out of the story. It’s annoying to see my hard work comes to nothing because out of nowhere this gap in level on monster just exceed more than my medals and since my pull game is very bad... It only makes this experience frustrating. This is the reason why people have been pulling away from the franchise and each time losing more customer. I might be one of them if this keeps up... It’s sad seeing how such an amazing game is getting lower ratings for stuff like this. Hope this can be fixed.

### 1/5 — Takes too long to download updates

*2019-02-14, version 3.1.1*

Since I don’t play online games that often I rarely play this game, so when I go to play it again it has to update. The bad thing about this is that the downloads are sooo long and boring, unlike kings raid (which gives a game to play while downloading). I always end up giving up and thinking that it isn’t even worth it to play kingdom hearts. The closest thing to a game that goes on while downloading is you get to touch the little monsters and they poof, that “game” gets boring real quick. 
I always wonder why it takes so long to download the updates, and the wait just doesn’t seem to be worth it. The game whorls be a little more fun if I could actually get past downloading the updates.
If I could do anything with the app I would, 1, put a couple of mini games in the downloading screen. It makes the wait less boring. 2. Find a way to make the downloading screen shorter. If it is shortened then people will not lose interest as fast, they came here for gameplay, not downloading screens.

### 1/5 — Enough Is Enough

*2018-12-18, version 3.1.0*

I am a lifelong fan of Kingdom Hearts who has been playing this game since the month it was launched. As a free to play player, I’ve struggled at times as my Medals lagged behind those who played, but it never felt like I was locked out of the game because of it. Whenever a new powerful Medal was introduced, I could press my luck, and if I didn’t get it, I’d be able to a few months down the line. This has not been the case the past six months. When the PVP mode was introduced, it heavily favored paid players, but once given feedback from the community, Square-Enix made efforts to improve it. Now, it’s obvious they don’t care. Without the Supernova ability, you might as well not bother, and every banner with the ability has had its guarantee locked behind a paywall. I understand that SE has no real obligation to its f2p community, but the VIP rewards have gone from bonus content to full on exploitation. The only thing left for f2p players is the story, but we’re losing any motivation for that as we’re six months behind the Japanese story, and with Kingdom Hearts III on the horizon, we will be trudging through another round of pointless filler while the JP community receives important plot developments. It’s been demonstrated in the past that mission cutscenes can be translated simultaneous to the JP game, so it’s absolutely inexcusable that the gap continues. At this point, the only thing keeping f2p uses coming back is Stockholm Syndrome.

### 1/5 — Not mad, just disappointed

*2018-08-13, version 2.7.0*

This game has never been great at hiding their greediness but it is just getting progressively worse. I am a die hard kh fan and maybe that’s why I haven’t stopped playing this game.. but I am done giving them my money until they stop being so money hungry. I understand they have to make money from this game and honestly I was fine putting my own cash into this, but you literally have to spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars almost every week to be ‘good’ at this game. They’ve even gone so low as to having players PAY for EVOLVE MEDALS. They keep saying they’re listening to us and they’re working on fixing the problems but really they’re just thinking about how to make even more money and only catering to the whales. I was really excited when KHUx first came out and I was always going to support it by playing everyday and putting my own money into it  (I’ve put over $2000 into the game over the past 2 years, it’s not a lot to them but it’s a lot to me). I even went to the KHUx fan event. I don’t want to hate this game, but it saddens me that some of my party members who have been playing since day 1, decided to quit and uninstall this game because of SENA’s greed and lack of content. If they ever come to their senses and fix this game I’ll more than gladly change the one star rating, but I’m not sure if it will ever happen.

### 1/5 — The company got greedy

*2018-07-27, version 2.7.0*

I got into this game think it would be great like all others KH games, but i was mistaken. First, there is no gameplay, you just tap to go from heartkess to heartless and the game fights alone, if you wanna “fight” you just swipe the screen. No dodging, no moving, no planning or skills. Just put the strongest and most expensive medals on and you will destroy everything, if you cant afford the new medals you wont finish the quests. Second, there is no story. They have made 750 story quests but you can condese the whole plot to 30-40 minutes cutscenes and it has been 1 year since the last time we got a story uodste telling us something about the story of the game. And the last straw is the gatcha component. Every week we get 2-3 medals that change the game and if you cant afford you wont complete the new quests. You can try and save you currncy to buy one, but in a few weeks there is gonna be a new one that is so much better that your medals will be useless. So unless that you are willing to pay 1000 dolar every 15 weeks good luck doing anything more than the story quests

