Birth by Sleep was a decent game at best. Of the spin-off titles so far in the chronological order I'm playing them in, this game was the best one. The gameplay first retained some elements of the KH numbered titles, however the additional D-Links, shotlocks, and command decks were a nice feature even if some were pointless to me like the d-links.

The story was pretty good, not gonna lie. Terra having to try and control the darkness within him, only for him to become Xehanort's vessel in the end and become Terra-Xehanort. Ventus trying to warn Terra of his fate only for him to fight Vanitas and create the x-blade, putting him to sleep in the end. And then Aqua, the keyblade master who wants to aid Terra in protecting him, only for her to be the only one remaining...oh and she got trapped in the realm of darkness too. Wonder what's going to happen with these guys now that their prequel is over.

The additional Mirage Arena was a nice feature too, however I didn't really utilise it much past my time as Terra as I had used it quite a bit for command levelling. And the command board too was fun for a while playing like Fortune Street, however needing to do it for certain commands locked in certain boards and having to get the Pete D-Link were both annoying. But other than that, this is a solid game.
