Kingdom Hearts 3D on Nintendo 3DS features a story full of surprises, stunning new worlds to explore, a host of your favourite Disney friends, and engrossing gameplay elements never seen before in the series. You'll encounter a cast of beloved characters, from Mickey, Goofy and Donald, to Pinocchio in his Prankster's Paradise, and Claude, the high-swinging Hunchback of Notre Dame. Whether you're a long-term fan, or a complete newcomer to the Kingdom Hearts world, you're guaranteed an adventure beyond your wildest dreams. You'll join the two heroes, Sora and Riku, as they prepare to be put through their paces by King Mickey and the sorcerer, Yen Sid. A terrifying threat to the world looms on the horizon, and our heroes must take the Mark of Mastery exam to prove they have what it takes to face the challenges that lie ahead. This will entail heading into the dreamy domains known as the Sleeping Worlds, coming face to face with the Dream Eaters, and fighting to wake these realms from their slumber. The gameplay is a thrilling combination of RPG depth and real-time sword-swinging action. Accessing the Command Deck allows you to effortlessly set which special actions (like spells, items or special attacks) you'll use during combat, meaning you can customise your abilities to suit your particular style of play.