### 1/5 — Time to move on

*2018-07-21, version 2.7.0*

I’m a huge fan of the Kingdom Hearts universe, and I fell in love with this game almost 2 years ago. While the game was mostly fun the last 2-3 months have been a huge struggle to find positives in the game. The people in charge need to get a better handle on what the players want and not solely be driven by greed that pushes the player base to unhealthy emotional responses, either F2Ps feeling hopeless, or P2Ps feeling like they are feeding an unhealthy addiction. Enough is enough. Fix your game. Do not starve the players of resources like Skills, C&Ds, experience and evolve medals. Put out more content like HSCs, Phil/Pegasus/Hades cups, more frequent story/proud quests. And either give us more ways to earn/save jewels, larger jewel deals, lower pull cost, and or slow the hell down on the banner releases. On top of that for the love of god fix your PVP and PVE experience!!! PVP is broken and this is coming from a guy that has been in top reward tier every week. PVE should not be such an extreme either. Last 2 months it was a 60+ hour grind fest, and this month folks hit their wall 2 hours into it. Incredibly disappointing how disconnected the developers have been with the game recently. Please consult with your games YouTubers like Smelly Octopus to fix this broken game, or this Whale has been harpooned for the last time.

### 1/5 — Game Focusing Completely on Pay to Win Now

*2018-07-21, version 2.7.0*

After coming back to this game about a year ago there had been some short lived encouraging factors that made me think the game would continue to improve, but ever since the implementation of PvP and 7-star medals, the marketing department has not only taken over, but is actively trying to abuse the kind of people that spend too much on this type of gatcha game. With 7-star medals, which are absurdly powerful and completely took over the game, you either have to rank high at PvP to get items to evolve your old medals, or spend money on banners to completely replace them. The PvP system is set up so that the powerful become more powerful while those that don’t rank get further behind. Then they started tuning PvE content for 7-star and new banner medals almost immediately to get people to pull on banners. And the banners have been coming in a flood, while fewer events than ever show up, and when they do they have few or no currency to pull on banners. The latest abuse is a special board that provides bonus damage, but can only be completed by doing 30 pulls on the newest banners, which would cost approximately $600. And the buffs are temporary... This game is crumbling with current design, and the marketing department seems to be trying to extract as much money as possible before everyone gets fed up and leaves. New players, stay far, far away. You have zero chance of catching up and competing.

### 1/5 — We love you Square, but you don’t love us anymore..

*2018-07-21, version 2.7.0*

Hey, my names Tom. I have been playing since day one. I used to love this game. The excitement, the story, the challenges, the amount you cared for your players, all of it. But over the past year, it really seems like you guys have shifted from caring about your players, to making as much money as possible off of us. This just isn’t the square enix, and the game that I love. I graciously ask that you go back to how you used to be. I don’t think the constant banners would be a problem, if more jewels were offered to free to play players. Even myself buying each weekly extravaganza (which is way more than anyone should spend on a mobile game) it’s just not realistic to succeed in this game. Your fans and players love you square, you have given us amazing stories, amazing games, and amazing childhoods. But right now, it seems like you don’t share the same love for us that we do for you. Please, just consider what you’re doing to us, and try to change.

-Tom

### 1/5 — It’s starting to get disappointing

*2018-07-21, version 2.7.0*

So I have been playing this game since it came out and yes it has improved so much ever since yes they did make free to play much more easy and faster to get jewels but it’s still pay to win so look they introduced a new mode called PvP which it was fun and I good idea at first I liked it but then when I made it around the 1000 ranking group it was too competitive it was too much and also there is this thing called fairy medals and what fairy medals do is they can evolve six star medals too seven star medals and seven star medals are crucial and I mean CRUCIAL CRUCIAL for PvP and what they do is they make a big wall that in order to get those seven star medals you also need 7 star medals but the only way you can get them is PvP or pulls but pulls cost money too yeah you can get free jewels but what they do what they do is they push new banners and new skills so you can get them but then a new medal comes out that’s really good but then a f2p person doesn’t have enough jewels so they get screwed and it’s the same cycle all the time sorry if it’s long I have other complaints but I just can’t really do this anymore so if I can’t change the game then I’ll just quit well done sena you just lost another customer.

