This game actually surprised me. The early game is kind of a slog, especially with the recon missions, but by late game the amount of abilities and keyblades you can use make the game really interesting.
The inventory system is really fun, almost reminding me of the Resident Evil 4 inventory style (one of my favorite game mechanics ever). Also, the limit system is really cool, encouraging players to get some hits in while on low health to deal an incredible amount of damage.
It's a shame really that nobody gives this game a chance, but I get it. It's a fucking DS game and it doesn't look all that great and Square Enix never decided to remake this game like they did with Birth by Sleep and Dream Drop, so it's kind of a hard thing to sell someone on. But as a long time Kingdom Hearts fan, I think this is my second favorite game in the series (with 2 being the best of course).
Heavily recommend playing this on MelonDS btw. You can upscale it and play it with a controller, making the experience quite a ways better.
