Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories

A 3D remake of Chain of Memories whose battles are entirely built around numbered cards, deck construction and Sleights rather than the freeform action combat of KH1/2.

Quick verdict

Should you play Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories?

Key strengths: Every attack, spell and item is a card, so deck order and card values matter as much as reflexes. Sleights consume combinations of cards to create powerful attacks, forcing a trade-off between burst power and long-fight deck endurance.