### 1/5 — Don't waste time or money on this cash grab of a game

*2018-07-20, version 2.7.0*

The decisions made by the developers are not at all made with free-to-play players in mind. They are so obviously locking the player's options of actually becoming powerful in this game behind paywalls that in some cases will cost hundreds of dollars to get through. The game also keeps incredibly vital parts of improving one's power in the game behind rewards given out to those who rank at the top in competitions where there is basically no strategy involved and just boils down to who has stronger equipment. This is insulting to us free-to-play players as it means that the people who give money to this awful game will only get stronger and those who do not will become weaker in comparison, creating an unforgiving gap between the "premium" players and the regular players. I want to defend this game as I love the Kingdom Hearts series but the treatment of the players is so poor that I cannot defend or recommend this game to others. The only thing good about this game is the story but there are such large gaps between story updates and there are so many filler quests in-between that even playing for just the story is not worth your time since the story can easily be experienced over the internet. Please, do not waste any time or more importantly, money on this cash grab of a game.

### 5/5 — I wish I got in sooner

*2022-06-17, version 4.4.0*

I really wish that a I got into this game a lot sooner. Because this looked like an amazing game to play! But now in this offline mode, I got all of the new items and everything else for free! Which is cool by the way, but I wish that I can still DO stuff then to look at the theater reels but I love that one because it gives me some interesting story’s to tell. But I wish that you could still play the game when it was online and get more new rewards. I still love Kingdom hearts no doubt, but if was a battle mode where you get to do some action that would be pretty cool! Also do you think you could add some more Lion King accessories? I like the balloons but where’s Simba  and Nala at? I might be asking to much on that one but I would like some action. I hope that you all are have a nice and blessed day! ❤️❤️❤️🗝🔓🔒

### 5/5 — So long old friend

*2021-07-02, version 4.4.0*

This has been an amazing game! I truly loved it. I got it as soon as it came out. It’s truly sad to see it go. I met so many people and got to experience so many happy and sad moment in this game. I’m going to miss it. Not going to lie: I miss my pet in the game. I honestly completely forgot the service for this game was ending and when I went into it, everything was gone. Yeah you know have every outfit in the game but I don’t have all that titles I had collected over the years and my pet is gone 😭. I’m going to miss playing the game. Yeah they have the theater mode and such but it isn’t the same. But as the saying goes: all good things must come to an end. I hope they do another MMO (possibly an RPG) kingdom hearts games. So long old friend. You will be missed 💙

### 5/5 — Now that service has ended

*2021-07-01, version 4.4.0*

I loved this game and have had it since release I just hope you guys make the union cross side of the game somehow playable in the offline version since there is so much I never got to do and even though the cutscenes are there to watch they feel a little hollow since I never made it too far since I focused so hard on leveling up and never got to reach most of the game I genuinely love this game and hope to see more of it one day the only thing that would make it better is making a fully fledged kingdom hearts action rpg with this story that is the greatest hope I have at this moment the one thing that would complete the franchise for me since I’ve been a fan since I was 2 back in 2002 I doubt anyone will read this but I would love to see this game without the gacha aspect since I struggle with money and the game is virtually unplayable without spending some

### 5/5 — Shouldn’t end.

*2021-06-24, version 4.3.1*

Despite all the people who complain about this game, I believe that they need to realize that this is both the only mobile kingdom hearts and is likely the most important to the story being a prequel to the series and they really should stop whining considering that it is for ages 4+. Anyways I do believe that when this goes down, please make an even better kingdom hearts for the phone with graphics that imitate an anime and story that people can be onboard with entirely and have it possible to get everything just by playing the game. I came back to this game after several years only to be greeted by a thanks for playing banner and that made me realize one of the best free to play games was ending. Unlike a few of the ff games you made for mobile, I actually am able to stay interested in this game which says a lot. I could go on and on about this but I just want you to know that I have always been a fan of your work and I want to say thank you for a great game.

### 5/5 — Make it easier to get BP please (Dark Road)

*2020-08-18, version 4.0.1*

I really love both of these games. I’m a lover of all things Kingdom Hearts, and I have been playing this game practically since it came out. I’m really excited about Dark Road as well. I know it has only recently came out, and I’m confident there will be more events to give more BP, but I would live if you guys made it much easier to get BP. I’m currently under leveled compared to my party members (only level 22), and I struggle in the story quests. Other than using quest keys and completing missions (which of some of them can be difficult due to my low level), the only other way I can earn a ton of BP is by letting world battle run overnight, and that’s not fun gameplay in my eyes. Please make it easier to get BP in Dark Road. I would like my level to match or even surpass the heartless I fight. Regardless, the I enjoy both games and adore the story of each. I give this app 4 stars.

