This game is so interestingly bad because there's some things I don't mind about it, like how it's a mobile game with only one currency for everything, the story was mostly interesting, and progression is remarkably simple. Still not saved from the fact that you have to leave your phone on for 50+ hours total having auto-battle run once you get a half decent deck built and buy a hundred or so charms. While I do think the story is very interesting, it does also feel very undercooked for most the cast, a lot of them not feeling like they have much to do, and very backloaded, a whole lot of nothing until the last third. On one hand I somewhat respect having the game playable in this offline state instead of making it a cutscene compilation, I'm always going to prefer playing things for myself to have a full opinion. At the same time nothing is really lost just by looking up some cutscenes if you just can't put in the time to leave your phone on for that long.

Great story delving into the people Xehanort and Eraqus were before the events of the series. The rest of the classroom and the cast being a delight to see
Fun gameplay tbh just an extreme amount of grinding is needed so its best to just buy a ton of revival items and have the game do it for you
Also just buy the best cards

boring as fuck once again go watch a youtube video or summ

I actually managed to finish this once, unlike X/Unchained/Union Cross. Story is ok. The game has play by itself (auto mode left during the whole night for grind/farming, yes) if you want real progresses, so you can already imagine what kind of garbage is.

My distaste for mobile gacha games eclipses an otherwise decent- and important- story in the Kingdom Hearts saga.

This shit is not worth the tedium of grinding, it's worse than an NES JRPG. Just watch the cutscenes online, the gameplay adds nothing to the experience.
