Kingdom Hearts Melody of Memory

Por lo general el juego está bastante bien, lo único que le veo mal es que el online con amigos no exista, y que hay demasiadas canciones mediocres, y han dejado fuera algunas muy buenas.

(7/10)

Recomendado.

So this is basically a recap but disguised as a music rhythm game. While the series is already downhill at this point, the music seems to be something that is carrying the series as a whole. As much as I enjoyed this and got a bit bored even though it wasn't much as a challenge (played on Proud), it didn't satisfy me as much. I swear, this will probably be the final KH game that I will ever play to end this torture.

IF I HEAR "LET IT GO" ONE MORE TIME, I WILL LITERALLY TURN INTO THE POSTAL DUDE AND COMMIT WAR CRIMES OML

Before Kingdom Hearts fans get butt hurt and say "these games need these ridiculous spinoffs, you don't know what you're talking about you have played all the games" i have played most of the games, the only ones I haven't were X union, 358/2 days, and Recoded. For the most part the only one I'm actively going to play is 358/2 days because the story so far did an awful job of making the game/ "movie" interesting for how damn long it is. And Recoded is stupid as shit that even future games barely acknowledge it. So much so this game acknowledges it only calling it "the data world" and that's it.

This game i can honestly say is one of the worst entries in this franchise. I have played re:chain of memories (ps4) and i find this to be more torturous than that.

Also can i just say, i like the kingdom hearts music, it fits its atmosphere for the games...but they're not songs i would listen to outside of the games. None of these songs are good for a rhythm game in terms of enjoyability to listen to.
Also the only memorable thing from this is the ending. Look you can Obsessively love Kingdom Hearts and enjoy everything single thing they put out. But don't surprised if the stop trying for future spinoffs. Cause omg the fact they somehow got away with charging $60 for this shit is insulting.

Idc how much you love kingdom hearts, this sound track is not comparable to games like Yakuza 1-7, Metal Gear Rising, final fantasy, Transformers Devastations, and Persona ( "OMG HE MENTION PERSONA, OF COURSE WOULD BLAH BLAH BLAH")

Look if you played the Persona dancing games, and regardless if you think it was just a video of the characters dancing, while you pressed buttons flashing on the screen, I understand that. Though to be honest you can kind parallel it sort of to the Hatsune Miku Project Diva games as they do the same thing. Now here's the thing, Persona 3, 4, and 5 dancing and Project Diva have great soundtracks with remixed tracks that are ENJOYABLE TO LISTEN TO. Yeah sure some of them are bad like infamous Dede Mouse Remix in Persona 4 Dancing. But for the most part the tracks are great, so much so it makes you want to most likely listen to the music away from the game.

The only tracks I personally would do that with in Kingdom hearts is the remixes of Dearly Beloved, Simple and Clean, Ventus's theme, Sanctuary, etc. I forget if there's even a remixed track in this game, like it would've been so cool to hear remixes of original tracks that arent disney and before some smart-ass says

"Umm ThE KingDom HeaRts SouNdTracKs aRE AMaZing, I BOp to It EVERyday " 🤓

no you don't.


Look alright... look i can get passed the reuse of asset, because it saves time for Square Enix to work on FF7 Remake Part 2 and Kingdom Hearts 4, cool.
I can passed that they didn't make remixed tracks...

What I can't passed is how f***ing repetitive this game, look you want to listen to the soundtrack cool, but there's not a lot here. It's literally just the same thing over and over. Literally it's just the characters running in a music grid around in circle with assets of maps from previous games in the background, as well as enemies from said levels as the notes. You do that about 77 levels, and that's it. Literally nothing else.
"What were you expecting, a open world game,"

i was expecting to be entertained with good music, I was bored out of my mind and ended up listen to my own music.

I played the kingdom hearts games from beginning to end, so before someone says " you probably didn't even play the others games" I did
This is the worst entry.

Oh and also that brings up the fact this game has the gall to be a summary of the previous game for people who don't want to go back and play those games, or dont care enough to.
The only value you'll get from this game is the ending. So if you don't want to be bored, just go watch the ending on YouTube.