### 5/5 — Dark Road

*2020-06-23, version 4.0.0*

Game lore is great, game looks good and runs well for me. Gameplay makes game feel tedious when you are too weak for the mission you simply have to sit there and grind for bp just to maybe level up, and with that new level only have a slightly better chance at the level you couldn’t get past without buying to win. If more cards were added and there was an easier way to get jewels to get cards more often would lead to being able to level up your stats easier and make the gameplay less tedious feeling if your actually able to use new cards or strengthen the ones you already have so you don’t have to sit on one star endless levels to grind your bp. Looking forward to updates and hopefully improvements, great potential!

### 5/5 — I love this game

*2019-04-04, version 3.2.0*

I just have to say that when I first discovered this game in the app store, the pay-to-play comments completely turned me off to it. it wasn't until later when I had noticed the ratings had gone up a little (and after I completed kingdom hearts 3 and I needed a fix) that I decided to try it out anyway- and man, am I glad I did! I disagree that it’s completely pay-to-play focused. when I first started, I jumped into a few union cross quests and was able to collect an enormous amount of lux. I levelled up extremely quickly and unlocked a ton of avatar items that really make my character look expensive and like I paid a lot of money to make it look cool, though I didn't pay a cent. the game also gives out quite a lot of diamonds, which is what is used to purchase the ’good stuff’. the game gives out diamonds for completing daily quests, weekly quests, and monthly quests- as well as daily log in bonuses and even occasionally when a story quest is completed. though there are some VIP quests and avatar items that can only be purchased with real money, this game is so fun and addicting it’s been tempting to me to spend that extra bit even just to help out the developers and support square enix. i’m a huge square enix fan and I'm also a big fan of this wonderful game. try it for yourself and see!

### 5/5 — New idea

*2019-02-26, version 3.1.1*

What if a new mode was added, kinda of like a FIFA FUT draft system. 

There are multiple phases to this mode:

Phase 1: three different Keyblades presented to pick. 

Phase 2: five medals are shown. Pick one. Another five medals are shown—until 6 medals have filled whichever Keyblade chosen. 

Phase 3: edit the Keyblade, see what should change, whatever. 

Phase 4: each medal gets random traits

Phase 5: you get taken to another screen with a specific set of maps to clear—or maybe a boss to beat. 

Phase 6: rewards offer jewels

Goal of this mode is to showcase ALL medals that have ever been created. I feel too often medals that were once amazing become obsolete to the point that one is forced to never use it again. 

This mode will hopefully offer the opportunity for people to use medals that are not their own. This way, people can experience and appreciate the medals once created, instead of only using “meta” medals. 

What this mode must use is a theme, or specific set of perimeters when being presented with medals. Maybe only T7 medals are shown, or T1, or T4. Maybe specific characters of a world are shown, etc. 

I really hope you consider what I’m suggesting. I think this is what the KHUX community really need!

### 5/5 — There is a free Alternative to thrive in this Game!

*2019-02-20, version 3.1.1*

Many complain about the Implementation of 7 star medals, PvP, and other factors which contribute to their frequent losses and such. People complain that they cannot afford to purchase currency in this game due to its ridiculous price-to-jewel ratio. There is a solution. RESTART ALL OVER AGAIN. Granted, you will lose level progress, and some medals, but restarting allows you to replay the game and make better decisions with the amount of jewels you get as oppose to when you first downloaded the game. You are granted with 25k+ jewels after finishing the tutorial, and also granted another 35k just for completing the story quests alone. Not to mention events, boards, etc. Restarting your data allows you to potentially pull the best medals KHUX is currently offering, and in the long run, I have NOT regretted starting over. Not to mention that I am a Free to play person. This game is incredible, you just need to play with the right people to help you develop knowledge about the fundamentals of this competitive game. Thank you for reading this. Good Luck!

### 5/5 — Terrible ‘Free to Play’ Support

*2018-12-25, version 3.1.1*

The game does not support a large component of their player base. Most of banners that advertise strong or useful units are blockade by a paywall, that requires a weekly vip subscription. The new implemented banners: VIP (pay a certain amount of online currency to receive a guarantee chance to receive said unit plus a double percentage rate of pulling said unit compared to the normal pull rates in the non-VIP), and non-VIP (pay as much online currency as the player has without any sign or leverage of getting said unit) is unethical. As a member of this community for over 3 years I have to say this game treats their player base like garbage. The real reason why this game has a 4.1/5.0 rating is because the gaming company, SENA, is luring a newer player base (and begging for reviews after the whole ‘newcomer rewards’ they provide at the start then abandoning them off to the side to play extraneous hours—to collect resource for them, the new players, to later fall miles behind because they could not pull for relevant units to compete with). If I could I would rate this app as 0 stars; I am highly disappointed that Disney decided to continue working with SENA after their blatant displays of greed.
