Reviews from

in the past


I love this game. I keep going back to it periodically attempting to 100% it. Have only completed Terra’s story 100% so far.

Me ha sorprendido bastante para bien, pero el diseño de bosses es horrible y hace que la mayoría sean incomodos de jugar.

Hay un modo Distrito Fortuna y es pico.

I like Birth By Sleep a lot. It is among my favorite of the Kingdom Hearts games. The story is a bit more coherent than normal and the combat is fun and expressive.

Being set in the past with a limited amount of characters really helps this game's story. This is a good introduction to Aqua, Ventus, and Terra, but it also lets us see some other characters earlier in their lives, so that is cool. The story is straightforward and predictable, and some of the character decisions are pretty asinine, but it mostly makes sense and lacks most of the trash that causes KH 1, 2, and 3 to be incomprehensible. Aqua is everyone's favorite character for a reason, and I like seeing the version of her here that isn't all traumatized by spending 100 years in the darkness dimension or whatever.
The game does suffer a bit for having all three characters go through the same worlds, even though they play different, some of the bosses mix things up, and it is interesting to see the story from three different perspectives.

Gameplay in Birth By Sleep takes a bit to wrap your head around, but once I got the hang of how commands work, I found the system to be super fun to exploit. The basic gameplay of setting up your command deck to put you into the form you want is very satisfying and it feels great once you get things working the way you want. I really enjoyed that each character pushes you in a different direction, favoring different forms and commands.
Melding is great. I love being able to improve my abilities directly like this and the addition of commands granting you abilities you can discover and permanently unlock (Final Fantasy IX!?) is really rewarding.
By the end of each character's story, when you have the most powerful commands unlocked, it can get a bit repetitive, however. It is never worse than combat often is in this game though, and the form changes let you opt into different gameplay pretty easily, if you want to.

Birth By Sleep is a really great game. Possibly my favorite in the series. If you want a solid action game with some cool systems, check it out!

(played in Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 Remix)

After I only played this franchise, because I apparently hate myself, it was kind of great to see that I really like this one. Mostly the grinding and the board game.

Another Kingdom Hearts spin-off. It's alright. But the story at this point is unsalvagable.


a melhor historia de Kingdom Hearts, um combate magnifico por ser tão dinâmico e com os melhores protagonistas da franquia.

The command deck is fundamentally not engaging, and who's the idiot that forgot to include hitstun in this action game

Ventus' final boss is horrifically bad, even more so on Critical

I never finished the game on PSP, so I was thrilled when the remaster was announced for PS3, though I never got to it. Then it was ported to PS4 and I finally played this game. The battle system was refined and the extra analog stick not available on the PSP was also very helpful. Some of the most fun and flashy boss fights and a fun way to tell the story, with three character points of view.

Any cutscene with Xehanort is a delight due to the late Leonard Nimoy voicing him perfectly. I appreciated how each character played differently and had their distinct style - my favorite was Aqua.

I may consider replaying this on PS3 someday to get the other set of story trophies, or Xbox for the achievements.

CAN THEY PLEASE JUST BE HAPPY. WHY CAN'T THEY BE HAPPY

I think that the whole "this game saved my life" trend is a bit annoying but this one kind did that for me if I'm being honest

This game ties with the original as the best in the franchise. The split stories may be repetitive for some, but it is one of the games I think of most when I think of Kingdom Hearts.

Bom jogo, uma das melhores adições para a lore da serie no geral no entanto não gosto do bactracking todo de ter de acabar a série toda 3 vezes.
O ventus é o meu favorito.

Terra, aqua and ventus, all three elements form the depression trio

the good:
- i really like the story, even though terra's is literally just revenge of the sith
- ventus and vanitas are really interesting characters
- the music, generally, is pretty good
- shotlocks

the bad:
- the difficulty curve is very steep, like you'll fight through enemies in radiant garden easily but then you'll do chip damage to even common floods in the next worlds
- disney. f*cking. town.
- the worlds feel a little too small, which is understandable for a psp game, but then half of them are like mazes
- ventus's story feels like it adds nothing to the overall plot until the finale

the verdict:
casting the star wars guy and the star trek guy as the two opposing forces was the funniest thing disney has ever done

immaculate prequel, I'm incredibly sad now

Story, phenomenal. Gameplay, fun.
Not my favourite in the series, but it's up there.

Best combat in the series
Game drags hard by the 3rd character

what if kingdom hearts ii had worse vocal performances, less interesting environments, and a horrible combo system. like truly awful - none of the commands combo into each other and they are usually actively disadvantageous to use. it just feels like dogshit to play.

This is where Kingdom Hearts peaked narratively after KH II. After that it goes downhill.

Much like the original game's Final Mix, I think only nominal changes were made here. Enough to justify another playthrough but only if you're a sucker for the game like I am.

Um pouco repetitivo(SETE LUTAS COM O VANITAS) e curva de nível sem nexo(a diferença que um nível faz é loucura)

I'll be damned, what a fantastic game with a very interactive gameplay mechanic that adds a new spice to the game and keeps each playthrough interesting. Speaking of playthroughs, all three of the characters were each really fun to play through, especially Aqua since she was hella mobile and magic powerful. Terra & Ventus were also really fun to play, having their own challenges to boot as well.

Overall, another amazing entry through the series, yippee!!

Square fr thought to themselves that porting a psp game on a modern consule was a good idea

El peak de KH, el único que volvería a jugar junto con el III


For a game thats rough around the edges, there's actually some incredible character writing in here.

it's good but i don't like the fact that you pretty much have to play the game 3 times and all the worlds being pretty much the same.

love kh but not my fav personally

Bastante bien. Al ser 3 historias, cada una se hace cortita, aunque el tener que jugar los mismos mundos 3 veces es algo ligeramente en su contra, así que se nivela. 8.5/10
