Kingdom Hearts Unchained χ Review: Better Than Expected
Even a mobile game lover like myself can’t deny that it’s easy to be cynical when it comes to stuff like Kingdom Hearts Unchained

Thankfully it’s not bad. Unchained
There’s something of a card-like element here, with medals representing different characters (from Disney, Final Fantasy, and Kingdom Hearts itself) that can be slotted into your Keyblades to give you elemental attacks and special abilities. These medals can also be leveled-up to increase their power, or evolved into significantly stronger forms. And, of course, you get to sacrifice the medals you don’t want in order to do it.
Events in Kingdom Hearts Unchained
That said, not having to wander around in a group makes the combat enjoyably simple. Just tap to attack a single target, or swipe to attack several at once. Then drag a medal to the center of the screen to trigger a powerful special ability and watch the tiny little health/experience/ability/munny balls explode all over the place. I’m not gonna lie, I kind of really dig the way all the stuff you knock out of enemies goes flying everywhere. You can team up with friends to take on raid bosses (a-la most multiplayer style mobile games), but other than that you’ll be fighting solo.
But that’s okay, because with a little regular upkeep you’ll be a total powerhouse. Maybe a little too much of a powerhouse, honestly. There are a lot of upgrades to chase down, which is great, but with minimal effort I’ve been able to blast through story quests. I’ll admit that it takes more effort, and a little bit of strategizing, in order to complete all three challenges in each quest (i.e. defeat all enemies in one turn, deal X amount of damage with one attack, etc), but simply getting through quests is almost disappointingly easy.
That said, Special quests and Event quests do present more of a challenge. They can also give you some great materials for upgrading, lots of Munny, and so on. The problem here is that you’ll have to grind through the story quests a lot before you’ll stand much of a chance. It is possible to finish one of these quests against significantly higher-level enemies, but you might have to try several times (or spend Jewels – the premium currency – to continue). These quests can also be a bit of a roadblock because they require several more times the AP (stamina/whatever) than the regular story quests.
It’s weird how Kingdom Hearts Unchained
The good
- Plenty of nods to classic characters and stories
- Lots of upgrading and customization to be had
The bad
- Some of the story bits and references feel half hearted
- Most special quests and events have absurdly high level requirements
- Way too easy in general
