    Fantastic rhythm game if you're a big fan of the Kingdom Hearts series. The music is great and the gameplay is pretty unique. Greatly inspired by Final Fantasy Theatrhythm and that was one of my favorite rhythm games out there. The story is more of a recap of the series told by Kairi. Dont expect anything major in terms of continuing the plot. I mean it's a rhythm game., a really funFantastic rhythm game if you're a big fan of the Kingdom Hearts series.

    Juego bastante entretenido, donde se mezcla el mundo de Kingdom Hearts con un juego de ritmos, gran cantidad de mundos y personajes, se hace muy ameno para pasar un buen rato

    If you are a rhythm and Kingdom Hearts games fan then you're up for a treat! Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory was made by same developers that released The Theatrhythm games on 3DS.

Boss battles, cinematics, online play and a lot of stuff to collect is also included.

    A beautiful rhythm game filled with amazing music tracks from across the franchise. Very accessible to newcomers in the rhythm game genre but also balanced challenge to keep it interesting and engaging. Very promising online features for both casual and competitive players.

    If you love rhythm games, then this game is for you. The feeling on playing in proud mode and managing to full chain a very hard song is so satisfying. This game is so much fun and deserves more recognition.

    A really decent rhythm game from the creators of Theatrhythm. If you're a fan of kingdom hearts games, you're in for a treat. The game lacks a few quintessential pieces from the kingdom hearts universe though, and there is no DLC in store at the moment of this review It's also rather easy if you're used to rhythmic games.

    If you're into Rhythm games or just a fan of KH, you will enjoy this game, even if you're a Smash Bros fan, because Dearly Beloved ia available for free if ypu have Sora and this game.    … Expand

    The rhythm game developed mainly for the Kingdom Hearts fans recycles old material (the story consists of cutscenes from previous games of the series), but makes an interesting use of it, offers plenty of content and is overall well-designed. [01/2021, p.66]

    What most winds up dragging down Melody of Memory, ironically, is that it tries too hard to be a Kingdom Hearts adventure rather than a cohesive rhythm game. [Issue #50 – January/February 2021, p. 69]

    Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory is a great rhythm game that is sure to be enjoyed by newcomers and veteran players of the genre. However, if you’re buying it for the story you should probably skip this. This isn’t the Kairi game fans have been pining for since the Re:Mind DLC.
