Back in the day KH1 and KH2 were the only things I knew from Kingdom Hearts. I had no idea about the middle games, and when I played KH2, I was kinda confused by Sora sleeping on an Egg Chamber.
Since I was obsessed with kingdom hearts, I stumbled across this game. Initially I thought it was a random fan game that sorta recaps the events of KH1, but later on I realized it's a canonical game which leads up to KH2.
I admit back in the day I was very dense and almost believed that Naminé was actually on the islands, until I reached the Climax were it's revealed to Sora (and me XD) that everything was a lie inserted to him.
Ahh good old times, I remember being so damn hyped when I realized there was a Riku part of the story, so I really held this game on high regard.
It kinda saddens me that CoM in general is brushed off due to being a card game, but I really liked this game, for being a GBA game this game really had a lot of content and hidden mechanics it was unreal. And once you master the combat, the card system actually becomes fun to tweak with, unlocking new abilities that makes farming heartless easy and overwhelm bosses with a barrage of unbreakable cards (thanks to the Jafar card) or obliterate enemies to the void (with Lexaeus card on Riku's end) it's just damn fun.
Needless to say, I have a certain preference to the OG CoM, it has better things than Re:CoM (except Re:CoM did the Riku part more fun with the duels, but Re:CoM turned heartless into HP sponges, specially towards the end, making it kinda tedious, but that's only it)
Kinda glad I wanted to give the KH series another chance after being hugely disappointed by KH3, but deep inside I still have some love for the series, all thanks to KH1.
