    The narrative is absolutely worth experiencing from beginning to end as it provides an exceptional core coupled with impressively satisfying connective tissue to the franchise’s past and future. Truthfully speaking, writing this review was quite a challenging process given its nature, but I’m glad I gave this game the limelight it deserves.

    Even tho the Gameplay can be hard to get used to at first, it's all the more worth it with the incredible story telling, and true KINGDOMEven tho the Gameplay can be hard to get used to at first, it's all the more worth it with the incredible story telling, and true KINGDOM HEARTS fans will enjoy it, from beginning till the end. The characters are interesting, and the use of the Disney worlds is the best the series has ever done. It is truly an unforgettable experience, worth the effort. Expand

    The gameplay is card based where you select 3 cards to perform an attack. You can get stronger cards through the gacha system.

    If you like things like collecting cards, are a big Kingdom Hearts fan and don't mind it is being played buy itself, you could give it a shot. Since it is a live service game, new gameplay elements, new cards and new events are getting added consistently.

    Since it is just a unique game which is definitely not the cup of tea for everyone, it is really hard to give it a score. I am playing it since release and I enjoy what I get out of this game, which is collecting cards and progress your character. it's like a nice little side game which you play alongside your main games. Therefore I will give it a 7/10. But I can also understand why it would get lover scores. This one is really subjective and hard to review in my opinion.

    Dark Road is a tough game, but I love it. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who is new to the genre, just because of how difficult it can be.Dark Road is a tough game, but I love it. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who is new to the genre, just because of how difficult it can be. The story line is really insightful and poignant. The backgrounds are incredibly well done, with this beautiful blend of color and darkness that really captures the theme.

    I was not prepared for how dark it would be. It's still an amazing game but...I don't know. It's just so dark! I'm excited to see what comes in the next installment of the series and can't wait to play more, but it is a very hard game.

    I got this game thinking it was just a bunch of pictures and videos but nope, it's actually also a game. I lost hours of my sleep and minutes of my time clicking through the story and going on quests. I think it's worth checking out for sure!

    You can't take anything seriously with a name that's too confusing and complicated. If it was about the sky, it would be called "Sky Road" or something like that. The first person to say this Dark Road is a video game gets disciplinary action for such blatant disrespect for our future culture.

    Dark Road is a great game. The graphics, voice acting, gameplay, and story all make for a beautiful package of smoothness in the playing experience. I can't recommend Dark Road enough to anyone who has even the slightest interest in the kingdom of Disney & it's wonderful inhabitants.

    I've been living in the shadows for way too long. I was sure something is there, but I didn't want to see it. But look at me now? I braved the Dark Road after a friend dared me to and came out the other side with a new sense of perspective about my mental health.
