KINGDOM HEARTS Uχ Dark Road 4+

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!

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...)

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.