Anyway yeah, tldr:
this game was boring as shit with music I wanted to mute because while the music for KH is enjoyable, doesn't make good for a rhythm game. With repetitive asf gameplay, with a story that amounts to reading a wiki summary of each previous entry. I hate this game, if you like it cool, I found it to be tortuous and the worst entry in Kingdom Hearts

A pretty solid rhythm game in its own right, but it could've been better. Theatrhythm Final Fantasy Curtain Call is one of my favorite rhythm games, and Melody of Memory simultaneously feels like Theatrhythm with more and less steps. I like how it tries to blend the gameplay of its predecessor with how KH combat looks, but this comes at the cost of readability. Particularly on Proud difficulty, some charts can be very difficult to read because enemies can appear in very confusing patterns and the timing indicators are very thin and can be misread.

I much prefer the boss charts and Memory Dive charts, but it's unfortunate that these types of charts are severely underutilized compared to the regular Field Battle charts. Leveling up characters also feels non-engaging compared to Theatrhythm since you just get stat increases that barely make an impact on gameplay. You don't obtain new abilities or items– there's no customization at all, which feels like a missed opportunity.

At least I have a rhythm game where I can play Vector to the Heavens and L'Impeto Oscuro.

Kingdom Hearts rhythm game... okay.


I mean it's fine ig. It is literally just 10 hours of songs you can play through. and the story is just 9 and a half hours of recapping the entire franchise which, If you've just marathoned the entire franchise, get's very old, very quick.

Only the last 30 or so minutes has original story so you can just watch it on YouTube to be honest.


Gameplay wise? I mean it's a rhythm game, that's about it, you know what you're getting here.


well I am finally done with this franchise for awhile.

Thank god.

don't get me wrong, I do love this series.

but fuck me I also hate it lol.

La verdad que un juego de ritmos más que decente, bastante contenido, buena jugabilidad y música TOP. La banda sonora de una saga que todo el mundo conoce ya, es brillante y uno de los mejores trabajos de Yoko Shimomura, que ya es decir.

Luego el cabrón de Nomura es capaz de hacerte canon y meterte historia incluso en un juego como este, es verdad que no es nada vital, pero ya se ven cositas de por dónde va a tirar Kingdom Hearts 4 y un poco de qué camino van a tomar varios de los personajes principales de la saga. También en este sentido es un poco oportunidad perdida de reivindicar un personaje tan maltratado como Kairi (Nomura, Nomura con los personajes femeninos), y un juego donde supuestamente es la protagonista, ni con esas es la excepción a la regla, vuelve a dar un paso al lado por Sora. Siendo de nuevo un personaje inútil que siempre tiene que ser salvado... Al menos, parece que para Kingdom Hearts 4 va a entrenar y lo mismo tras 15 mil juegos hace algo más que ser salvada o ser el interés de un triángulo amoroso. Venga Nomura, que puedes darle algo de tregua a la chavala.

Pero bueno, la historia al final lo que añade es bastante poquito, el resto del juego son escenas que resumen, de manera horrible, todas las entregas de consola que la saga había tenido hasta ahora, y que alguien que no las haya jugado no se va a enterar de una puta mierda.

Toda esta parte al final es más un añadido para darle algo de cohesión al juego que otra cosa, las escenas finales no encajan nada mal, pero todo estas escenas resumen a modo de recuerdo de Kairi, fatal, su único aporte es un poco la nostalgia de ver alguna cosa que te suena haber jugado.

Donde no falla es en su jugabilidad y música, lo importante en este tipo de juego, vamos. Así que bastante recomendable en ese sentido, incluso para gente que no es fan de la saga, no hace falta serlo para disfrutar de una banda sonora tan buena y unas mecánicas que no aburren para nada.

I'm a sucker for rhythm games so this was always going to be a good time.

I enjoy the approach to smacking heartless in this one. It's very satisfying to smack em around to the beat of the various KH tracks. The tracks themselves are the games biggest strength but also greatest weakness. KH has so much GREAT music. The problem here is that the ratio is completely off. There are way more songs than there need to be. Seriously most of the songs are battle themes which can be very hit or miss. I'm also bummed that Dearly Beloved only shows up once despite being the most important track in the franchise. That was lame.

Otherwise, it's still a good time. The tracks are bite sized so even the bad ones don't linger too long. The ending is full of great groundwork for the future of the franchise and I'm stoked for what's to come.

Bring it on Nomura
